Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a nonlinear element of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structure on a substrate, by performing patterning only twice by treating the 1st metallic layer, an insulator layer, and the 2nd metallic layer according to specific stages. CONSTITUTION:A transparent conductive film 7 and the 1st metal 8 provided on the substrate 6 are patterned in a specific shape, and then the 1st metal 8 is adhered thereupon and oxidized to a specific thickness to form the insulator 9 (while parts shown by a slanting line part are oxidized completely). Then, the 2nd metal layer 10 is formed thereupon, patterned in a specific shape, and used as a mask to remove the insulator 9 and the 1st metal 8, forming MIM elements at parts 11 and 12 (indicated by slanting lines).

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, an insulator 5 is uniformly formed on the surface of the first metal 2 in a high temperature atmosphere containing oxygen gas or by a method such as anodic oxidation.

As is clear from Figure 7, the voltage applied to the M element
The current value (2) varies depending on the direction of the liquid crystal layer, which has the disadvantage that a DC voltage is applied to the liquid crystal layer. It is well known that when a DC voltage is applied to a liquid crystal material, the material deteriorates. Furthermore, in order to manufacture an MIM element, a patterning process is required three times, which has the disadvantage of increasing the cost. Furthermore, there was a drawback that the yield was poor due to three patterning steps. Furthermore, when one or more MIM elements are installed on the same line, the wiring of adjacent MIM elements becomes the first metal with an insulator formed on the surface, so when assembled into an electro-optical device, the wiring between the MIM elements This has the disadvantage that the wiring becomes conspicuous and the appearance of the electro-optical device becomes poor.

Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the surface of the first metal 8 is oxidized to a predetermined thickness to form an insulator 9.

As described below, according to the present invention, there is an advantage that an M element with an M process can be formed by two patterning steps. Furthermore, since the buttering process is carried out twice, there is an advantage that the yield can be improved and the price can be lowered. Furthermore, when a plurality of M-type M elements are installed in the same line, the wiring of the M-type M elements that overlap each other becomes a transparent conductive film, which has the advantage that the appearance of the electrochemical device improves. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 18, MIM elements can be formed at the same time in portions 11 and 12, and since M elements 12 and 11 are connected in series with opposite polarities, they become non-polar and form a liquid crystal layer. This has the advantage that direct voltage can be prevented from being applied.

The present invention is particularly effective as a method for manufacturing an electro-optical device equipped with an MIM element at low cost and with high yield.
