Description
본 발명은 평판디스플레이용 액정표시장치 등에서 투명전극의 미세패턴을 형성하는데 사용되는 비정질 산화인듐주석막 (이하 ‘ITO막’이라 함.) 또는 산화인듐아연막 (이하 ‘IZO막’이라 함.)인 투명도전막을 에칭시키는 평판디스플레이용 투명도전막의 에칭액 조성물에 관한 것이다.In the present invention, an amorphous indium tin oxide film (hereinafter referred to as an "ITO film") or an indium zinc oxide film (hereinafter referred to as an "IZO film") used in forming a fine pattern of a transparent electrode in a liquid crystal display device for a flat panel display. The etching liquid composition of the transparent conductive film for flat panel displays which etches a phosphorus transparent conductive film is related.
투명도전막은 박막트랜지스터 액정표시장치, 플라즈마 디스플레이 패널표시장치, 일렉트로 루미네센스 표시장치 등의 평판디스플레이용 표시장치에 폭넓게 사용되고 있는 박막으로서, 상기 평판디스플레이용 표시장치에 투명도전막을 형성하기 위해서는 원하는 미세패턴을 형성시키는 에칭 공정이 필요하며, 이때 사용되는 투명도전막으로서는 IZO막 또는 ITO막이 주로 사용되고 있다.The transparent conductive film is a thin film widely used in flat panel display devices such as a thin film transistor liquid crystal display device, a plasma display panel display device, an electroluminescence display device, and the like, in order to form a transparent conductive film on the flat panel display device. An etching process for forming a pattern is required, and an IZO film or an ITO film is mainly used as the transparent conductive film used at this time.
상기 ITO막 또는 IZO막의 사용은 보호막 등의 위에 ITO막 또는 IZO막을 형성시킨 다음 포토레지스터를 마스크로서 도포 한 후 ITO막 또는 IZO막을 에칭하게 되는 것으로 기존의 ITO막 또는 IZO막용 에칭액으로는 염산ㆍ질산 혼합수용액(왕수계), 염산ㆍ초산 혼합수용액, 염화제이철 수용액, 요오드산 수용액, 인산수용 액, 옥살산(수산)수용액 등이 사용되고 있지만, 이러한 종래의 ITO막 또는 IZO막용 에칭액 들은 아래와 같은 문제점을 내재하고 있다.The use of the ITO film or the IZO film is to form an ITO film or an IZO film on a protective film, and then to apply a photoresist as a mask, and then to etch the ITO film or the IZO film.
