[

A manufacturing method of the array substrate according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

5A to 5M are cross-sectional views for explaining a manufacturing method of an array substrate for a self-capacitance type Insel-type touch display device according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

5A, a first metal material layer 260 and a second metal material layer 262 are sequentially formed on the substrate 220 using the first and second metal materials, After a photoresist layer (not shown) is formed over the material layer 262, a first mask (not shown) is disposed over the photoresist layer.

The first metal material layer 260 is made of a relatively opaque first metal material such as titanium and has a first thickness t1 and the second metal material layer 262 is molybdenum Mo, And a second thickness t2 that is greater than the first thickness t1, wherein the etching rate of the second metal material is greater than the etching rate of the first metal material, The etching selectivity of the second metal material to the first metal material is relatively large. For example, the etch selectivity ratio of the second metal material to the first metal material may be at least about 10: 1.

At this time, the first mask includes a semi-transmissive region A including ultraviolet rays, a blocking region C blocking ultraviolet rays, and a semi-transmissive region B having a transmissivity with respect to ultraviolet rays larger than that of the transmissive region, And the transmissive mask may correspond to an area where the transmissive area A is not formed with the light shielding layer 222 (FIG. 4) and the data line (FIG. 4) 224, The photoresist layer 224 is formed so as to correspond to the data line 224 other than directly below the layer 228 and to correspond to the light shielding layer 222 and the data line 224 immediately below the active layer 228, As shown in FIG.

Then, the photoresist layer is exposed by irradiating ultraviolet rays through the semi-transparent mask, and the exposed photoresist layer is developed to form the first photoresist pattern 270, The photoresist layer is completely removed and the photoresist layer corresponding to the blocking region C of the semi-transparent mask is maintained as it is and has the third thickness t3, and the photoresist layer corresponding to the semi-transparent region B of the semi- The resist layer is partly removed and partly remains to have a fourth thickness t4.

Accordingly, the first photoresist pattern 270 exposes the second metal material layer 262 in the region where the light shielding layer (222 in FIG. 4) and the data line (224 in FIG. 4) are not formed, and the active layer 228 In the region corresponding to the data line 224 except for the lower portion directly below the active layer 228 and the third thickness t3 in the region corresponding to the data line 224 immediately under the active layer 228, And a fourth thickness t4 that is less than the thickness t3.

5B, the second metal material layer 262 and the first metal material layer 260 are sequentially etched using the first photoresist pattern 270 as an etching mask, A pattern 264 and a data wiring pattern 266. The light shielding layer pattern 264 includes a first layer 264a of a first metal material and a second layer 264b of a second metal material, The wiring pattern 266 includes a first layer 266a of a first metallic material and a second layer 266b of a second metallic material.

For example, the second metal material layer 262 may be etched by wet etching and the first metal material layer 260 may be etched by dry etching in succession, The second metal material layer 262 can be etched without affecting the first metal material layer 260 during wet etching because the etching selectivity ratio of the second metal material to the first metal material layer 260 is greater than about 10: 1.

The second photoresist pattern 272 is formed by ashing the first photoresist pattern 270 to form a third photoresist pattern 272 having a third thickness corresponding to the blocking region C of the semi- a part of the first photoresist pattern 270 having a thickness t3 is removed and a part of the first photoresist pattern 270 is left to have the fifth thickness t5 and the fourth thickness t4 corresponding to the transflective region B of the semi- The first photoresist pattern 270 is completely removed.

The second photoresist pattern 272 is formed between the second layer 264b of the light shielding layer pattern 222 and the light shielding layer pattern 264 in the region corresponding to the data wiring 224, The second layer 266b of the wiring pattern 266 is exposed and the fourth thickness t4 is subtracted from the third thickness t3 in a region corresponding to the data wiring 224 other than immediately below the active layer 228 And a fifth thickness t5, which is a value.

The second layer 264b of the light shielding layer pattern 264 and the second layer 266b of the data wiring pattern 266 are patterned by using the second photoresist pattern 272 as an etching mask, And the light-shielding layer 222 and the data wiring 224 are formed by etching.

For example, the second layer 264b of the light-shielding layer pattern 264 and the second layer 266b of the data wiring pattern 266 may be etched by wet etching or dry etching, The first layer 264a of the light layer pattern 264 and the first layer 266a of the data wiring pattern 266 do not affect the wet etching or dry etching because the etch selectivity ratio of the metal material is not less than about 10: The second layer 264b of the light-shielding layer pattern 264 and the second layer 266b of the data wiring pattern 266 can be etched.

The second photoresist pattern 272 is removed to complete the light shielding layer 222 and the data wiring 224 as shown in FIG. 5E.

As described above, after the first and second metal material layers 260 and 262 are continuously formed on the substrate 220, the first mask having the first thickness t1 is formed using the first mask as the semi- The first metal layer 224a of the first thickness t1 and the first metal layer 224a of the first thickness t1 are formed only in the regions directly under the active layer 228 and the first metal layer 224a of the first thickness t1 immediately below the active layer 228, And the second metal layer 224b of the second thickness t2 can be formed at the same time.

Therefore, the step difference S between the light-shielding layer 222 overlapping the active layer 228 and the data line 224, which is a relatively small first thickness t1, without increasing the number of exposure masks, The voltage drop and the delay of the signal flowing through the data line 224 can be prevented by the relatively large second thickness t2.

Since the light-shielding layer 222 and the data line 224 overlapping the active layer 228 are formed with a relatively small first thickness t1, the amorphous silicon layer is deposited and then crystallized to form a polycrystalline silicon layer Cutting of the active layer 228 by the step S of the light-shielding layer 222 and the data wiring 224 overlapping the active layer 228 after the crystallization process is prevented.

A gate insulating layer 230 is formed of an insulating material on the entire surface of the substrate 220 over the active layer 228 and then a gate insulating layer 230 is formed on the gate insulating layer 230 using a metal material.

In the second embodiment, the planarization layer 244 is formed of a photosensitive organic insulation material. However, in another embodiment, a photoresist layer may be formed on the planarization layer 244 of a photosensitive organic insulation material, The photoresist layer may be exposed and developed using a mask, and the planarization layer 244 may be etched to form openings.
