DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the technical field of glass substrates, and more specifically to a glass substrate thinning process. [Prior Art] According to the current processing method of thinning the thickness of the glass substrate, the glass substrate is usually ground by a grinding apparatus (LAPPING) to obtain a desired thickness after a period of time. Since the surface of the glass substrate is ground by a grinding device, it is necessary to match the abrasive (such as alumina and carbon stone), and the thickness of about 5 to 40 um can be removed in i minutes, which is not only time consuming, but also the glass substrate is polished. The thinning method is prone to problems such as glass warpage and dust generated during the grinding process, which is harmful to human health. Therefore, it is not the way to reduce the thickness of the glass substrate. In addition, as for the invention patent of the method for producing a glass substrate for display and the glass substrate for display obtained by the method of the invention of the Republic of China, the method for removing the surface of the glass plate by means of chemical etching is not used. The homogeneous layer also has the effect of thinning the glass. However, since the surface of the glass substrate is inevitably surface defects (scratches, impurities, etc.), the surface defects (4) will be enlarged after being processed by the chemical medicine ship program. The technology disclosed in this invention patent still has drawbacks. 200800822 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is to provide a glass substrate thinning process which can solve the problem of the prior invention, which can quickly thin the glass substrate and shorten the processing time, and solve the problem of the conventional lapping method. The problem that the glass is warped and the dust is harmful to human health during the grinding process is further solved by the problem that the surface defects (scratches, impurities, etc.) of the glass substrate are enlarged by the chemical etching process. In order to achieve the foregoing objective, the present invention provides a glass substrate thinning process comprising at least the following steps: polishing the surface of the glass substrate to eliminate defects on the surface of the glass substrate; b) etching procedure : polishing the polished glass substrate with a hydrofluoric acid-containing etchant for a predetermined time to remove the predetermined thickness of the glass substrate; C) re-polishing procedure: polishing the etched glass substrate to eliminate silver immersion Defects on the surface of the glass substrate. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the following drawings: As shown in the first figure, a glass substrate thinning process according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is The first step is an initial polishing process 10: the polishing operation of the surface of the glass substrate is performed by using a polishing pad of a conventional polishing device and a polishing liquid containing cerium oxide powder (not shown) to eliminate defects on the surface of the glass substrate. 200800822 The second step of the present invention is an etching process 20: etching the polished glass substrate with a hydrofluoric acid-containing etchant for a predetermined time by immersing the glass substrate in a immersion agent for removing the glass substrate. The thickness of the preview. The immersion agent is prepared by mixing less than 5% of hydrofluoric acid, less than 2% hydrochloric acid and water, and the time of dip- dicing of the glass substrate depends on how much thickness is to be removed, and only needs to be measured by a conventional caliper. The desired etching time can be known by immersing the glass substrate with a thickness of the glass substrate after a predetermined period of time. The final step of the present invention is a re-polishing process 30: polishing the surface of the etched glass substrate to eliminate defects caused by the surface of the etched glass substrate, so that the glass of the desired thickness can be obtained. Substrate. Further, in the etching method of the present invention, the etching agent may be directly sprayed (SPRAY) on the surface of the glass substrate to immerse the glass substrate. It can be seen from the above that the glass substrate thinning process of the present invention utilizes a chemical agent (dip agent) to dip the glass substrate, and the thickness of the glass substrate can be quickly reduced and the processing time can be shortened compared with the conventional lapping method. At the same time, it can solve the problem that the glass warpage caused by the LAPPING method and the dust generated during the grinding process are dangerous to human health, and the initial polishing and re-polishing process can avoid the surface defect of the glass substrate (scratch, Impurities, pits, etc.) are enlarged by the chemical etching process. Of course, the ratio of hydrofluoric acid and hydrochloric acid in the composition of the etchant used in the etching process of the present invention can be adjusted, and even other chemical corrosive agents can be added, and the etching strength of the etchant can be changed or adjusted. In summary, the glass substrate thinning process provided by the invention can shorten the processing time of the glass substrate and shorten the processing time, and solve the problem that the glass warpage caused by the conventional grinding method and the dust generated during the grinding process are good for human health. The problem of the hazard, and the problem that the surface of the glass substrate is lacking (scraping & 'impurity', etc.) is expanded by the chemical chemical immersion program; the invention is indeed in accordance with the invention patent The provisions of the law, 提出 apply in accordance with the law.
