Description

刻蝕劑組合物、金屬圖案的形成方法和陣列基板的製法 Etchant composition, method for forming metal pattern, and method for fabricating array substrate

本發明涉及一種用於銀(Ag)或銀合金的單層膜或由所述單層膜和銦氧化物膜組成的多層膜的刻蝕劑組合物、一種使用該刻蝕劑組合物形成金屬圖案的方法以及一種使用該刻蝕劑組合物製造用於有機發光二極管(OLED)的陣列基板的方法。 The present invention relates to an etchant composition for a single layer film of silver (Ag) or a silver alloy or a multilayer film composed of the single layer film and an indium oxide film, and a metal for forming the metal using the etchant composition A method of patterning and a method of fabricating an array substrate for an organic light emitting diode (OLED) using the etchant composition.

有機發光二極管包括兩個相對的電極以及具有半導體性質且布置在兩個相對的電極之間的有機多層薄膜。這種有機發光二極管利用有機材料將電能轉化成光能的有機發光現象。具體地,這種有機發光二極管是利用下述現象的自發光顯示器:在該現象中通過負極和正極而注入至有機材料(單分子/低分子或聚合物)薄膜的電子和空穴再結合以形成激子,具有特定波長的光作為能量從激子中發出。 An organic light emitting diode includes two opposing electrodes and an organic multilayer film having semiconductor properties and disposed between two opposing electrodes. Such an organic light emitting diode utilizes an organic material to convert electrical energy into an organic luminescence phenomenon of light energy. Specifically, such an organic light emitting diode is a self-luminous display that utilizes a phenomenon in which electrons and holes injected into a film of an organic material (single molecule/low molecule or polymer) through a negative electrode and a positive electrode are recombined to Excitons are formed, and light having a specific wavelength is emitted as energy from excitons.

在平板顯示器中,作為自發光器件的有機發光顯示器(下文,稱為“OLED”),由於其不需要在作為不發光顯示器的液晶顯示器(LCD)中使用的背光單元,所以能夠被製造的輕且薄。OLED的優勢在於:與LCD相比,具有卓越的視角和對比度,就能耗方面也具有優勢,其能夠通過直流低電壓來驅動,具有快速的響應速度,由於其內部構造是固體所以抵抗外部衝擊,並且其能夠在廣泛的溫度範圍內使用。 In a flat panel display, an organic light emitting display (hereinafter, referred to as "OLED") as a self-luminous device can be manufactured lightly because it does not require a backlight unit used in a liquid crystal display (LCD) which is a non-emissive display. And thin. The advantage of OLED is that it has superior viewing angle and contrast compared with LCD, and it has advantages in terms of energy consumption. It can be driven by DC low voltage, has fast response speed, and is resistant to external impact due to its internal structure being solid. And it can be used over a wide range of temperatures.

同時,隨著有機發光顯示器(OLED)顯示面積的增加,與薄 膜晶體管(TFT)連接的閘線和數據線變長,從而增加了佈線電阻。為此,當在閘線和數據線中使用鉻(Cr)、鉬(Mo)、鋁(Al)或它們的合金時,難以增加平板顯示器的尺寸且難以實現平板顯示器的高分辨率。因此,為了解決電阻增加而帶來的信號延遲問題,需要用具有低電阻率的材料來製造閘線和數據線。 At the same time, with the increase in the display area of organic light-emitting displays (OLEDs), and thin The gate and data lines of the film transistor (TFT) are connected to lengthen, thereby increasing the wiring resistance. For this reason, when chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), aluminum (Al), or an alloy thereof is used in the gate line and the data line, it is difficult to increase the size of the flat panel display and it is difficult to achieve high resolution of the flat panel display. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of signal delay caused by an increase in resistance, it is necessary to manufacture a gate line and a data line with a material having a low resistivity.

為了該目的,通過將銀(Ag)膜、銀合金膜或包括銀膜和銀合金膜的多層膜(這些膜具有低於其它金屬膜的電阻率(電阻率:約1.59μΩ.cm)以及高於其它金屬膜的亮度)應用於彩色過濾器的電極、LCD的佈線以及反射板,已經進行了增加平板顯示器的尺寸、實現平板顯示器的高分辨率以及降低能耗的努力。作為上述努力的一部分,已經開發了適合在這些材料中使用的刻蝕劑。 For this purpose, a silver (Ag) film, a silver alloy film or a multilayer film including a silver film and a silver alloy film (the films have a lower resistivity (resistance: about 1.59 μΩ·cm) and higher than other metal films) In the case of the brightness of other metal films, the electrodes applied to the color filter, the wiring of the LCD, and the reflecting plate, efforts have been made to increase the size of the flat panel display, achieve high resolution of the flat panel display, and reduce energy consumption. As part of this effort, etchants suitable for use in these materials have been developed.

然而,由於銀對下基板的附著力非常小,不能容易地將銀(Ag)沉積在下基板上,例如由玻璃製成的絕緣基板,或由純無定形矽或摻雜的無定形矽製成的半導體基板。此外,銀(Ag)佈線容易翹起(lifted)或剝皮。而且,甚至在銀(Ag)導電層被沉積在基板上的情況下,當在使銀導電層圖案化過程中使用常規刻蝕劑時,銀(Ag)導電層被過度或不均勻地刻蝕,因此引起佈線翹起或剝皮現象,並且使佈線橫向輪廓差。因此,進行了對用於解決上述問題的新型刻蝕劑的研究。 However, since the adhesion of silver to the lower substrate is very small, silver (Ag) cannot be easily deposited on the lower substrate, such as an insulating substrate made of glass, or made of pure amorphous germanium or doped amorphous germanium. Semiconductor substrate. In addition, silver (Ag) wiring is easily lifted or peeled. Moreover, even in the case where a silver (Ag) conductive layer is deposited on the substrate, the silver (Ag) conductive layer is excessively or unevenly etched when a conventional etchant is used in patterning the silver conductive layer. Therefore, the wiring is lifted or peeled, and the lateral profile of the wiring is made poor. Therefore, research on a novel etchant for solving the above problems has been conducted.

例如,韓國專利10-0579421公開了一種刻蝕劑組合物,所述刻蝕劑組合物含有硝酸、磷酸、乙酸、輔助氧化物溶劑、含氟碳類表面活性劑和水。然而,該刻蝕劑組合物的問題在於:儘管該組合物刻蝕透明電極/銀/透明電極膜組件的銀,並且防止其透明電極膜腐蝕,但是該組合物中含有的磷酸損壞下部數據線(lower data line)。因此,需要開發一種用於解決上述問題的刻蝕劑組合物。 For example, Korean Patent No. 10-0579421 discloses an etchant composition containing nitric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, an auxiliary oxide solvent, a fluorine-containing carbon-based surfactant, and water. However, the etchant composition has a problem in that although the composition etches the silver of the transparent electrode/silver/transparent electrode film assembly and prevents the transparent electrode film from being corroded, the phosphoric acid contained in the composition damages the lower data line. (lower data line). Therefore, there is a need to develop an etchant composition for solving the above problems.

因此,作出了本發明以解決上述問題,本發明的目的是提供一種刻蝕劑組合物,它降低銀(Ag)或銀合金的單層膜或由所述 單層膜和銦氧化物膜組成的多層膜的側刻蝕速率,表現出均一的刻蝕特性而不損壞下部數據線且不產生殘渣,並且具有改善的長期可儲存性,本發明的又一目的是提供一種使用所述刻蝕劑組合物來形成金屬圖案的方法以及一種使用所述刻蝕劑組合物來製造用於有機發光顯示器(OLED)的陣列基板的方法。 Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an etchant composition which reduces a single layer film of silver (Ag) or a silver alloy or The side etching rate of the multilayer film composed of the single layer film and the indium oxide film exhibits uniform etching characteristics without damaging the lower data line and no residue, and has improved long-term storability, and is another aspect of the present invention.

在下文中,本發明將被詳細描述。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

本發明提供一種用於銀(Ag)或銀合金的單層膜或由所述單層膜和銦氧化物膜組成的多層膜的刻蝕劑組合物,該刻蝕劑組合物包含具有羧基的雜環化合物。 The present invention provides an etchant composition for a single layer film of silver (Ag) or a silver alloy or a multilayer film composed of the single layer film and an indium oxide film, the etchant composition comprising a carboxyl group Heterocyclic compound.

本發明的刻蝕劑組合物的特徵在於它能同時刻蝕銀(Ag)或銀合金的單層膜或由所述單層膜和銦氧化物膜組成的多層膜。 The etchant composition of the present invention is characterized in that it can simultaneously etch a single layer film of silver (Ag) or a silver alloy or a multilayer film composed of the single layer film and an indium oxide film.

在本發明中,由銀(Ag)或銀合金的單層膜和銦氧化物膜組成的多層膜可以是銦氧化物膜/銀膜的雙層膜、銦氧化物膜/銀膜/銦氧化物膜的三層膜等。此外,銦氧化物可以是氧化銦錫(ITO)、氧化銦鋅(IZO)等。 In the present invention, the multilayer film composed of a single layer film of silver (Ag) or a silver alloy and an indium oxide film may be a two-layer film of an indium oxide film/silver film, an indium oxide film/silver film/indium oxide. A three-layer film of a film or the like. Further, the indium oxide may be indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO) or the like.

在本發明的刻蝕劑組合物中,具有羧基的雜環化合物控制發生在刻蝕50張或更多張銀膜時銀簇的再吸附,從而影響銀膜張數的减少。基於刻蝕劑組合物的總重量,以0.1~0.8wt%的量添加具有羧基的雜環化合物。當其量大於0.8wt%時,銀膜被不均一地刻蝕。此外,當其量小於0.1wt%時,銀簇被再吸附。 In the etchant composition of the present invention, the heterocyclic compound having a carboxyl group controls re-adsorption of silver clusters when etching 50 or more silver films, thereby affecting the reduction in the number of silver film sheets. A heterocyclic compound having a carboxyl group is added in an amount of 0.1 to 0.8% by weight based on the total weight of the etchant composition. When the amount thereof is more than 0.8% by weight, the silver film is etched unevenly. Further, when the amount thereof is less than 0.1% by weight, the silver clusters are resorbed.

具有羧基的雜環化合物是具有N或O為雜原子的五元至十元 雜環化合物,並可以被1至10個碳原子的烷基取代。 A heterocyclic compound having a carboxyl group is a five to ten dollar having N or O as a hetero atom A heterocyclic compound and may be substituted with an alkyl group of 1 to 10 carbon atoms.

在這種情況下,羧基的數量可以是1或2。 In this case, the number of carboxyl groups may be 1 or 2.

作為具有羧基的雜環化合物,可以使用吡啶羧酸類化合物,諸如吡啶羧酸(PCA)、吡啶雙羧酸(PDCA)等。 As the heterocyclic compound having a carboxyl group, a pyridine carboxylic acid compound such as pyridinecarboxylic acid (PCA), pyridine dicarboxylic acid (PDCA) or the like can be used.

上述刻蝕劑組合物還可以包含硝酸、硫酸、過硫酸鹽、磷酸鹽和餘量的水。 The above etchant composition may further comprise nitric acid, sulfuric acid, persulfate, phosphate and the balance of water.

在上述刻蝕劑組合物中,用作主氧化劑成分的硝酸(HNO3)通過使銀金屬膜和銦氧化物膜氧化而用於濕刻蝕銀金屬膜和銦氧化物膜。基於刻蝕劑組合物的總重量,硝酸的量是7.0~13.0wt%。 當硝酸的量小於7.0wt%時,銀膜的刻蝕速率會下降,而且銀膜的刻蝕輪廓會變差。此外,當硝酸的量大於13.0wt%時,在刻蝕銦氧化物膜/銀膜/銦氧化物膜的三層膜的情況下,由於銦氧化物膜的過度刻蝕而使得銀膜的表面層暴露,從而引起銀與基板的表面分離並隨後通過後續工藝的熱處理而再吸附在其上的問題。 In the above etchant composition, nitric acid (HNO3) used as a main oxidizing agent component is used for wet etching of a silver metal film and an indium oxide film by oxidizing a silver metal film and an indium oxide film. The amount of nitric acid is 7.0 to 13.0% by weight based on the total weight of the etchant composition. When the amount of nitric acid is less than 7.0% by weight, the etching rate of the silver film is lowered, and the etching profile of the silver film is deteriorated. Further, when the amount of nitric acid is more than 13.0% by weight, in the case of etching a three-layer film of an indium oxide film/silver film/indium oxide film, the surface of the silver film is caused by excessive etching of the indium oxide film The layer is exposed, causing the problem that silver is separated from the surface of the substrate and then adsorbed thereon by heat treatment of a subsequent process.

在上述刻蝕劑組合物中,基於刻蝕劑組合物的總重量,以4.5~10.5wt%的量添加被用作輔助氧化物溶劑成分的硫酸(H2SO4)。當以大於10.5wt%的量而過量地添加硫酸時,由於高刻蝕速率刻蝕長度增長,從而延遲工藝。此外,當以小於4.5wt%的量添加硫酸時,銀膜可能不易於被刻蝕。 In the above etchant composition, sulfuric acid (H2SO4) used as an auxiliary oxide solvent component is added in an amount of 4.5 to 10.5 wt% based on the total weight of the etchant composition. When sulfuric acid is excessively added in an amount of more than 10.5 wt%, the etching length is increased due to a high etching rate, thereby delaying the process. Further, when sulfuric acid is added in an amount of less than 4.5% by weight, the silver film may not be easily etched.

在上述刻蝕劑組合物中,基於刻蝕劑組合物的總重量,以12.0~17.0wt%的量添加用作氧化劑和反應引發劑的過硫酸鹽。當其量大於17.0wt%時,銦氧化物膜被過度刻蝕。此外,當其量小於12.0wt%時,銀膜的刻蝕速率可能下降,而且銀膜的刻蝕輪廓可能變差。 In the above etchant composition, a persulfate serving as an oxidizing agent and a reaction initiator is added in an amount of from 12.0 to 17.0% by weight based on the total weight of the etchant composition. When the amount thereof is more than 17.0% by weight, the indium oxide film is excessively etched. Further, when the amount thereof is less than 12.0% by weight, the etching rate of the silver film may be lowered, and the etching profile of the silver film may be deteriorated.

過硫酸鹽並不受特別限制,只要其在相關領域中使用。然而,優選的是,過硫酸鹽是選自由過硫酸鉀(PPS)、過硫酸鈉(SPS)和過硫酸銨(APS)組成的組中的任何一種。 The persulfate is not particularly limited as long as it is used in the related art. However, it is preferred that the persulfate is any one selected from the group consisting of potassium persulfate (PPS), sodium persulfate (SPS), and ammonium persulfate (APS).

在上述刻蝕劑組合物中,磷酸鹽用於均一地刻蝕銦氧化物 膜。基於刻蝕劑組合物的總重量,以0.5~4.0wt%的量添加磷酸鹽。當其量大於4.0wt%時,銦氧化物膜被不均一地刻蝕。此外,當其量小於0.5wt%時,銦氧化物膜的刻蝕速率可能下降,而且銦氧化物膜的刻蝕輪廓可能變差。 In the above etchant composition, phosphate is used to uniformly etch indium oxide membrane. Phosphate is added in an amount of 0.5 to 4.0% by weight based on the total weight of the etchant composition. When the amount thereof is more than 4.0% by weight, the indium oxide film is etched unevenly. Further, when the amount thereof is less than 0.5% by weight, the etching rate of the indium oxide film may be lowered, and the etching profile of the indium oxide film may be deteriorated.

磷酸鹽並不受特別限制,只要其在相關領域中使用並能夠在溶液中解離成磷酸根離子。然而,優選的是,磷酸鹽是選自由磷酸二氫銨、磷酸二氫鈉、磷酸二氫鈣、磷酸二氫鉀、磷酸氫二銨、磷酸氫二鈉、磷酸氫鈣和磷酸氫二鉀組成的組中的任何一種。 The phosphate is not particularly limited as long as it is used in the related art and can be dissociated into a phosphate ion in a solution. Preferably, however, the phosphate is selected from the group consisting of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, calcium dihydrogen phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, diammonium hydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, calcium hydrogen phosphate, and dipotassium hydrogen phosphate. Any of the groups.

在本發明的刻蝕劑組合物中,水並不受特別限制,但去離子水是優選的。具體地,具有18MΩ‧cm或更大的電阻率(也就是說,從水中除去離子的程度)的去離子水是更優選的。本發明中使用的水可以以餘量而被包含,從而使得刻蝕劑組合物的總量為100%。 In the etchant composition of the present invention, water is not particularly limited, but deionized water is preferred. Specifically, deionized water having a resistivity of 18 MΩ ‧ cm or more (that is, the degree of removal of ions from water) is more preferable. The water used in the present invention may be contained in a balance such that the total amount of the etchant composition is 100%.

除上述成分外,上述刻蝕劑組合物還可以包含常規添加劑。作為添加劑,表面活性劑、螯合劑或防腐蝕劑可以被使用。 In addition to the above ingredients, the above etchant composition may further contain a conventional additive. As an additive, a surfactant, a chelating agent or an anticorrosive agent can be used.
