Description

氧化鉬基燒結體、濺鍍靶材、使用燒結體的氧化物薄膜、包含薄膜的薄膜電晶體及顯示裝置Molybdenum oxide-based sintered body, sputtering target, oxide thin film using sintered body, thin film transistor including thin film, and display device

本發明關於低反射、耐化學性及耐熱性優秀的氧化鉬基燒結體、使用該燒結體的薄膜、包含該薄膜的薄膜電晶體及顯示裝置。The present invention relates to a molybdenum oxide-based sintered body excellent in low reflection, chemical resistance, and heat resistance, a thin film using the sintered body, a thin film transistor including the thin film, and a display device.

作為代表性的材料有氧化銦錫(ITO,In 2O 3-SnO 2),氧化銦錫組合物用於形成可視光線透射度及導電率較高的導電薄膜。雖然,這種氧化銦錫組合物具備優秀的低反射性能,但是,存在其經濟性低下的問題,因此,正持續研究代替所有氧化銦或部分氧化銦的材料。 A representative material is indium tin oxide (ITO, In 2 O 3 -SnO 2 ), and the indium tin oxide composition is used to form a conductive film with high visible light transmittance and high conductivity. Although such an indium tin oxide composition has excellent low-reflection performance, it has a problem of low economical efficiency. Therefore, research is continuing on materials that can replace all or part of indium oxide.

然而,在這種研究中,所關注的部分主要關於由靶材形成的薄膜的低反射率,因此,當長時間使用時,實際上需要考慮耐化學性、耐熱性等特性,以便增加薄膜的可靠性。However, in this kind of research, the part of concern is mainly about the low reflectance of the film formed from the target material, so when it is used for a long time, it is actually necessary to consider characteristics such as chemical resistance and heat resistance in order to increase the film's reliability.

燒結體及濺鍍靶材Sintered body and sputtering target

在本發明的一例中,金屬氧化物燒結體用於製備將氧化鉬作為主要成分的濺鍍靶材。In one example of the present invention, the metal oxide sintered body is used to prepare a sputtering target mainly composed of molybdenum oxide.

根據一具體例,上述燒結體包含:氧化鉬,包含MoO 2和MoO 3,在上述MoO 2及MoO 3中,MoO 2的含量為50重量百分比至90重量百分比;金屬氧化物M1,選自由Nb 2O 5、Ta 2O 5、ZrO 2、TiO 2、SnO 2及WO 3組成的群組中的一種以上;以及金屬M2,選自由Mo、Ti、Cr、W及Cu組成的群組中的一種以上,相對於相應燒結體的總重量,至少包含70重量百分比以上的氧化鉬作為主要成分。 According to a specific example, the above-mentioned sintered body includes: molybdenum oxide, including MoO 2 and MoO 3 , in the above-mentioned MoO 2 and MoO 3 , the content of MoO 2 is 50% by weight to 90% by weight; metal oxide M1, selected from Nb One or more of the group consisting of 2 O 5 , Ta 2 O 5 , ZrO 2 , TiO 2 , SnO 2 and WO 3 ; and metal M2 selected from the group consisting of Mo, Ti, Cr, W and Cu One or more kinds, containing at least 70% by weight or more of molybdenum oxide as a main component relative to the total weight of the corresponding sintered body.

在將上述金屬氧化物燒結體用作靶材形成薄膜的情況下,所形成的薄膜具有低反射特性,同時,藉由最佳化氧化鉬的比例及組成成分來提高耐熱性及耐化學性。In the case of forming a thin film using the metal oxide sintered body as a target, the formed thin film has low reflection characteristics, and at the same time, heat resistance and chemical resistance are improved by optimizing the ratio and composition of molybdenum oxide.

以下,詳細說明各個組成成分。Hereinafter, each component will be described in detail.

氧化鉬作為鉬與氧相結合的成分,例如有MoO 2、MoO 3、MoO 4等。本發明中的氧化鉬包含MoO 2、MoO 3Molybdenum oxide is a component in which molybdenum and oxygen are combined, for example, there are MoO 2 , MoO 3 , MoO 4 and the like. Molybdenum oxide in the present invention includes MoO 2 and MoO 3 .

對於構成上述氧化鉬的MoO 2和MoO 3的含量,MoO 2為50重量百分比至90重量百分比,MoO 3為10重量百分比至50重量百分比。在MoO 2含量小於50重量百分比的情況下,因MoO 3含量的增加而導致燒結密度的降低,因此,當蒸鍍薄膜時,化學穩定性並不理想。另一方面,在MoO 2含量大於90重量百分比的情況下,燒結密度可因MoO 2含量的增加而增加,但是,隨著靶材強度的降低,可導致靶材內產生龜裂。另一方面,若按照MoO 2/MoO 3重量百分比顯示,則其比例為1~16。 Regarding the contents of MoO 2 and MoO 3 constituting the above molybdenum oxide, MoO 2 is 50 wt % to 90 wt %, and MoO 3 is 10 wt % to 50 wt %. In the case where the MoO 2 content is less than 50% by weight, the sintered density decreases due to an increase in the MoO 3 content, and therefore, the chemical stability is not ideal when a thin film is evaporated. On the other hand, when the content of MoO 2 is greater than 90% by weight, the sintered density can be increased due to the increase of the content of MoO 2 , however, as the strength of the target material decreases, cracks can be generated in the target material.

氧化物燒結體及濺鍍靶材的製備方法Preparation method of oxide sintered body and sputtering target

以下,說明本發明一實施方式的氧化物燒結體及濺鍍靶材的製備方法。但是,並不限定於下述製備方法,也可根據需求改變各個製程的步驟或選擇性地混合執行。Hereinafter, a method for producing an oxide sintered body and a sputtering target according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. However, it is not limited to the preparation method described below, and the steps of each process may be changed or selectively mixed according to needs.

作為較佳一實施例,上述製備方法可包括:第一步驟(i),混合氧化鉬、至少一種金屬氧化物M1及至少一種金屬M2;第二步驟(ii),對混合而成的原料粉末進行燒結;第三步驟(iii),對由材料粉末燒結而成的燒結體進行加工;以及第四步驟(iv),向墊板焊接燒結體來完成靶材。As a preferred embodiment, the above preparation method may include: the first step (i), mixing molybdenum oxide, at least one metal oxide M1 and at least one metal M2; the second step (ii), mixing the raw material powder performing sintering; the third step (iii), processing the sintered body obtained by sintering the material powder; and the fourth step (iv), welding the sintered body to the backing plate to complete the target.

以下,按照各個製程說明上述製備方法。Hereinafter, the above-mentioned production method will be described according to each production process.

首先,在第一步驟中,按照所期望的化學成分對由MoO 2和MoO 3組成的氧化鉬粉末;Nb 2O 5、Ta 2O 5、ZrO 2、TiO 2、SnO 2及WO 3粉末中的一種以上的金屬氧化物M1;以及Mo、Ti、Cr、W及Cu中的一種以上的金屬M2進行稱量並混合。 First, in the first step, the molybdenum oxide powder composed of MoO 2 and MoO 3 ; Nb 2 O 5 , Ta 2 O 5 , ZrO 2 , TiO 2 , SnO 2 and WO 3 powders are More than one metal oxide M1; and more than one metal M2 among Mo, Ti, Cr, W and Cu are weighed and mixed.

具體地,上述原料粉末包含95.0重量百分比至99.0重量百分比的氧化鉬和金屬氧化物M1;1.0重量百分比至5.0重量百分比的金屬M2,上述氧化鉬和上述金屬氧化物M1的混合比例可以為75:25至90:10重量比。在此情況下,在氧化鉬粉末中,MoO 2的比例可以為50重量百分比~90重量百分比。 Specifically, the above-mentioned raw material powder contains 95.0% by weight to 99.0% by weight of molybdenum oxide and metal oxide M1; 1.0% by weight to 5.0% by weight of metal M2, and the mixing ratio of the above-mentioned molybdenum oxide and the above-mentioned metal oxide M1 can be 75: 25 to 90:10 weight ratio. In this case, in the molybdenum oxide powder, the ratio of MoO 2 may be 50% by weight to 90% by weight.

根據一具體例,在上述第一步驟中,稱量氧化鉬和金屬氧化物M1,以使得(MoO 2+MoO 3+M1)/(MoO 2+MoO 3)重量百分比的比例變為1.03%至1.30%。 According to a specific example, in the above-mentioned first step, the molybdenum oxide and the metal oxide M1 are weighed so that the weight percent ratio of (MoO 2 +MoO 3 +M1 )/(MoO 2 +MoO 3 ) becomes 1.03% to 1.30%.

接著,向混合的原料粉末添加金屬粉末M2,稱量上述金屬粉末M2,以使得上述金屬粉末M2的(MoO 2+MoO 3+M1+M2)/(MoO 2+MoO 3+M1)重量百分比的比例變為1.03%至1.3%。其中,MoO 2的含量和MoO 3的含量在分子和分母中分別相同。對於混合的粉末可利用氧化鋯球執行乾式球磨製程。 Next, metal powder M2 is added to the mixed raw material powder, and the metal powder M2 is weighed so that the ratio of (MoO 2 +MoO 3 +M1+M2)/(MoO 2 +MoO 3 +M1) weight percentage of the above metal powder M2 becomes 1.03% to 1.3%. Wherein, the content of MoO 2 and the content of MoO 3 are the same in the numerator and denominator respectively. For mixed powders a dry ball milling process can be performed using zirconia balls.

氧化鋯球可被稱量為粉末量的1倍~3倍,球磨能夠以100rpm~300rpm的速度執行7小時~9小時。完成乾式球磨後,可藉由過篩完成粉末混合。Zirconia balls can be weighed as 1 to 3 times the amount of powder, and ball milling can be performed at a speed of 100rpm to 300rpm for 7 hours to 9 hours. After dry ball milling, powder mixing can be done by sieving.

隨後,在第二步驟中,為了燒結混合粉末,可向碳模具內部和下部沖床纏繞0.1mm~0.5mm的碳片並裝入100g~300g的混合粉末。裝入粉末後,覆蓋碳片並設置上部沖床。Then, in the second step, in order to sinter the mixed powder, a carbon sheet of 0.1mm˜0.5mm may be wound inside the carbon mold and the lower punch and charged with 100g˜300g of the mixed powder. After loading the powder, cover the carbon sheet and set up the upper punch.

若藉由如上所述的過程完成燒結模具的準備,則可向熱壓機裝入燒結模具來執行燒結過程。燒結時,升溫速度為2℃~10℃/分鐘,最高熱處理溫度為700℃至900℃,可維持1小時至3小時。在升溫及維持溫度的過程中,壓力可維持在20Mpa~50Mpa。If the preparation of the sintering mold is completed through the process as described above, the sintering mold can be loaded into the hot press to perform the sintering process. During sintering, the heating rate is 2°C to 10°C/min, the maximum heat treatment temperature is 700°C to 900°C, and can be maintained for 1 hour to 3 hours. In the process of heating up and maintaining the temperature, the pressure can be maintained at 20Mpa~50Mpa.

然後,在第三步驟中,取出完成燒結的燒結體進行加工。具體地,取出燒結體後,取出靶材上下部的碳片後,對靶材的表面進行研磨加工。為了去除碳片,可分別在上下部加工1mm以上。Then, in the third step, the sintered body that has been sintered is taken out for processing. Specifically, after taking out the sintered body and taking out the carbon pieces at the upper and lower parts of the target, the surface of the target is ground. In order to remove carbon flakes, it is possible to process more than 1mm on the upper and lower parts respectively.

接著,在第四步驟中,向墊板焊接經加工的燒結體。Next, in the fourth step, the processed sintered body is welded to a backing plate.

較佳地,可使用銦作為黏結劑,使得焊接率達到95%以上。Preferably, indium can be used as a binder, so that the welding rate can reach more than 95%.

可藉由上述過程製造金屬氧化物靶材。較佳地,所製造的靶材的目標密度為95%以上,具體為97.5%以上。A metal oxide target can be manufactured through the above process. Preferably, the target density of the manufactured target is above 95%, specifically above 97.5%.

氧化物薄膜oxide film

在本發明的另一例中,金屬氧化物薄膜由上述氧化鉬基靶材蒸鍍而成。可將上述燒結體用作靶材執行濺鍍來形成上述金屬氧化物薄膜。In another example of the present invention, the metal oxide thin film is vapor-deposited from the above-mentioned molybdenum oxide-based target. The above-mentioned metal oxide thin film may be formed by performing sputtering using the above-mentioned sintered body as a target.

上述氧化物薄膜的成分可隨著蒸鍍氣體產生細微變化,上述氧化物靶材藉由濺鍍製造而成,因此,實際組成成分與上述靶材相同。由此,可形成相對密度大於95%且具備高密度特性及1×10 -2Ωcm以下的優秀電阻特性的氧化物薄膜。並且,可藉由向作為主要材料的氧化鉬添加規定範圍的特定金屬氧化物和金屬,實現氧化鉬比例及成分最佳化來提高耐化學性及耐熱性。 The composition of the above-mentioned oxide thin film can change slightly with the evaporation gas, and the above-mentioned oxide target is manufactured by sputtering, so the actual composition is the same as that of the above-mentioned target. As a result, an oxide thin film having a relative density greater than 95% and having high density characteristics and excellent resistance characteristics of 1×10 -2 Ωcm or less can be formed. In addition, chemical resistance and heat resistance can be improved by adding specific metal oxides and metals within a specified range to molybdenum oxide as the main material to optimize the ratio and composition of molybdenum oxide.

根據一具體例,在以350℃的溫度條件熱處理30分鐘以上後,上述氧化物薄膜的光反射率變化率△R可以為30%以下,具體為20%以下,更具體地,可以為15%以下,藉由以下式1計算: 式1: 光反射率變化率(△R,%)=(R 2-R 1)/R 1×100 在上述式1中, R 1為熱處理前的薄膜在550nm波長處的光反射率, R 2為熱處理後的薄膜在550nm波長處的光反射率。 According to a specific example, after heat treatment at 350°C for more than 30 minutes, the light reflectance change rate ΔR of the above-mentioned oxide film may be 30% or less, specifically 20% or less, more specifically, 15% Below, it is calculated by the following formula 1: Formula 1: Light reflectance change rate (△R, %)=(R 2 -R 1 )/R 1 ×100 In the above formula 1, R 1 is the temperature of the film before heat treatment The light reflectance at the wavelength of 550nm, R2 is the light reflectance of the heat-treated film at the wavelength of 550nm.

具體地,在熱處理前,上述氧化物薄膜在550nm波長處的光反射率R 1為10.5%以下,更具體地,可以為10.4%以下。並且,在以350℃的溫度條件熱處理30分鐘以上後,在550nm波長處的光反射率R 2可以為12.5%以下,更具體地,可以為12%以下。在此情況下,光反射率R 1、R 2及光反射率變化率△R的下限值並沒有特別限制。 Specifically, before heat treatment, the light reflectance R 1 of the oxide thin film at a wavelength of 550 nm is 10.5% or less, more specifically, may be 10.4% or less. And, after the heat treatment at 350° C. for 30 minutes or more, the light reflectance R 2 at a wavelength of 550 nm may be 12.5% or less, more specifically, 12% or less. In this case, the lower limit values of the light reflectances R 1 and R 2 and the light reflectance change rate ΔR are not particularly limited.

另一方面,上述光反射率是指以360nm~740nm的平均波長和/或550nm波長為基準測定的,但並不限定於此。On the other hand, the above-mentioned light reflectance is measured based on an average wavelength of 360 nm to 740 nm and/or a wavelength of 550 nm, but is not limited thereto.

本發明的金屬氧化物薄膜可藉由所屬領域中通常使用的濺鍍法蒸鍍而成。在此情況下,可利用直流式濺鍍機(DC Sputter)執行濺鍍。The metal oxide thin film of the present invention can be evaporated by the sputtering method commonly used in the field. In this case, sputtering may be performed using a direct current sputtering machine (DC Sputter).

上述金屬氧化物薄膜可用於薄膜電晶體(TFT)的閘極層、源極層及汲極層中的至少一個。並且,上述薄膜電晶體可用於有機發光二極體電視(OLED TV)、便攜式手機、平板電腦等顯示裝置。The above metal oxide film can be used for at least one of the gate layer, the source layer and the drain layer of the thin film transistor (TFT). Moreover, the above-mentioned thin film transistor can be used in display devices such as organic light-emitting diode televisions (OLED TVs), portable mobile phones, and tablet computers.

作為具體例,本發明實施例的金屬氧化物薄膜可用於閘極層下部的低反射層。具有上述用途的薄膜不僅降低基板的反射率,而且提高閘電極的黏結性。As a specific example, the metal oxide thin film of the embodiment of the present invention can be used for the low reflection layer under the gate layer. The thin film with the above purpose not only reduces the reflectivity of the substrate, but also improves the adhesion of the gate electrode.

其中,基板可以為通常用於顯示裝置製程中的多種基板的一個,例如,玻璃板、金屬板、塑膠板、塑膠膜等。具體地,基板可以為用於有機發光二極體電視、便攜式手機或平板電腦的透明前面板。另一方面,閘電極可由銅、銀等普通電極物質製成。Wherein, the substrate may be one of various substrates commonly used in display device manufacturing processes, such as glass plates, metal plates, plastic plates, plastic films, and the like. Specifically, the substrate may be a transparent front panel for an organic light emitting diode television, a portable mobile phone or a tablet computer. On the other hand, the gate electrode can be made of common electrode materials such as copper and silver.

薄膜蒸鍍可藉由將直流式濺鍍機的功率密度(Power density)設為1.0w/cm 2~2.0w/cm 2並在氬氣(Ar Gas)氣體中的常溫條件下執行。此時,金屬氧化物薄膜的厚度可以為300Å至500Å,但並不限定於此。並且,可在金屬氧化物薄膜上方蒸鍍銅(Cu)薄膜。在此情況下,銅薄膜可被蒸鍍為3000Å至6000Å的厚度。 Thin film evaporation can be carried out by setting the power density (Power density) of the DC sputtering machine to 1.0w/cm 2 -2.0w/cm 2 and performing it under normal temperature conditions in argon (Ar Gas) gas. At this time, the thickness of the metal oxide thin film may be 300Å to 500Å, but is not limited thereto. Also, a copper (Cu) thin film may be vapor-deposited over the metal oxide thin film. In this case, the copper thin film can be evaporated to a thickness of 3000Å to 6000Å.

另一方面,反射率的測定可藉由所屬領域的已知方法執行。作為一例,可在形成金屬氧化物薄膜的基板面進行測定,測定在360nm~740nm的平均波長和/或550nm波長處的光反射率。在此情況下,光反射率為10.5%以下。On the other hand, the measurement of reflectance can be performed by known methods in the art. As an example, the measurement may be performed on the substrate surface on which the metal oxide thin film is formed, and the light reflectance at an average wavelength of 360 nm to 740 nm and/or at a wavelength of 550 nm may be measured. In this case, the light reflectance is 10.5% or less.

本發明實施例的金屬氧化物薄膜具有優秀的耐熱性、耐化學性。雖然,耐熱性、耐化學性評估可藉由如下方式執行,但並不限定於此。The metal oxide thin film of the embodiment of the present invention has excellent heat resistance and chemical resistance. Although the evaluation of heat resistance and chemical resistance can be performed in the following manner, it is not limited thereto.

為了評估耐熱性,可使用將以上述方式蒸鍍的薄膜在200℃~400℃的環境中熱處理30分鐘以上的方法。通常,熱處理可在真空熱處理爐和/或氫氣熱處理爐中執行。熱處理後,可藉由觀察薄膜的特性變化來評估耐熱性。作為耐熱性指標的一例,熱處理後的反射率R 2與熱處理前的反射率R 1之差(R 2-R 1)大致為1.5%以下,具體地,可以為1.2%以下。並且,也可基於藉由上述式1計算的反射率變化率△R進行評估。 In order to evaluate the heat resistance, a method of heat-treating the thin film deposited as described above in an environment of 200° C. to 400° C. for 30 minutes or more can be used. Typically, heat treatment can be performed in a vacuum heat treatment furnace and/or a hydrogen heat treatment furnace. After heat treatment, heat resistance can be evaluated by observing the change in properties of the film. As an example of the heat resistance index, the difference (R 2 −R 1 ) between the reflectance R 2 after the heat treatment and the reflectance R 1 before the heat treatment is approximately 1.5% or less, specifically, 1.2% or less. In addition, the evaluation may be performed based on the reflectance change rate ΔR calculated by the above-mentioned Equation 1.

並且,為了評估耐化學性,可使用光微影法在所形成的薄膜上形成微圖案並觀察形成的微圖案的截面。具體地,在上述本發明的由金屬氧化物和銅兩層形成的薄膜上塗敷1μm~2μm厚度的光阻(Positive PR Strip)後,在60℃~80℃溫度條件下烘烤(Backing)0.5小時~2小時來固化光阻。隨後,對準遮罩(PRMask)進行曝光來形成具有規定線寬的圖案。可對這種圖案進行蝕刻(etching)來形成由金屬氧化物和銅組成的兩層微圖案。在以上述方式形成有微圖案的基板去除光阻後,可用FIB-SEM觀察微圖案中的金屬氧化物的截面。由此,即使在蝕刻後,本發明的薄膜也不會產生殘渣,因此,可評估耐化學性。Also, in order to evaluate chemical resistance, a micropattern may be formed on the formed thin film using photolithography and a cross section of the formed micropattern may be observed. Specifically, after coating a photoresist (Positive PR Strip) with a thickness of 1 μm to 2 μm on the above-mentioned thin film formed of two layers of metal oxide and copper of the present invention, bake (Backing) at a temperature of 60°C to 80°C for 0.5 hours ~2 hours to cure the photoresist. Subsequently, an alignment mask (PRMask) is exposed to form a pattern with a predetermined line width. This pattern can be etched to form a two-layer micropattern composed of metal oxide and copper. After the photoresist is removed from the substrate formed with the micropattern in the above manner, the cross section of the metal oxide in the micropattern can be observed with FIB-SEM. Thereby, even after etching, the thin film of the present invention does not generate residue, and therefore, chemical resistance can be evaluated.

表1   成分 金屬(M2) MoO 2/ MoO 3 (MoO 2+MoO 3+M1+M2)/(MoO 2+MoO 3+M1) 燒結密度(%) 電阻率(Ωcm) 實施例1 MoO 2+MoO 3+Nb 2O 5+Mo Mo 6.8 1.05 97.6 1.15×10 -3 實施例2 MoO 2+MoO 3+Nb 2O 5+Mo Mo 6.6 1.08 97.8 1.2×10 -3 實施例3 MoO 2+MoO 3+Nb 2O 5+Mo Mo 6.5 1.18 99.9 1.07×10 -3 比較例1 MoO 2+MoO 3+Nb 2O 5 - 6.5 1 96.1 1.27×10 -3 Table 1 Element Metal (M2) MoO2 / MoO3 (MoO 2 +MoO 3 +M1+M2)/(MoO 2 +MoO 3 +M1) Sintered density (%) Resistivity (Ωcm) Example 1 MoO 2 +MoO 3 +Nb 2 O 5 +Mo Mo 6.8 1.05 97.6 1.15×10 -3 Example 2 MoO 2 +MoO 3 +Nb 2 O 5 +Mo Mo 6.6 1.08 97.8 1.2×10 -3 Example 3 MoO 2 +MoO 3 +Nb 2 O 5 +Mo Mo 6.5 1.18 99.9 1.07×10 -3 Comparative example 1 MoO 2 +MoO 3 +Nb 2 O 5 - 6.5 1 96.1 1.27×10 -3

如以上表1所示,在實施例和比較例中,電阻率均為基準值1×10 -2Ωcm以下,而目標密度均為95%以上。然而,在目標密度的層面上,可確認到實施例1至實施例3優於比較例1,電阻率也低於比較例1。由此可知,當蒸鍍薄膜時,目標密度相對較高的實施例1至實施例3在電漿形成方面更加穩定。 As shown in Table 1 above, in both Examples and Comparative Examples, the resistivity was below the reference value of 1×10 -2 Ωcm, and the target density was above 95%. However, it was confirmed that Examples 1 to 3 are superior to Comparative Example 1 in terms of the target density, and the resistivity is also lower than that of Comparative Example 1. It can be seen from this that, when evaporating thin films, Examples 1 to 3 with relatively higher target densities are more stable in terms of plasma formation.

實驗例2:薄膜的物性評估Experimental example 2: Physical property evaluation of thin film

將實施例1至實施例3及比較例1所製備的燒結體用作靶材形成薄膜後,可藉由以下方式評估薄膜的耐熱性。After using the sintered bodies prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1 as targets to form films, the heat resistance of the films can be evaluated in the following manner.

具體地,利用各個燒結體製備用作閘極層下部的低反射層的薄膜。這種薄膜用於提高低反射及閘電極在基板(玻璃)上的黏結性。Specifically, each sintered body was used to prepare a thin film used as a low reflection layer under the gate layer. This film is used to improve the low reflection and adhesion of the gate electrode on the substrate (glass).

低反射薄膜藉由利用直流式濺鍍機以0.5w/cm 2~3.6w/cm 2的功率密度(Power density)在氬氣氣體下向透明玻璃基板蒸鍍包含實施例1至實施例3及比較例1的燒結體的靶材來形成薄膜,蒸鍍的薄膜厚度為350Å。 The low-reflection film is vapor-deposited on the transparent glass substrate under argon gas with a DC sputtering machine at a power density of 0.5w/cm 2 to 3.6w/cm 2 , including Examples 1 to 3 and The target material of the sintered body of Comparative Example 1 was used to form a thin film, and the thickness of the evaporated film was 350Å.

隨後,在上述薄膜上形成電極。電極藉由銅靶材利用直流式濺鍍機以0.5w/cm 2~3.6w/cm 2的功率密度(Power density)在氬氣氣體下形成,薄膜厚度為6000Å。 Subsequently, electrodes were formed on the above thin film. The electrode is formed under argon gas with a DC sputtering machine using a copper target at a power density of 0.5w/cm 2 to 3.6w/cm 2 , and the film thickness is 6000Å.

在這種狀態下,在玻璃基板面測定薄膜的初始反射率後,在真空熱處理爐以350℃的溫度熱處理30分鐘以上後,再次測定反射率來比較兩個反射率。在此情況下,基於在360nm~740nm的平均波長和/或550nm波長處的反射率數值計算反射率,其結果如以下表2所示。In this state, after measuring the initial reflectance of the film on the surface of the glass substrate, heat treatment in a vacuum heat treatment furnace at 350° C. for 30 minutes or more, and then measuring the reflectance again to compare the two reflectances. In this case, the reflectance was calculated based on the average wavelength of 360 nm to 740 nm and/or the reflectance value at a wavelength of 550 nm, the results of which are shown in Table 2 below.

表2   低反射/Cu薄膜反射率(熱處理前)360nm~740nm平均基準(550nm) 低反射/Cu薄膜反射率(熱處理後)360nm~740nm平均基準(550nm) 反射率變化率(%) 實施例1 10.25% 11.15% 8.78 實施例2 10.35% 11.3% 9.18 實施例3 9.53% 10.3% 8.08 比較例1 9.19% 12.9% 40.36 Table 2 Low reflection/Cu film reflectance (before heat treatment) 360nm~740nm average benchmark (550nm) Low reflection/Cu film reflectance (after heat treatment) 360nm~740nm average reference (550nm) Change rate of reflectance (%) Example 1 10.25% 11.15% 8.78 Example 2 10.35% 11.3% 9.18 Example 3 9.53% 10.3% 8.08 Comparative example 1 9.19% 12.9% 40.36

如以上表2所示,雖然比較例1的初始反射率相對優秀,但是,經熱處理後,其反射率會大幅增加。As shown in Table 2 above, although the initial reflectance of Comparative Example 1 is relatively excellent, its reflectance will increase significantly after heat treatment.

與此相比,實施例1~實施例3的初始反射率均優秀,熱處理後的反射率變化也不大。尤其,在實施例的情況下,在氫熱處理爐中以350℃的溫度熱處理30分鐘以上後,反射率與初始反射率之間的變化在10%以內,由此可知,相比於比較例,具有更加優秀的薄膜特性。In contrast, Examples 1 to 3 have excellent initial reflectance, and the change in reflectance after heat treatment is not large. In particular, in the case of the examples, after heat treatment at a temperature of 350° C. for more than 30 minutes in a hydrogen heat treatment furnace, the change between the reflectance and the initial reflectance is within 10%, which shows that compared with the comparative examples, Has more excellent film properties.
