Description of the Invention (2) Various etching devices are used to perform these etching methods. Recently, a double plasma etching apparatus' has been provided which has an increased efficiency. This electric double electric money engraving device includes a pair of cathodes' which are placed on an insulator and a bottom surface, and an etching method is performed on an LCD glass substrate placed on each of the cathode electrodes. Referring to Figs. 2 and 3, the conventional electric etching apparatus 30 includes a pair of plate-like cathode electrodes 36 'which are placed on the insulating layer 32 and the bottom surface. In FIGS. 2 and 3, only one cathode electrode 36 is shown. A clip 34 for holding the LCD glass substrate 忉 is placed on the cathode electrode 36. The device 30 also includes an electrode rotating device (not shown) for rotating the cathode electrode 36 and applying radio frequency (RF) power to the cathode electrode%. The size of the cathode electrode 36 is slightly larger than that of the LCD glass substrate 10. Therefore, when the LCD glass substrate ι is placed on the cathode electrode, it is possible to ensure that the clip μ used to lose the edge i〇a of the LCD glass substrate space. The clip 34 is used to fix the LCD glass substrate 10 and space the LCD glass substrate 10 and the cathode electrode 36 at a predetermined interval. The solidification effect of Huozi 34 is formed by forming several penetration holes along the end edge of the cathode electrode 36, and inserting the cylindrical rising rod 34c through the penetration hole, and combining with the protruding outer side of the upper surface of the cathode electrode 36 The rising rod and the supporting frame 34a are provided with a plurality of lost frames 341) for directly pressing the LCD glass substrate 10. At this time, a cathode pressing element 37 for generating a pressing force is required to press the clip 34b tightly against the upper surface of the cathode electrode 36. The cathodic pressure element 37 is, for example, a tension spring 37a, which has a pre-stretched spring force I. The rising rod Me protruding beyond the bottom surface of the cathode electrode 36 is inserted into the tension spring 37 & and the tension spring is fixed so as not to slide away from the rising rod. 5. Description of the invention (3) 3 4c. The support frame 34a placed on the cathode electrode 36 is pulled toward the cathode electrode 36 by the tension spring 37a 'ascending lever 34c. Thereby, the LCD glass substrate placed on the cathode electrode 36 is strongly pressed by the clip% and the support and frame 34a. On the other hand, the LCD glass substrate 10 is separated from the cathode electrode 36 by the clip 34, and a through hole is formed through the LCD glass substrate 10 and the cathode electrode%. A rising bolt (not shown) is inserted into the penetration hole and one end of the rising bolt is coupled to the rising rod 34c. Then, the placement of the ascending bolt is caused by the vertical movement of the ascending lever 34c. Therefore, the LCD glass substrate is separated from the cathode electrode 36 by the clip 34. Due to the existence of the rising rod 34c on this day, the LCD glass substrate 10 is smaller than the area formed by the rising rod 34c of the plurality of cathode electrodes 36, as shown in FIG. As a result, the edge portion of the cathode electrode% not covered with the LCD glass substrate 10 was exposed to the periphery of the plasma during the etching method. In the case where the plasma etching is performed under the condition that the end edge portion of the cathode electrode 36 is exposed, the end portion of the 'cathode electrode 36 is severely damaged. In order to protect the cathode electrode 36 from being damaged by such a condition, the edge portion of the cathode electrode 36 which is expected to be forked is treated to have a segmented structure. <, ',: The cathode electrode of the rear protective cover 38 is fixed to the cathode electrode 3 6 in such a manner that the segmented end portion of the cathode electrode% is protected by the cathode electrode protective cover 38. Referring again to the sectional view of FIG. 3, the maximum difference ΔT between the surface of the cathode electrode protective cover 38 and the cathode electrode 36 is 0.7 mm. In other words, the upper surface of the cathode electrode 4 cover 38 is placed below the cathode electrode% 472320 V. Description of the invention (4) The upper surface is 0.7 mm. When the LCD glass substrate 10 is loaded on the cathode 30, the support frame 34a of the clip 34 is held and moved slowly. When only the frame 34a is supported as described above to move the cathode electrode 30 under the condition that the cathode 30 is fixed, the rising rod 34c and the rising test are moved in relation to the support frame 34a, and a predetermined gap is formed in the support frame 34a. And the cathode electrode 36. At this time ', the LCD glass substrate transferred by the automaton blade is loaded between the cathode electrode 36 and the support frame 34a, and then placed on the rising pin. Thereafter, "while the blades of the robot are removed and the support frame 34a is moved downward", the LCD glass substrate 10 is placed on the cathode electrode 36 and the LCD glass. The substrate 10 is strongly pressurized by the clip 34b of the clip 34. However, when the LCD glass substrate 10 is strongly pressurized with the clip 34, the end edge portion of the LCD glass substrate becomes lower than the height of its center portion, because the cathode protective cover 38 is placed below The cathode electrode 36 is as shown in FIG. 4. Therefore, a force in a direction opposite to the pressing force acting on the edge portion of the LCD glass substrate 10 is generated in the center portion of the LCD glass substrate 10. As a result, the center portion of the LCD glass substrate is separated from the cathode electrode 36 by a predetermined gap. Under the condition that the gap G is generated between the center portion of the LCD glass substrate 10 and the cathode electrode 36, the heat generated during the plasma etching method is not cooled by the cathode electrode 36 and is deposited along the CD panel. The metal pattern is transferred to the edge of the LCD panel formed on the LCD glass substrate 10. As a result, the end portion of the metal pattern is heated to a high temperature. V. Description of the invention (5) 时 When the LCD glass substrate is not completely cooled, more than half of the LCD panel is used, for example, LCD glass substrate 10 to 6 unit LCD panel 8 to 1: (as shown in the fifth solid) The photoresist which is not resistant to the South temperature and is coated on the LCD drum plate is burnt, causing the worst damage to the LCD panel. Parameter 35a in Fig. 5 is a burning photoresist. Summary of the main invention Therefore, the object of the present invention is to prevent the photoresist from being burned by contacting the center portion of the LCD glass substrate with the cathode electrode without any gap formed therebetween, thereby avoiding The cooling efficiency of the cathode-cooled Lcd glass substrate is reduced. Other objects of the present invention will become apparent from the following description. In order to achieve the above and other objectives, the present invention provides a plasma etching device, in which the upper surface of the cathode electrode of the cathode is separated from the lower surface of the [CD glass substrate] to protect the cathode electrode from damage. The upper surface of the cover is fixed higher than the upper surface of the cathode electrode, and the edge portion of the LCD glass substrate is strongly pressed against the L (: D glass substrate, so that the LCD glass substrate does not escape from the cathode electrode. Sliding open, and the gap will not be generated between the LCD glass substrate and the cathode electrode. Figure 1 shows a brief description. Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional TFT. Figure 2 is a perspective view of the cathode of a conventional plasma etching device: Figure 3 The figure is taken from the line AA of Figure 2; Figure 4 shows the concept of the gap formed between the cathode and the center portion of the LCD glass substrate when the LCD glass substrate is improperly fixed by a traditional clip 472320

Description of the invention (s) Under the condition that a relatively large weight of two LCD glass substrates are sandwiched thereon, 'under the condition that the cathode is arranged upward to the direction of gravity, the structure of the cathode 30 will refer to the eighth to tenth. The figure describes it in detail. Fig. 8 is a diffusion perspective view of a cathode according to the present invention. Fig. 9 is a perspective view of a part of the cathode in Fig. 8 being broken. Figure 丨 〇 is a close-up view of part c of Figure 9. Referring to FIG. 8 'the cathode 300 includes an insulator 3 1 0 with a rotating shaft 3 12 interposed therebetween, a pair of cathode electrodes 320 attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the insulator 3] 0, and a cathode electrode protective cover 33. , Which is used to protect the end portion of the cathode electrode 320 from being damaged by the plasma; a pair of [CD glass substrate unclamping device 340 'is used to tightly fix the [CD glass substrate and borrow This protects the LCD glass substrate from sliding out from the cathode electrode 32 ′ and the LCD glass substrate raising device 350 ′, which separates the LCD glass substrate from the cathode electrode 320 at a predetermined height. More specifically, the 'insulator 3 10 has a rectangular block shape. The pairs of upper and lower grooves 3 14 are formed on three sides of the insulator 3 1 0. As shown in FIG. 8, the pair of upper and lower grooves 3 14 are separated from each other at a predetermined interval. As an example, the groove 3 14 has a hexagonal shape. The LCD glass substrate raising device 350 is placed in the groove 314. As shown in FIG. 8 ', the LCD glass substrate rising device 350 includes: a rising rod 352 having a predetermined length; a rising bolt support plate 354 having a rectangular plate opening shape and including a bottom portion 352a of the rising rod 352 to communicate with the rising rod 352 is combined at a right angle; the rising bolt 356 is placed on the rising bolt support plate 354 472320 in such a manner that the rising bolt 356 has the same direction as the replacement of the rising rod 352 472 320 5. The other end of the invention description (9); And tension spring 358, which is placed on the rising rod 352. After the LCD glass substrate raising device 350 is inserted into the groove 314 of the insulator 310, the upper and lower cathode electrodes 320 are individually fixed on the upper and lower surfaces of the insulator 3 10. The cathode electrode 320 has a thick plate shape having a predetermined thickness and a planar area equal to a planar area of the insulator 3-10. The ascending pole coupling hole 322 and the ascending bolt hole 324 are formed at selected portions of the end edges of the cathode electrode 320 corresponding to the ascending pole 352 and the ascending bolt 356 of the LCD glass substrate ascending device 350 inserted into the groove 314. As shown in FIG. 8, the cathode electrode 320 has a segmented structure. The edge portion 326 of the cathode electrode 320 in which the rising rod coupling hole 322 is formed is slightly thinner than the portion in which the rising bolt coupling hole 324 is formed. The cathode electrode 320 is mostly covered by the LCD glass substrate, and therefore, it is not damaged by the plasma. However, the edge portion of the cathode electrode 320 may be severely damaged by the plasma during the plasma method because the edge portion 326 of the cathode electrode 320 is exposed to the plasma. In order to protect the edge portion 326 of the cathode electrode 320 from being damaged, a cathode electrode protective cover 330 having high plasma resistance is placed and combined with the edge portion 3 2 6 of the cathode 300. The cathode electrode protective cover 330 has an angled ring shape and is placed in the segmented end edge portion 326 of the cathode electrode 320. The cathode electrode protection cover 330 includes a riser rod passing through a hole 332 formed at a selected position corresponding to the riser rod 352. Thus, the riser rod 352 above the LCD glass substrate lifting device can protrude outside the cathode electrode protection cover 330. 12 472320 V. Description of the Invention (ίο) It is expected that the cathode electrode protective cover 330 is composed of a ceramic material with high plasma resistance. It is also desirable that the upper surface of the cathode electrode protective cover 330 is slightly higher than the upper surface of the cathode electrode 320. In other words, the cathode electrode protective cover 330 is placed higher than the cathode electrode 320. As a result, the cathode electrode protective cover 330 and the cathode electrode 320 A segmented surface is formed, which will be described later. The LCD glass substrate clamp device 40 is placed on a cathode electrode protective cover 330. The LCD glass substrate clamp device 340 includes: a rectangular ring-shaped support frame 342 formed by making the rod-shaped frame at an angle to have the same size as the LCD glass substrate; and a plurality of lost clamps 345 along the support frame. It is configured to directly clamp the LCD glass substrate 305. At this time, as shown in FIG. 11, the clamp 345 includes: a cylindrical fixing rod 345a fixed to the support frame 342; a circular clamp plate 345b including a hole formed therebetween for inserting the fixing rod 345a; The spring on the fixing rod 345a is used to pressurize the sweet loss plate 3 4 5 b; and the cylindrical clip sweet cover 3 4 5 d is used to cover the spring 345c to protect the fixing rod 345a and the spring 345c from receiving electricity. Damage to pulp. Therefore, when the edge portion of the LCD glass substrate 305 placed on the cathode electrode 320 is pressurized by the D or E portion of the clamp 345 of FIG. 11, the LCD glass substrate 305 is strongly pressurized by the spring 345c to the clamp The nipper 345b is inclined by the elastic force, and the edge portion of the LCD glass substrate 305 placed on the cathode electrode 320 is strongly pressed. At this time, the LCD glass substrate 305 13 472320 with the clamp plate 345b protruding therebetween is loaded.

Description of the invention (12) ′ is because when the clamp 345 of the LCD glass substrate clamping device 340 is strongly pressurized, a gap is formed between the LCD glass substrate 305 and the cathode electrode protective cover 33. More specifically, 'as shown in FIG. 12', when the clamp 345 of the LCD glass substrate clamping device 340 strongly presses the edge portion of the LCD glass substrate 305, the force on the LCD glass substrate 305 by the clamp button 345 Operate in a direction perpendicular to the inclined surface of the clamps 3 4 5. The force carried on the LCD glass substrate 305 can be divided into a forward direction A (νΑ) in the vector and a vector β (νΒ) in the vector. When all the clamps 345 press the end edge of the LCD glass substrate 305 to the direction from the end edge portion to the center portion of the LCD glass substrate 305, the force 1 'vector A (Va), from the end edge portion From the edge part to the center part of the LCD glass substrate 305. Furthermore, because the edge portion of the LCD glass substrate 305 is approximately 0.1 to 0.2 mm higher than the ~~ portion thereof, the LCD glass substrate 305 becomes a concave shape. ,, '. As a result, the center portion of the LCD glass substrate 305 is not spaced from the cathode electrode 32 and no gap is formed therebetween. The first to fourth tables provide data on whether or not the photoresist is burned when the cathode electrode protective cover 33o is formed on the upper surface of the cathode electrode 320 by 0.1 to 0.2mm. In particular, Tables 1 to 4 provide that when the plasma etching method is used on the two negative electrodes, the cathode electrode protective cover is formed higher than the corresponding negative electrode. The cathode electrode protective covering of 0.1 to 0.2 mm and other cathode electrodes is broken to form the result of whether the photoresist burns when the same or lower than the corresponding cathode electrode is applied.

Description of the invention (13) The first table chamber cathode electrode cathode electrode protective cover photoresistance chamber B cathode electrode A is formed 0.1 to 0.2 mm higher than the cathode electrode. Unburned cathode electrode B is formed below the cathode electrode ( (Conventional technique) Burned According to Table 1, when the plasma etching method is performed under the condition that the two cathode electrodes A and B are combined with different cathode electrode protective coverings, the cathode electrode A and the formation are higher than the cathode electrode A0_1 to 0.2. The cathode electrode protection cover of mm is combined; and the cathode electrode B is combined with the cathode electrode protection cover formed lower than the cathode electrode B, the photoresist with the cathode electrode A is not burned, and the photoresist with the cathode electrode B is burned. The second table chamber cathode electrode cathode electrode protective cover photoresistance chamber B cathode electrode A formed lower than cathode electrode A (conventional technique) combustion cathode electrode B formed higher than cathode electrode B 0.1 to 0.2 mm not burned basis Table 2. When the plasma etching method is performed under the conditions that the two cathode electrodes A and B are used in combination with the other cathode electrode protective coverings used in the test of the first table, the cathode electrode A is formed to be lower than the cathode electrode A. The cathode electrode protection cover is combined; and the cathode electrode B is combined with the cathode electrode protection cover which is higher than the cathode electrode BO. 1 to 0.2mm, the photoresist with the cathode electrode A is burned, and the photoresist with the cathode electrode B is burned.

According to Table 3, when the plasma etching method is used on the two cathode electrodes A and B to form a cathode electrode protective cover that is 0.1 to 0.2mm higher than the cathode electrodes A and B. In the next implementation, the photoresist with cathode electrodes A and B will not be burned. Table 4 Cathode Electrode Cathode Electrode Protective Cover Photoresistive Chamber C Cathode A is formed 0.1 to 0.2 mm higher than cathode A unburned Cathode B is formed 0.1 to 0.2 mm higher than cathode B Combustion according to Table 4, when the plasma etching method is performed in chamber C under the condition that the cathode electrodes A and B of chamber C are combined with the cathode electrode protective covering used in chamber B of table 3. The photoresist with the cathode electrodes A and B in the chamber C is not burned. In addition, when 46 LCD glass substrates 305 are plasma-etched in a chamber containing a cathode electrode protective cover that is formed higher than the respective corresponding cathode electrode, the same results as in Tables 1 to 4, that is, unburned light Resistance, was created. 17 472320 V. Description of the invention (15) As shown in Tables 3 and 4, the photoresist is not burned because the cathode electrode and LCD glass substrate 305 are not separated and by forming a cathode 0.1 to 0.2 mm higher than the cathode electrode The electrode protective coverings are in contact with each other, and as a result, the cathode electrode imparts complete cooling efficiency. On the other hand, as shown in Tables 3 and 4, the plasma etching method needs to be performed under conditions in which the cathode electrode and the LCD glass substrate 305 are in contact with each other to prevent the photoresist from being burned. However, when the plasma etching method is performed under this condition, when the LCD glass substrate 305 is lifted by the latch on the LCD glass substrate raising device, the LCD glass substrate 305 is not separated from the cathode electrode, and the LCD glass substrate 305 and the cathode are connected by the LCD glass substrate 305 and the cathode. Strong static electricity between the electrodes bends. In order to remove the static electricity between the LCD glass substrate 305 and the cathode electrode, the vibration amplitude of the RF power supplied to the rotating shaft by the RF power supply device is continuously reduced for at least 1 second or longer, preferably 5 seconds, so that the static electricity is removed. except. In Figure 9, the parameter 307 is the LCD substrate, and the device is formed on the LCD glass substrate. The LCD substrate 307 is any of a TFT substrate on which a thin-film transistor and an ITO electrode are formed, or any one of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) color filters and a color filter substrate on which ordinary electrodes are formed. . After the plasma etching is completed to prevent the photoresist from being burned, the LCD glass substrate 305 is repeatedly subjected to the following processing steps: forming a semiconductor thin film, coating the photoresist film, and exposing the photoresist film to light according to the formed pattern. The exposed photoresist film is developed, and plasma etching is performed. Through the above processing steps, a first glass substrate of the TFT substrate and a second glass substrate of the color filter substrate are prepared. Thereafter, the first and second glass substrates are aligned and bonded to each other. Liquid crystals are filled into the space between the two substrates to form a liquid crystal layer with a thickness of several um. 18 472320 V. Description of the invention (16). The liquid crystal layer is suitable as a dielectric layer of a capacitor having a pixel electrode formed on the surface of a TFT substrate and a general electrode formed on the surface of a color filter substrate. The liquid crystal layer also functions as a light blocker, which passes or blocks the incident light beam. To drive the TFT of the TFT substrate, at least two printed circuit boards (PCBs) are provided. Generally, one of the two printed circuit boards is widely referred to as a source-driven PCB and the other is referred to as a gate-driven PCB. The source PCB provides a grayscale voltage corresponding to the image data input from the outside, and the gate drive PCB provides an on or off voltage to turn on the TFT of the TFT substrate. For the signal transfer between the TFT substrate and the two PCBs, a connection element called a carrier package that provides a drive integrated circuit is provided. By bonding the two PCBs to the TFT substrate with several carrier packages, a liquid crystal display panel is prepared. Finally, a light source supply unit commonly referred to as a back light module is configured to lower the liquid crystal display panel, thereby completing the preparation of the LCD module. As mentioned above, the formation of the gap between the central portion of the LCD glass substrate and the corresponding portion of the cathode electrode can be achieved by forming a cathode electrode protective cover to protect the cathode electrode from the plasma being higher than the cathode electrode. Avoiding this, and thereby, the LCD glass substrate heated to a high temperature by the plasma can be cooled and the photoresistance of the combustion can be reduced by the cathode electrode corresponding to the low temperature. This reduces the failure in preparing the LCD panel. Meanwhile, although the above embodiments show and describe a plasma etching method of a pattern of a semiconductor layer applied in the preparation of an LCD panel, the plasma etching method of the present invention can be used for the preparation of a semiconductor device. For example, when a wafer on which a pattern of a semiconductor device is arranged is formed on a cathode electrode, a flat region of the wafer is clamped, and a plasma #etching method is performed to form a selective pattern 19 472320 V. Description of the Invention (] 7) A cathode electrode with a horizontal uniformity on the upper surface of the upper surface of the cathode electrode is provided along the periphery of the wafer. As before, this -structure brings the wafer into close contact with the cathode electrode, thereby avoiding the photoresist layer as a photomask from being burned during the plasma etching method.
