配線形成裝置、維修方法及配線形成方法 Wiring forming device, maintenance method, and wiring forming method

本發明,係有關於配線形成裝置、維修方法及配線形成方法。更詳細而言,係有關於能夠進行細微之圖案的形成,並且能夠使用在對於被形成在液晶顯示器等之平面面板顯示器的基板上之配線等的修復中之配線形成裝置、該配線形成裝置之維修方法及配線形成方法。 The present invention relates to a wiring forming apparatus, a maintenance method, and a wiring forming method. More specifically, it is possible to use a wiring forming device for repairing wiring or the like on a substrate formed on a substrate of a flat panel display such as a liquid crystal display, and a wiring forming device. Maintenance method and wiring formation method.

近年來,伴隨著液晶顯示器、電漿顯示器以及有機EL顯示器等之平面面板顯示器的大型化和高精細化,被形成在半導體基板等之基板上的配線和電極等之圖案的細微化係日益進展。而,伴隨著圖案之細微化,在配線等或電漿顯示器之隔牆(rib)等處所產生的缺陷係成為問題。作為此種缺陷,例如,在配線的情況時,係存在有圖案之一部分有所缺損並導致斷線之開路缺陷等。因此,係對於能夠抑制此種缺陷之發生並提高製造良率的電極和配線等之形成技術的提昇有所要求。並且,亦對於在發生有缺陷的情況時而能夠將其作修復之修復技術有所要求。 In recent years, with the increase in size and definition of flat panel displays such as liquid crystal displays, plasma displays, and organic EL displays, the miniaturization of patterns such as wirings and electrodes formed on substrates such as semiconductor substrates is progressing. . However, with the miniaturization of the pattern, defects such as wiring or the like of a rib or the like of the plasma display are a problem. As such a defect, for example, in the case of wiring, there is a defect in one of the patterns, an open defect in the disconnection, and the like. Therefore, there is a demand for improvement in the formation technique of electrodes, wiring, and the like which can suppress the occurrence of such defects and improve the manufacturing yield. Moreover, there is also a need for a repairing technique that can be repaired in the event of a defect.

作為將開路缺陷等作修復之修復技術,係周知有下述之方法:亦即是,在基板上之配線有所斷線的缺陷部分處,將附著於塗布針前端之導電性糊作塗布,並一面使塗布位置在電極之長度方向上橫移一面進行複數次塗布而作修復(例如,參考專利文獻1)。 As a repairing technique for repairing an open defect or the like, there is known a method in which a conductive paste adhering to a tip end of a coating needle is applied to a defect portion where a wiring on a substrate is broken. Further, the coating position is applied by applying a plurality of times while traversing the coating position in the longitudinal direction of the electrode (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

又,係周知有在基板上而進行配線圖案之形成等的噴霧方式之開路修復裝置等的配線形成裝置(例如,參考專利文獻2)。 In addition, a wiring forming device such as a spray type open-circuit repairing device that performs a wiring pattern formation on a substrate is known (for example, refer to Patent Document 2).

[先前技術文獻] [Previous Technical Literature] [專利文獻] [Patent Literature]

[專利文獻1]日本特開2000-299059號公報 [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2000-299059

[專利文獻2]日本特開2007-152219號公報 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2007-152219

然而,在專利文獻1所記載一般之修復方法中,由於係一面在配線之缺陷部分和糊槽之間進行多數次的往返而對於塗布針補充導電性糊,一面進行塗布,因此若是缺陷部分越長,則在修復中所耗費的時間係變得越長。又,由於係將導電性糊塗布為將圓形之塗布部配置為一列的形狀,因此係會有像是發生從配線之寬幅而超出的部份等的情況,要將修復部分控制為所期望之形狀一事係為困難。 However, in the general repair method described in Patent Document 1, since the conductive paste is applied to the coating needle while performing a plurality of round trips between the defective portion of the wiring and the paste tank, the coating portion is coated. Long, the time spent in repairing becomes longer. In addition, since the conductive paste is applied in such a manner that the circular coating portions are arranged in a line, the portion that exceeds the width of the wiring may be formed, and the repaired portion is controlled to be The shape of the desired thing is difficult.

因此,係對於在基板上而進行配線圖案之形成等的噴霧方式之開路修復裝置等的配線形成裝置有所注目。 Therefore, attention has been paid to a wiring forming apparatus such as a spray type open-circuit repairing device that forms a wiring pattern on a substrate.

噴霧方式之配線形成裝置,例如,係具備有將配線形成用之糊狀材料霧化為霧狀之霧化裝置、和將藉由霧化裝置而霧化了的糊狀材料朝向基板上之缺陷部分而噴射之噴嘴、和將霧化裝置和噴嘴作連接之通連管,而構成之,並使用霧化了的糊狀材料,來以將基板上之缺陷部分作修復的方式而進行配線圖案之形成。 The wiring forming apparatus of the spray method includes, for example, an atomizing device that atomizes the paste-like material for forming a mist into a mist, and a defect that the paste-like material atomized by the atomizing device faces the substrate a partially sprayed nozzle and a communication tube connecting the atomizing device and the nozzle, and using the atomized paste material to perform wiring pattern repairing the defective portion on the substrate Formation.

在此種噴霧方式之配線形成裝置中,由於係能夠一面補充糊狀材料一面進行噴射,因此相較於使塗布針在基板上之缺陷部分和糊槽之間而進行多數次之往返的專利文獻1等之中所記載之修復方法,係能夠將缺陷部分迅速地修復。 In the wiring forming apparatus of such a spray method, since it is possible to perform the ejection while replenishing the paste material, the patent document is often reciprocated as compared with the defect portion of the coating needle on the substrate and the paste tank. The repair method described in the first paragraph can quickly repair the defective portion.

然而,在先前技術之噴霧方式的配線形成裝置中,會有在將霧化裝置和噴嘴作連接之通連管內而附著有糊狀材料之霧,而在通連管內所積蓄之霧成為結露並於噴嘴中流動的情形。其結果,在先前技術之噴霧方式的配線形成裝置中,係會有噴嘴處之噴射成為不安定或者是通連管內之結露流動並堵塞塗布噴嘴的情況。 However, in the wiring forming apparatus of the prior art spraying method, there is a mist in which a paste material is adhered in a connecting pipe connecting the atomizing device and the nozzle, and the mist accumulated in the connecting pipe becomes Condensation and flow in the nozzle. As a result, in the wiring forming apparatus of the prior art spraying method, there is a case where the ejection at the nozzle becomes unstable or the dew condensation flow in the communication tube and the coating nozzle is blocked.

若是噴嘴處之噴射成為不安定,則係成為無法進行安定之配線圖案之形成。進而,若是噴嘴堵塞,則無法進行配線圖案之形成。因此,在先前技術之噴霧方式的配線形成裝置中,係為了抑制上述一般之結露或者是結 露朝向噴嘴流動的情況,而需要頻繁地進行通連管之交換。其結果,配線形成裝置之稼動時間係變短,而會有使生產性降低的情況。 If the ejection at the nozzle is unstable, the wiring pattern that cannot be stabilized is formed. Further, if the nozzle is clogged, the formation of the wiring pattern cannot be performed. Therefore, in the wiring forming apparatus of the prior art spray method, in order to suppress the above-mentioned general condensation or knot The flow is directed toward the nozzle, and the exchange of the communication tubes is required frequently. As a result, the timing of the wiring forming device is shortened, and the productivity is lowered.

因此,係對於抑制在將霧化裝置與噴嘴之間作連接的通連管內之結露並抑制結露流動至噴嘴處的情況而能夠安定地形成配線圖案之配線形成技術有所要求。 Therefore, there is a demand for a wiring forming technique capable of stably forming a wiring pattern by suppressing condensation in a connecting pipe that connects the atomizing device and the nozzle and suppressing condensation from flowing to the nozzle.

本發明,係為有鑑於此種問題而進行者。 The present invention has been made in view of such problems.

亦即是,本發明之目的,係在於提供一種能夠安定地形成配線圖案之配線形成裝置。 That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a wiring forming apparatus capable of stably forming a wiring pattern.

又,本發明之目的,係在於提供一種以能夠安定地形成配線圖案的方式而對於配線形成裝置進行維修之維修方法。 Moreover, an object of the present invention is to provide a maintenance method for repairing a wiring forming apparatus in such a manner that a wiring pattern can be stably formed.
