Definitions
- the invention relates to glass substrates used in the field of electronics and in particular substrates used for the production of flat screens.
- these screens can be display screens (television screens, computer screens, etc.), image sensor screens (cameras, photographic devices, etc.) or solar cells.
- the alkali oxides play an important role in the properties of the batch. They make it possible, in particular, to lower the viscosity at a given temperature and to improve the melting of the mixture. Other constituents are known to have similar properties.
- the batch ob- - 0 run with these components poses many difficulties in implementation; they are generally more expensive than alkaline oxides and are introduced in a non-negligible amount in order to obtain satisfactory properties.
- the batch, ** thus obtained has a relatively higher overall cost than a batch containing alkaline oxides.
- This deposition can be carried out by pyrolysis, CVD, vacuum deposition, etc.
- An object of the invention is to provide a glass substrate which is not capable of contaminating a layer deposited on said substrate, in particular by migration of alkaline ions
- the invention relates to a glass sheet of the soda-lime type, the content of sodium element released after a stay of 24 h in deionized water at 96 ° C is less than or equal to 0.009 ⁇ g / cm 2 .
- the glass sheet 25 according to the invention comprises at least one surface zone almost free of alkaline and alkaline-earth ions.
- the invention also relates to a glass substrate of the soda-lime type intended for the electronic field and of which at least one of the faces carrying functional layers is almost free of alkaline and alkaline earth ions.
- the invention also relates to flat screens comprising in particular such a substrate and a method for the production of this substrate.
- the glasses of the soda-lime contain clin ⁇ Type ment a content of alkali metal oxides and alkaline earth between 23 and 30%, in particular an alkali metal oxide content and in particular an oxide of sodium understood Q between 11 and 15%, these contents being expressed in percentages by weight.
- the substrate according to the invention can be used successfully for the production of products requiring the best performance, such as high definition screens or active matrix screens of the a-Si TFT-LCD type ( amorphous silicon Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display).
- this type of screen consists of glass substrates carrying several superimposed layers, in particular a layer composed of a thin network of transistors. We will see in the following description this type of screens in more detail.
- both the alkaline oxides and the alkaline earth oxides are detrimental to the properties of the supported layers.
- the most mobile ions are mentioned, namely the alkalines and especially sodium; a limitation of the release of sodium from a support almost de ⁇ provided with alkaline and alkaline earth oxides resulting a fortiori a limitation of the release of other alkali and alkaline earth ions.
- the release of sodium ions is typically measured by the content of sodium element released after a 24 hour stay of a glass sheet in deionized water at 96 ° C.
- the glass sheet according to the invention releases, under these conditions at most 0.009 ⁇ g of sodium per cm 2 of deionized surface. This measurement is identical when the glass sheet has previously undergone an annealing simulating the conditions for depositing the functional layers, despite the increased mobility of sodium at high temperature.
- the substrates used in the field of electronics, and in particular for producing flat screens undergo different thermal cycles.
- the conductive or semi-conductive layers are deposited hot.
- the necessary temperature of the support for depositing these layers is of the order of 400 ° C. . It is therefore necessary to limit any possible liberation of sodium, even when the sheet is subjected to such temperatures.
- the low release of sodium, whether or not the glass sheet has undergone a thermal cycle is obtained, according to the invention, by the presence of a qua ⁇ siment surface zone devoid of alkaline and alkaline-earth oxides, opposing effectively to the migration of alkali and alkaline earth ions and, in particular, to the migration of sodium ions.
- the glass sheet has a surface area the content of sodium element of which is less than 500 pp and can even reach a content of less than 50 ppm over a depth of at least 0.02 ⁇ m.
- this depth may prove to be sufficient to prevent the migration of ions in the supported layers, provided that this deionized zone is well uniform.
- the glass sheets according to the invention have a surface zone within which the content of sodium element is less than or equal to 500 ppm over a depth of at least 0.05 ⁇ m and preferably a content as a sodium element less than 50 ppm over at least 0.05 ⁇ m and may even reach 0.1 ⁇ m.
- the glass object is subjected to a solution or an atmosphere reacting with the alkaline ions of the glass. To facilitate the reaction, the operation takes place at a temperature higher than room temperature.
- This type of treatment usually requires a contact time incompatible with the continuous treatment of glass sheets. For this reason, this type of processing is used essentially in the case of batches of objects, for example bottles.
- Another known technique is deionization under the effect of an electric field applied between two electrodes.
- the application of the field mobilizes the most easily displaceable ions, in particular the alkalis, towards the cathode.
- Solid or gas electrodes can be used.

- This test consists in allowing a glass sheet to remain in deionized water at 96 ° C. for 24 hours, the residual sodium content of which is below the resolution limit of the measurement (0.0075 ⁇ g / cm 2 ). At the end of this stay in water, the latter is analyzed. The content of sodium element released by the glass sheet is thus obtained under these conditions simulating accelerated aging.
- the different substrates tested are: two substrates a and b of the soda-lime type having undergone a crown discharge in accordance with the invention. Their initial chemical composition is as follows, the contents being expressed as a percentage by weight:
- Impurities 0.86% The electrodes are placed on either side of the glass sheet.
