Definitions
- the present invention relates to a substrate with an oxide layer and a method for producing the same.
- a transparent conductive film typified by tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) is an essential material for electronic devices such as flat panel displays (FPD) such as liquid crystal display elements (LCD) and plasma display panels (PDP), and solar cells. It has become.
- the general manufacturing method of a transparent conductive film is as follows. First, a transparent conductive film is formed on the substrate using a sputtering method or the like, and then unnecessary portions are removed by patterning. There are various methods for patterning, but photolithography is often used.
- the photolithography method has a potential problem that the number of steps is large. In particular, with the increase in size of the substrate in the FPD, it has become a major factor that deteriorates productivity. In addition, it is difficult to manufacture a large-sized photomask, and a laser patterning method has been studied as a patterning method for a transparent conductive film instead of a photolithography method (see Patent Documents 1 and 2). This is because the laser patterning method has fewer man-hours and the process stability is higher than that of the photolithography method.
- ITO which is widely used for FPD and the like due to low resistance characteristics and the like, has a potential concern of depletion of indium metal resources. Therefore, the development of tin oxide or the like has been promoted as a transparent conductive film that can replace ITO (Patent Document 3). However, since tin oxide has high durability against chemical etching, it is practically difficult to apply a photolithographic method using an acid. Therefore, a laser patterning method has been studied for tin oxide.
- an oxide layer 2 is provided on the glass substrate 1, and laser light is irradiated through the mask to alter the irradiated portion of the object, and then the removal portion 4 is removed by wet etching in the bath,
- a method for obtaining a desired pattern at a location see FIG. 5.
- a metal layer is formed on the upper surface in advance when patterning a dielectric mask in which a dielectric multilayer film having a different refractive index is formed on a synthetic quartz substrate.
- Patent Document 4 A method of simultaneously etching a metal layer and then removing the metal layer is known.
- Patent Document 5 a method of manufacturing an optoelectronic device by performing patterning by a laser ablation method is known.

- the oxygen in the metal layer is preferably 0 to 20 atomic% with respect to all components. When the oxygen content exceeds 20 atomic%, the effect of improving the workability of the oxide during laser patterning becomes small.
- a gas containing oxygen element for example, a mixed gas in which O 2 or CO 2 gas and argon gas are mixed
- a gas containing oxygen element for example, a mixed gas in which O 2 or CO 2 gas and argon gas are mixed
- the thickness of the metal layer is preferably 3 to 100 nm. If it is less than 3 nm, the effect of improving the workability of the oxide during laser patterning becomes small. If it exceeds 100 nm, the effect of improving the workability of the oxide is reduced. On the other hand, when the film thickness is too large, a load is applied to assist layer formation and removal of the assist layer after laser patterning.
- the oxide layer may form two or more layers.
- the structure may be substrate / oxide layer 1 / oxide layer 2 / metal layer, substrate / oxide layer 1 / metal layer / oxide layer 2 / metal layer, or the like.
- the oxide layer exhibiting transparent conductivity is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of indium oxide, tin oxide, zinc oxide, titanium oxide, and aluminum oxide.
- ITO or tin oxide is preferable in terms of transparency, conductivity, durability when removing the metal layer, and the like.
- the oxide layer can be formed using an electron beam evaporation method, a sputtering method, an ion plating method, or the like.
- the sputtering method is preferable in terms of film thickness and film quality uniformity.
- the sputtering gas is preferably a mixed gas of argon and oxygen, and the oxygen gas concentration is preferably 0.2 to 4% by volume.
- the sputtering pressure is suitably from 0.1 to 2 Pa.
- the back pressure is preferably 1 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 to 1 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 2 Pa.
- the substrate temperature is preferably set to room temperature to 300 ° C., particularly 150 to 300 ° C.
- the film thickness of the oxide layer is preferably 10 nm to 1 ⁇ m. If the thickness is less than 10 nm, the function as an oxide layer is not sufficient, and if it exceeds 1 ⁇ m, transparency is impaired, and removal of the assist layer (metal layer) and the oxide layer at the portion irradiated with the pulsed laser light becomes practically difficult.
- a base layer for example, resin
- an underlayer such as a silica film
- the underlayer may be removed at the same time as the oxide layer and the metal layer during laser processing, or may remain without being removed.
- the underlayer is preferably formed using a sputtering method.
- the substrate used in the present invention is not necessarily flat and plate-like, and may be curved or atypical.
- the substrate include a transparent or opaque glass substrate, a ceramic substrate, and a resin film.
- the substrate is preferably transparent. From the viewpoint of strength and durability, a glass substrate is particularly preferable.
- the glass substrate include a colorless and transparent soda lime glass substrate, a quartz glass substrate, a borosilicate glass substrate, and an alkali-free glass substrate.
- the thickness of the substrate is preferably 0.4 to 3 mm from the viewpoint of strength and transmittance.
- the wavelength of the pulsed laser beam that can be used in the present invention is 700 to 1500 nm. This wavelength range is preferable because the interaction between the transparent conductive oxide layer and the pulsed laser beam is particularly large compared to the interaction between the substrate and the pulsed laser beam.
- the wavelength of the pulse laser beam is particularly preferably 1047 to 1064 nm. It is also preferable in that a general-purpose laser processing machine (YAG, YLF, YVO laser, etc.) capable of high output oscillation can be used. In addition, it is preferable to use a type of laser processing machine that can output pulsed light because it is easy to pattern the oxide layer by irradiating the oxide layer with pulsed laser light patterned through a mask. .
- the pulse width of the pulsed laser light is 1 ns to 1 ⁇ s. If the pulse width of the pulsed laser beam is less than 1 ns, it is difficult to use a high-power laser processing machine, and the thermal effect is reduced, making it impossible to form a uniform pattern. Moreover, since the effect of a metal layer reduces, it is not preferable. On the other hand, if the pulse width exceeds 1 ⁇ s, the thermal influence becomes large, the heat-affected layer around the irradiated part cannot be ignored, and a fine pattern cannot be formed. Further, the pulse width is more preferably 10 ns to 100 ns from the viewpoint of workability.
- the removal of the oxide layer and the metal layer by pulsed laser light irradiation is preferably performed in one shot.
- the workability after the second shot is lower than that of the first shot, so that it is not preferable because uniform processing cannot be performed.
- the energy density of the pulsed laser beam is preferably 0.3 to 10 J / cm 2 . If it is less than 0.3 J / cm 2 , the oxide layer in the irradiated portion is not completely removed and the film remains, which is not preferable. If it exceeds 10 J / cm 2 , damage to the substrate cannot be ignored. Moreover, it is preferable that the area of the irradiation part irradiated with one pulse laser beam is 1 mm ⁇ 2 > or more.
- the pulse laser beam is irradiated from the outer surface side where the oxide layer and the metal layer are formed. Irradiation from the side where the oxide layer or metal layer is not formed is not preferable because the pulse laser beam propagates through the substrate, energy loss due to absorption of the substrate increases, and the workability of the oxide layer decreases.
- this invention provides the base
- an electronic device using the oxide layer of the substrate with the oxide layer as an electrode is provided. Specifically, a display panel or a solar cell module is provided.

- the irradiated part irradiated with the laser was observed with an optical microscope, the diameter of the patterned part was measured, and the pattern diameter 5 was evaluated. Since the pulse laser beam has a Gaussian type energy distribution, the pattern diameter 5 becomes larger as the energy of the pulse laser beam is absorbed and removed more easily. Therefore, by evaluating the pattern diameter 5, the laser processing object Workability can be evaluated. In this evaluation, a sample having a pattern diameter 5 of 50 ⁇ m has a minimum energy density of 6.6 J / cm 2 and a pattern diameter 5 of 56 ⁇ m when using a homogenized pulse laser beam.

- non-linear patterning can be arbitrarily performed in accordance with complicated arrangement of pixel electrodes.
- FIG. 6 schematically shows a state of continuous and linear patterning formation.
- a mask is disposed between the laser light source and the workpiece to control and define the gap dimension. That is, laser irradiation is performed so that the laser beam cut by the mask is stamped on the workpiece so as to correspond to a predetermined pattern (see FIG. 1). In this case, since sufficient light source power can be used, the area of the irradiated part irradiated with one pulse laser beam can be set to 1 mm 2 or more.
