光阻剥离方法及光阻剥离装置 技术领域
本发明涉及平板显示器加工领域,尤其涉及一种光阻剥离方法及光阻 剥离装置。 背景技术
随着科技蓬勃发展,显示器从早期的阴极射线管 ( Cathode Ray Tude, CRT )显示器发展到现在的液晶显示器 ( Liquid Crystal Display, LCD )与有 机电激发光显示器 ( organic light emitting display, OLED \
液晶显示器具有机身薄、 省电、 无辐射等众多优点,得到了广泛的应 用。 现有巿场上的液晶显示器大部分为背光型液晶显示器,其包括液晶显 示面板及背光模组 ( backlight module \ 液晶面板的生产主要包括: "前段 Array制程"、 "中段 Cell制程"、 及 "后段模组组装"三个工艺。 其中,前 段 Array制程是在玻璃基板上形成前期设计好的 ITO(Indium tin oxide ,铟 锡氧化物)电极图形;中段 Cell制程是将 TFT (薄膜晶体管 )基板与 CF (彩 色滤光片)基板贴合,并在两者之间注入液晶材料,形成液晶基板;后段 模组组装是将液晶基板的驱动 IC压合与印刷电路板的整合。 M Array制 程主要包括 "成膜"、 "光刻"、 "蚀刻" 及 "光阻层剥离" 四大步骤。 其中, 光阻层剥离步骤一般是使用专门的剥离设备及剥离液对蚀刻完毕后剩下的 光阻层 (光刻胶)进行去除。
有机电激发光显示器具有自发光、 高亮度、 高对比、 宽视角、 驱动电 压低与高速响应等优点,为目前新世代显示器中被寄予厚望的平板显示器。 常见的 OLED结构为:基板、 置于基板上的 ITO透明阳极、 置于 ITO透明 阳极上的空穴注入层、 置于空穴注入层上的空穴传输层( HTL 置于空穴 传输层上的发光层( EML )、 置于发光层上的电子传输层 (ETL)、 置于电子 传输层上的电子注入层 ( EIL )以及置于电子注入层上的阴极。在 OLED的 制程中,光阻剥离是在半导体或显示器的黄光微影工艺的最后一个步骤, 就是将上道蚀刻步骤中保护图案的光阻去除,避免光阻残留污染下一道黄 光微影工艺,以获得干净的有线路图案的基板。 如果有光阻残留于显示面 板表面,特别是在 ITO阳极发光区,会阻挡后续有机发光层与阴极材料的 蒸镀,使得显示面板产生暗点, P i氏显示品质与工艺合格率。 另外,由于 后续工艺所蒸镀的有机电子发光膜厚度非常薄,由于光阻残留造成的厚度 不均,易造成电场分布不均,甚至组件短路,进而影响显示器的寿命。 由 此可见,光阻剥离步骤的剥离效果对 OLED的制程起着非常重要的影响。 当用于液晶显示器或 OLED的基板设有铝层或 IGZO层时,影响其光 阻剥离步骤的剥离效果的一个问题是:在光阻剥离液与水接触时反应生成 强碱物质,会造成对铝膜或 IGZO (氧化铟镓锌 )的腐蚀,使得生产的液晶 显示器与有机电激发光显示器在点亮后产生肉眼可见斜条状水纹 Mum ,影 响平板显示器的质量。 发明内容

Ρ余基板表面残留的光阻剥离液,以达到去除光阻的目的;通过在剥离槽与 第一水洗槽之间设置第二缓冲区,在第二缓冲区中设置数个风刀,以移除 基板表面残留的光阻剥离液,最大限度的减少在水洗槽中与水接触的光阻 剥离液量;在第二缓冲区中还设置一防药液喷溅保护罩,防止剥离槽的光 阻剥离液侵入第一水洗槽;同时通过提高传输单元对基板的传送速度,可 以使基板快速脱离碱性环境;通过调节排气压力使水洗槽的排气压力小于 剥离槽的排气压力,可以防止光阻剥离液挥发至水洗槽导致生成强碱物质; 通过上述技术手段减少光阻剥离时铝腐蚀及 IGZO腐蚀的发生 ,提高平板显 示器的质量,同时该光阻剥离方法工序简单,易于操作。 所述光阻剥离装 置结构简单,提高所生产的平板显示器的质量, P i氏了生产成本。
以上所述,对于本领域的普通技术人员来说,可以根据本发明的技术 方案和技术构思作出其他各种相应的改变和变形,而所有这些改变和变形 都应属于本发明权利要求的保护范围。
