Problems solved by technology

The above process is more complicated and wastes man-hours
At the same time, we also found that during the second exposure process of depositing the half-gray-scale mask layer, there is a secondary alignment deviation between the half-gray-scale mask layer in the template and the data design value

Embodiment 1

[0033] Such as Figure 4 ~ Figure 8 As shown, the manufacturing method of a mask plate provided by the embodiment of the present invention is used for the raw material structure of a substrate layer 401, a grayscale mask layer 402, an etching stopper layer 403, a base material layer 404 and a photoresist layer 405 The production of the mask template (refer to Figure 4 shown), wherein the thickness of the photoresist layer 405 is t0, the mask making method provided in this embodiment can be used to make the mask required for the production of liquid crystal display, specifically can be used for TFT-LCD, OLED or other liquid crystal display The production process of the screen, the production method includes the following steps:

[0034] (a) making the first pattern and the second pattern, using the first pattern 710 to expose the photoresist layer 405 for the first time, so that the thickness of the photoresist layer 405 in the corresponding area is reduced to t1;

[0035] (...

Embodiment 2

[0053] As an alternative to the above, something like Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the second pattern 820 includes the area of ​​the first pattern 810, and the first exposure is an exposure outside the closed area of ​​the first pattern 810, so that the photoresist outside the closed area of ​​the first pattern 810 is thinned to t1 , the second exposure is the exposure outside the closed area of ​​the second pattern 820, so that the thickness outside the closed area of ​​the second pattern 820 is reduced to t2, and the overlap between the closed area of ​​the first pattern 810 and the closed area of ​​the second pattern 820 The thickness t0 of the photoresist remains unchanged, and the energy of the first exposure and the energy of the second exposure can be equal or not, then t2 is less than t1, and t1 is less than t0. Three regions with different thicknesses of t0, t1 and t2 are obtained, and then the region with the thinnest thickness of t2 is developed ...

Abstract

The invention is applicable to the technical field of mask plate manufacture and discloses a manufacturing method of a mask plate, which is used for the manufacture of the mask plate with a substrate layer, a gray-scale mask layer, a basic material layer and a photoresist layer as raw material structures. The manufacturing method comprises the following steps of: a. manufacturing a first graph and a second graph, and carrying out primary exposure on the photoresist layer by adopting the first graph; b. carrying out secondary exposure on the photoresist layer by adopting the second graph; c. removing a photoresist in the thinnest area of the photoresist layer; d. etching the basic material layer and the gray-scale mask layer in the area where the photoresist layer is removed in the step c; e. removing the photoresist in the thinnest area of the residual photoresist layer; and f. etching the basic material layer in the area where the photoresist layer is removed in the step e. In the manufacturing method of the mask plate provided by the invention, two groups of graphs can be directly and continuously used for exposure for two times, thereby the technical problem of large deviation during secondary alignment in the prior art is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mask plate manufacturing, and in particular relates to a mask plate manufacturing method. Background technique [0002] With the development of process technology, in order to improve efficiency and reduce process steps, many TFT-LCD companies currently switch from five photolithography to four photolithography, and reduce from four photolithography to three photolithography. Correspondingly, the mask (MASK) used in the manufacturing process is also converted from the original two masks to use a grayscale mask GTM (Gray Tone Mask) or a half grayscale mask (HTM: Half Tone Mask ). [0003] For example, for the half-gray-scale mask (HTM) used in the manufacture of TFT-LCD and OLED, the data structure of the general TFT (Thin Film Transistor, thin-film transistor) half-gray-scale mask is as follows figure 1 As shown, it includes a gate electrode 501 , a signal line electrode 502 , a source electrode 503 , a...
