[0051]

[0052] figure 1 and figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view for describing a method for producing wiring according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0053] refer to figure 1 , a lower conductive pattern 115 and a lower insulating layer 110 may be formed on the substrate 100 .

[0054] The substrate 100 may include a glass substrate, a polymer resin or plastic substrate, an inorganic insulating substrate, and the like.

[0055] The lower conductive pattern 115 may be formed by including, for example, transparent conductive oxides such as aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), and ITO. The lower insulating layer 110 may be formed by including an organic insulating material such as acrylic resin, polysiloxane, etc. and / or an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or the like.

[0056] The lower conductive pattern 115 may, for example, be provided as a conductive v...

experiment example

[0089] Formation of ITO on a glass substrate / Ag / ITO These three layers were cut into a size of 10 cm × 10 cm using a diamond knife to prepare samples.

[0090] The etchant compositions for metal layers prepared in Examples and Comparative Examples were injected into a spray type etching device (ETCHER, manufactured by K.C.Tech Co.). After setting the temperature to 40° C., when the temperature of the etchant composition for a metal layer reached 40±0.1° C., etching treatment was performed for 85 seconds by spraying the etchant composition for a metal layer to the sample.

[0091] After completion of the etching process, the sample was washed with deionized water, dried using a hot air drying device, and then the photoresist was removed using a photoresist stripper (PR stripper).

[0092] (1) Evaluation of overall etching

[0093] The etched samples were visually observed using a scanning electron microscope (SU-8010, manufactured by Hitachi Co.) to determine whether t...

Abstract

An embodiment of the invention provides an etchant composition for etching a metal layer. The etchant composition comprises the components of 62-68wt% of phosphoric acid, 6-8wt% of nitric acid, 4-6wt%of acetic acid, 0.2-1.0wt% of acetate, 0.1-0.3wt% of phosphorous acid, and the balance of water. Through using the etchant composition for etching the metal layer, a conductive pattern with reduced etching defects and fine dimension can be prepared.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an etchant composition for a metal layer and a method for producing a conductive pattern using the same, more particularly, to an etchant composition for a metal layer including an acid component and a method for producing a conductive pattern using the same Methods. Background technique [0002] For example, thin film transistors (TFTs) are used as part of driving circuits in semiconductor devices and display devices. TFTs can be arranged in each pixel on a substrate of, for example, an organic light emitting display (OLED) device or a liquid crystal display device (LCD), and can be connected with, for example, a pixel electrode, a counter electrode, a source electrode, a drain electrode, a data line, a power line, etc. wiring connections. [0003] To prepare electrodes or wirings, a metal layer may be formed on a display substrate, a photoresist may be formed on the metal layer, and then the metal layer may be parti...
