Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of liquid crystal panel etching, and in particular relates to a liquid crystal panel etching liquid and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the current LCD panel production process, with the large size, high resolution and driving frequency requirements of LCD display terminals such as TVs, it is urgent to solve the resistance / capacitance time delay problem in the TFT array substrate. Since copper wires have lower resistivity and good anti-electromigration ability than aluminum wires, most of the metal wires in the TFT array process are copper wires. For the copper wire process, the etching solutions with two-layer metal structures such as Cu / Mo, Cu / Ti, Cu / MTD, and Cu / MoNb have been used for mass production in the industry.

[0003] In the common Cu / MTD alloy etching, CD is required to be small and metal taper angle is required to be large. Etching liquid is mainly divided into two categories. One is Korean etching liquid, which has high H2O2 content and low pH, and belongs to fluorine-containing etching liquid system. This system has a short service life, and the maximum copper load is 4000-5000ppm. In addition, fluorine-containing etching liquid is prone to chamfer interface opening problems on the MTD layer at low pH. Fluorine is corrosive to the underlying oxide layer IGZO, affecting the electrical properties of the panel, and the disposal of fluorine-containing waste liquid is not friendly to environmental disposal; the other is a two-dose etching liquid, which has a relatively good copper concentration life and does not contain fluorine, but the Cu layer taper angle is small, and the CD size is generally large, which cannot meet the requirements of panels with smaller dimensional accuracy.

[0004] CN118516673A discloses a MTD-Cu-MTD etching solution and etching method, wherein the etching solution is composed of 2-8% hydrogen peroxide, 4-10% organic acid, 3-8% pH regulator, 0.5-3% stabilizer, 0.02-1.0% inorganic acid, 0.01-0.5% metal corrosion inhibitor, 1-5% complexing agent, and the balance is water. The invention provides a fluorine-free, environmentally friendly etching solution without top metal protrusion (Tip), bottom metal tailing (Tail) and other phenomena, which can effectively and controllably adjust the etching cone angle and CD bias, meet the etching requirements of MTD-Cu-MTD structures of different thicknesses for panels, realize efficient use of liquid medicine, and reduce etching costs.

[0005] CN118685774A discloses a Cu-MTD etching solution for liquid crystal panels and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of copper etching solution, comprising the following components by weight: 5-18% hydrogen peroxide, 0.01-1% stabilizer, 1-12% organic acid, 1-10% organic base, 0.01-2% corrosion inhibitor, and the rest is ultrapure water. The copper etching solution has the advantages of strong compatibility, stable etching efficiency, and good etching effect, and can effectively solve the problems in the prior art.

[0006] CN118241208A discloses an etching solution for MTD and MoNb, wherein the raw materials include 10-25% oxidant, 1-5% chelating agent, 0.01-2% inhibitor, 0.01-5% etchant, 0.05-3% hydrogen peroxide stabilizer, 0.001-2% nitrogen-containing additive, 0.001-1% fluorine compound, and deionized water supplemented to 100%. The invention introduces nitrogen-containing additives and fluorine compounds into the etching solution, and adopts a weight ratio of 1:(0.5-0.7), so that the etching solution can achieve excellent etching effect on Cu, MTD alloy double-layer film and Cu, MoNb alloy double-layer film, avoiding both chamfering of MTD layer and residue of MoNb layer. The etching efficiency is improved, the etching cost is reduced, and the excellent etching effect is guaranteed at the same time.

[0007] However, the above solution does not solve the problem of the small cone angle of the Cu layer in the prior art. Therefore, how to provide an etching solution with good etching effect, no residue, and a large cone angle of the Cu layer has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention
