Problems solved by technology

In addition, although the resistance value of silver alloys containing more than 80% silver is not as low as that of silver metal, its resistance value is much lower than that of chromium metal.
However, because silver alloys do not have appropriate etchant, they are not widely used in the yellowing process of wafers or panels

Embodiment 1-8

[0053] Mix hydrogen peroxide and nitric acid in the ratio of Table 1 below, and add water to 100 grams to prepare the etching solution with the following concentration. A silicon substrate with a silver alloy thin film is spin-coated, and a photoresist layer is coated on it; wherein the silver alloy thin film is formed on the silicon substrate by a sputtering method, and contains more than 98% silver, 0.9% Palladium and 1.0% copper. Subsequently, the silicon substrate was exposed to light to form a patterned photoresist layer; the silicon substrate was then coated or immersed in the etching solution configured according to Table 1, and the etching rate was measured. The results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0054] Example

[0055] After the etching was completed, the silicon substrate was inspected and the photoresist of the silicon substrate and the pattern was not damaged. Therefore, the etching solution only selectively etches the silver alloy.

Abstract

A silver alloy etching solution comprises 1-60 weight portions of hydrogen peroxide, 1-60 wt. portions of sulfuric acid, nitric acid or organic acid, and 5-90 wt. portions of water. The other silver alloy etching liquid comprises 1-60 weight portions of ammonium, 1-60 weight portions of hydrogen peroxide, and 0-96 portions of water.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an etching solution, especially an etching solution suitable for silver alloys. Background technique [0002] Current flat-panel display devices, especially organic electroluminescent displays, mostly use chromium metal as the wire material. However, because of the high resistance of chromium metal, researchers have been seeking to use metals with lower resistance as the wire material. In the past, it has been proposed to use silver as a wire material for flat-panel display devices, but because there is no suitable and stable etching solution composition, it has not been widely used. [0003] In recent years, in order to improve the performance of flat display devices, researchers are still focusing on how to reduce the resistance value of the wire material. Silver alloy is currently regarded as an appropriate wire material because its resistance value is lower than other metals. In addition, although the resistance value of...
