Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a gray tone mask, its manufacturing method and the like. Background technique
[0002] In recent years, in the field of masks for large LCDs, attempts have been made to reduce the number of masks using grayscale masks (Monthly FPD Intelligence, May 1999).
[0003] Here, a grayscale mask, for example, such as Figure 5 As shown in (1), it has a light-shielding part 1 , a light-transmitting part 2 and a gray tone part 3 . The gray-tone part 3 is an area where a fine light-shielding pattern 3a is formed within the resolution limit of a large-scale LCD exposure machine using a gray-tone mask. The purpose of its formation is to reduce the amount of light transmitted through this area and reduce The thickness of the photoresist film can optionally be changed according to the amount of irradiation. Both the light-shielding portion 1 and the fine light-shielding pattern 3a are generally formed of films of the same thickness m...
