A glass substrate with a double-sided magnetron sputtering acid-resistant protective layer is formed by photoresist coating, exposure and development to create marks and preset holes. The coating is removed by stripping, followed by laser drilling and etching. Finally, the residual coating is removed by stripping. The acid-resistant protective layer prevents scratches during glass thinning and etching.

Description

Technical Field

[0002] Currently, the main process for fabricating through-hole devices using glass substrates is as follows: first, obtain a glass substrate of a set thickness, then perform laser drilling, and finally etch through-holes to obtain a glass substrate of a certain thickness and through-hole diameter.

[0003] Under the current through-hole method, the through-hole efficiency will vary depending on the substrate material and thickness. The glass substrate will gradually become thinner during the through-hole process, and the thinning thickness (relative to different materials and thicknesses) is a variable that varies. The hole diameter and final thickness after the conventional through-hole method cannot simultaneously meet the needs of different projects. In the actual production process, the hole diameter is limited by the thickness and material, which increases the difficulty of process control.

[0004] In addition, under the current through-hole method, during the etching process, the glass substrate continuously adds and enlarges pits and scratches in the etching solution, resulting in poor substrate surface quality and requiring further repair (more serious ones cannot be repaired), which in turn reduces efficiency and product quality.

[0011] e) Etch the substrate processed in step d) to form through holes of the required specifications at the laser-drilled areas of the substrate.

[0012] f) Remove the coating and plating from the substrate after step e) to remove the residual plating layer on the substrate surface.

[0013] Preferably, in step a), the acid-resistant protective layer comprises one or more of molybdenum, lead, nickel, chromium, and copper.

[0014] Preferably, in step a), the coating thickness of the acid-resistant protective layer is 200–2000 nm.

[0102]

[0103] As can be seen from the table above, in Examples 1-2 of the present invention, the thickness, inner and outer diameters, and product appearance after through-hole penetration all meet the standards. In Comparative Examples 1-3, the thickness after through-hole penetration does not meet the standards; in Comparative Example 4, the through-hole effect does not meet the standards; and in Comparative Example 5, increasing the initial thickness makes the thickness after through-hole penetration acceptable, but the outer diameter exceeds the standard. The experimental comparison shows that the present invention has superior performance in controlling through-hole thickness and product appearance.

[0104] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
