Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of flat panel display, and particularly relates to an etching solution compatible with IGZO and ITO, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of liquid crystal display panels (TFT-LCD), the backplane as a core component, its manufacturing process plays a decisive role in display performance. At present, the backplane manufacturing process is mainly formed according to the semiconductor channel layer material, and three technical routes of a-Si (amorphous silicon), LTPS (low temperature polysilicon) and IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) are formed.

[0003] The a-Si technology has become the most widely used backplane technology in the early stage and current application due to its significant advantages of simple process and low cost. However, due to its inherent low carrier mobility, the thin film transistor (TFT) switching element occupies a large area in the pixel, resulting in low aperture ratio, which not only seriously restricts the improvement of panel brightness, but also greatly hinders the realization of high pixel density (high PPI). With the rapid development of consumer electronics market, mobile terminal products such as smart phones and tablet computers have put forward higher requirements on display effect, and products gradually evolve towards higher resolution, wider color gamut and lighter and thinner direction, and the a-Si technology has been difficult to meet the needs of these high-end application scenarios. Under the background of this industry change, the performance of LTPS and IGZO technology is better, which has become a new direction of the industry to pursue higher display quality.

[0004] The IGZO technology realizes a major breakthrough in performance by replacing the TFT channel layer material with a metal oxide mainly composed of indium gallium zinc oxide. Its carrier mobility reaches 20-30 times that of a-Si, and it has high uniformity, good light transmission and relatively simple process characteristics. This makes the existing production line based on a-Si actively seek to transform to IGZO technology in order to enhance market competitiveness. In the process of technology transition, in order to effectively control the cost of new equipment investment, make full use of existing production equipment, especially the etching machine to complete the patterning etching of IGZO film layer, it has become a key problem to be solved by the factory. It is worth noting that IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) and commonly used transparent conductive film ITO (indium tin oxide) belong to the same metal oxide system, which provides a theoretical basis for developing a general etching solution compatible with ITO and IGZO, which is expected to avoid the need to purchase special etching equipment for IGZO etching, thereby greatly reducing production costs.

[0005] The current widely used ITO etching liquid system mainly contains oxalic acid (content usually 3.2-3.6wt%). The system has many defects that cannot be ignored, among which the crystallization problem caused by low solubility of oxalic acid is particularly prominent. In actual use, oxalic acid is prone to crystallization, which cannot be underestimated. In slight cases, crystallization can block the device sensor, interfere with the normal operation of the device, and even cause the device to shut down; in severe cases, crystallization can scratch the surface of the substrate, directly causing product scrap. In addition, in order to prevent the accumulation of crystallization from affecting the performance of the equipment, the maintenance cycle of the equipment is forced to be greatly shortened, and the maintenance workload is multiplied, greatly increasing the production and operation cost.

[0006] From the structure of the target IGZO product, the electrode layer below it is mostly a Cu / MoNb (copper / molybdenum niobium) stacked structure. When etching the IGZO layer above, the etching liquid will inevitably come into contact with the exposed Cu / MoNb metal stack. Therefore, an ideal compatible etching liquid not only needs to achieve efficient etching of both IGZO and ITO metal oxide films, but also needs to strictly avoid causing significant oxidation or corrosion to the Cu / MoNb metal layer. Once the metal electrode is damaged, it will directly lead to device failure, causing a significant decrease in product yield and seriously affecting production efficiency.

[0007] In summary, the market demand for upgrading display performance promotes the a-Si production line to accelerate the expansion of IGZO technology, and the core of reasonable cost control is to make full use of existing etching equipment. Under this situation, it is urgent to develop a new type of etching liquid. The etching liquid needs to have multiple key characteristics: first, good compatibility, which can effectively etch IGZO and ITO metal oxide films; second, excellent anti-crystallization performance, which completely overcomes the crystallization defects of the oxalic acid system, ensures stable operation of the equipment, and reduces maintenance costs; third, while ensuring etching performance, it provides excellent protection to the underlying key Cu / MoNb stacked metal electrode, achieves extremely low etching rate or selective etching, prevents it from being oxidized or corroded, and thus effectively guarantees product yield. SUMMARY

[0008] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present application provides a compatible IGZO and ITO etching liquid, its preparation method and application. The etching liquid can etch ITO and IGZO film layers, meet the process requirements of ultra-small line width loss in the factory; at the same time, it has protective effect on Cu / MoNb stack, meets the demand of a-Si factory product upgrading, avoids the investment of new etching machine, greatly reduces the cost investment; compared with the existing oxalic acid system etching liquid, there is no crystallization, greatly reduces the risk of product scrap and saves the labor cost investment.
