Background technology
Along with modern society in advanced IT application, sealed cell and related components are in significantly development and widespread use.Wherein, with regard to the display unit of display image, acceleration for TV with or the research used etc. of the monitor apparatus used of PC.Thus, for the sheets of glass of on substrate indispensable on the display unit, using and to the research of the making method of this sheets of glass also in acceleration.
The prior art of making light and thin display panel generally includes mechanical polishing method and chemical wet engraving method.Though at the early stage of development of display equipment owing to do not need thin panel and widespread use mechanical polishing method as thin as a wafer, the ultra-thin product of beginning to demand recently, thus bring into use the good chemical wet engraving method of productivity.
In above-mentioned Wet-type etching method; What in the making of Thin Film Transistor-LCD (TFT-LCD), use at first is dip coating; Although spray method and jetting method are more advanced than dip coating; But what be suitable for is to be similar to above-mentioned dip-coating ratio juris, just the disseminating with to remove principle different of the providing of etching reagent, resultant of reaction on macroscopic view.
Above-mentioned once chemical wet engraving method is briefly described; Above-mentioned Wet-type etching method utilization be after etching reagent stir to finish the etching reagent main ingredient promptly the main ingredient of [H+], [HF], [HF2-] and glass substrate be the chemical reaction between the O-Si-O (SiO2), above-mentioned reaction formula is following:
SiO2+4HF→SiF4+2H2O
The step that the etching reagent that use comprises HF carries out the etching glass substrate can be divided into following 5 steps, these 5 etched characteristics in the step left and right sides.These 5 steps are: (1) is diffused into etching reagent the diffusion layer that closes on glass substrate; (2) composition of etching reagent is attached on the surface of glass substrate; (3) composition of etching reagent and glass substrate carry out chemical reaction; (4) resultant of reaction that is generated behind the chemical reaction breaks away from glass substrate; (5) resultant of reaction removes to outside the diffusion layer that closes on glass substrate.
To the Wet-type etching method that utilizes the above-mentioned principles of chemistry is that the technology of dip coating, spray method and jetting method is observed as follows.Above-mentioned dip coating is in etching bath, to hold etching reagent and make glass substrate be immersed in back generation bubble bottom etching bath in the above-mentioned etching reagent.The flow phenomenon that occurs etching reagent because of this bubble on the surface of glass substrate.Here, the disengaging of the diffusion of above-mentioned bubble and etching reagent, resultant of reaction and removing outside diffusion layer are relevant.Because above-mentioned bubble has increased the kinetic energy of etching reagent and resultant of reaction, therefore help acceleration contact, diffusion and disengaging.
In other words, bubble is used for apace to glass substrate provides new etching reagent, and removes resultant from glass baseplate surface.With regard to regard to the above-mentioned dip coating of above-mentioned principle work,, thereby have and insert in the boxes many glass substrates and disposable input makes the productivity advantage of higher because etching reagent has been full of etching bath.The shortcoming of above-mentioned dip coating is owing to resultant of reaction still remains in the etching bath, thereby to cause these resultant of reaction to be bonded at the detrimentally affects such as surface of glass substrate.Based on aforesaid reason, exist to be difficult for through increasing the shortcoming that etch quantity reduces thickness of glass substrate and needs a large amount of etching reagents to come the above-mentioned glass substrate of etching.
What develop for the defective that remedies aforesaid dip coating is exactly spray method.Above-mentioned spray method is more advanced than dip coating qualitatively.As shown in Figure 1, above-mentioned spray method sprays etching reagent 12 from nozzle 11 to glass substrate 13.Step based on the dip coating of the etching step of etching principle and above description is the same.Yet above-mentioned spray method uses the instrument as atomizer, and etching reagent is injected perpendicularly on the glass substrate, makes that the kinetic energy of etching reagent is very big, and can be more fast and new etching reagent is provided equably and removes resultant.In addition, compare with above-mentioned dip coating, spray method can obtain higher surface quality and under same temperature, have higher rate of etch.
Above-mentioned spray method, owing to remove resultant of reaction and etching reagent easily constantly in groove and etching space circulation, thereby can use one to have the comparatively large capacity groove.In addition, above-mentioned spray method since etching reagent through the processing reaction resultant and constantly use, thereby have and can keep surface quality and can reduce the advantage of the usage quantity of etching reagent with fabulous state.Yet, under according to the situation of above-mentioned spray method, can only handle glass substrate one by one, thereby have the significantly reduced problem of productivity.
Develop the problem that jetting method is mentioned more than having overcome, but jetting method can be regarded as the combination of dip coating and injection method.Above-mentioned fluid jet fills up etching bath and glass substrate is immersed powerful the flowing so that play a part like the bubble in the dip coating that the back produces etching reagent in a side in the etching reagent with etching reagent.In addition, new etching reagent is constantly supplied to etching bath, the etching reagent that overflows etching bath reclaims again and utilizes.Though above-mentioned fluid jet can be boosted productivity, it has a shortcoming that initial cost is very high.

With reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the present invention relates to surface through the above-mentioned glass substrate 300 of etching and make the glass substrate etching device 100 of thickness attenuation of glass substrate 300.Above-mentioned etching system 100 comprises: glass substrate 300; Spray the injecting-unit 101 of etching reagent downwards; And the fixing part 200 of fixing above-mentioned glass substrate 300.
Above-mentioned glass substrate 300 will be arranged more than one at least.Can several thin glass substrates of disposable making in the above-mentioned etching system thereby several above-mentioned glass substrates 300 are encased in.And above-mentioned glass substrate 300 need comprise silicon (Si) or silicon-dioxide (SiO
2), be the HF etching so that can be etched agent.But be not limited thereto,, can arrange above-mentioned glass substrate 300 separately according to above-mentioned etching reagent 104.
In addition, be formed with fixing part 200 in the bottom of above-mentioned glass substrate 300, this fixing part can fixing glass substrate 300, and makes glass substrate 300 favour ground.At this moment, substrate need not to become 90 degree exactly with the etching reagent feeding mechanism.Said fixing parts 200 are processed by macromolecule resin or organic materials etc., and should in fixing glass substrate 300, make with the contact area of glass substrate 300 minimum.This is because etching reagent need be injected on the above-mentioned glass substrate 300 and and glass substrate nothing left ground reaction.Yet as long as can fix above-mentioned glass substrate 300, said fixing parts 200 just are not limited to above-mentioned macromolecule resin etc.
In addition; Said fixing parts 200 can be provided with the groove that separates each other and fix several above-mentioned glass substrates 300; It is identical so that snap in fixingly that the width of said fixing parts 200 can be arranged to width with above-mentioned glass substrate 300, and glass substrate 300 is fixed on the fixing part 200 with the area of minimum.
And said fixing parts 200 adopt following mode.Because several glass substrate 300 can insert and be fixed on the fixing part 200; Thereby can make fixing part 200 become the one that is inserted with glass substrate 300 and put into etching area above-mentioned glass substrate 300 is carried out etching, and then take out above-mentioned one.As stated, because fixing part 200 can put into etching area easily and take out from etching area, therefore, several glass substrates 300 of etching simultaneously.As stated, because according to circumstances can glass substrate of etch processes 300 or a plurality of glass substrates 300, thereby the present invention is effective.In addition, thus since the present invention be suitable for spray method can etching than the more glass substrate 300 of dip coating, so productivity and economic benefit are all very high.
In addition, because glass substrate 300 is not influenced by external force basically, therefore, said fixing parts 200 can according to circumstances be realized flexibly.With reference to Figure 10, said fixing parts 200 possess clip 202, and coming with this can fixing glass substrate 300.This is because if said fixing parts 200 continue to contact with glass substrate 300, thereby then resultant of reaction accumulates in bad die such as the surface quality that occurs spot on the said fixing parts 200.In the present invention owing to can possess fixing part 200, thereby has the very big advantage of design freedom according to the kind or the operation of substrate.Thereby this is etching reagent 104 be from the top of glass substrate 300 along substrate surface be ejected into the influence that can make external force on the glass substrate minimum so.
Be provided with the injecting-unit 101 that sprays etching reagent 104 from the top of above-mentioned glass substrate 300.Owing to be arranged on above-mentioned glass substrate 300 tops etching reagent 104 is supplied from the top down, thereby glass substrate 300 suffered external force produce hardly.This is because because glass substrate 300 suffered external force are very little, make to the very easy event of the design of supporting structure.Because of aforesaid reason, be very beneficial for making glass substrate 300 to be thinned to below the 0.1mm, and make the etching area reach 1000 above * 1250mm of the 4th generation
2More than.
Above-mentioned injecting-unit 101 comprises at least more than one nozzle 103 and injector head 102, sprays etching reagent from said nozzle 103 with spray pattern.Said nozzle head 102 forms more than one, on each injector head 102, comprises more than one nozzle 103.
With reference to Fig. 5,, adopt spray method owing to use a spot of etching reagent just can bigger area and the etched thickness of etching can suitably adjust.Because injecting-unit 101 is formed on above-mentioned glass substrate 300 tops, thereby when being sprayed, etching reagent 104 is applied to the minimize pressure on the glass substrate 300.In addition, etching reagent 104 is with after top, middle part or the bottom of glass substrate 300 contact, because of surface tension on one side along next rim etching glass substrate 300 surface of glass substrate 300 spontaneous currents.Contrast, existing spray method is because etching reagent 12 is directly injected on the glass substrate 13, thereby the suffered pressure of glass substrate 13 is bigger when spraying.
With reference to Fig. 4, the spacing of above-mentioned glass substrate 300 and the end of nozzle 103 is determined by the spray angle of the etching reagent 104 of the disposition interval of nozzle 103 and nozzle 103.Above-mentioned glass substrate 300 as above determines with the spacing of the end of nozzle 103, thereby prevents the part that etching reagent 104 reaches.Above-mentioned glass substrate 300 of the present invention is that h is determined by following formula 1 with the spacing of the end of nozzle 103:
[formula 1]
Formula 1
Wherein, parameter N
PBe spacing between the nozzle, H
pBe spacing between the injector head, and θ is a nozzle spray angle.
Spacing between nozzle 103 and the glass substrate 300 should have the geometrical property that satisfies above-mentioned two formulas simultaneously.If the spacing between the outermost contour edge point of above-mentioned glass substrate 300 and outermost 's the nozzle 103 is made as d, then should satisfies following formula 2 and just can prevent the part that etching reagent 104 reaches.
[formula 2]
Formula 2
In addition, if the spacing between the outermost contour edge point of the glass substrate 300 of opposite side and outermost 's the nozzle 103 is made as d ', then d ' can must satisfy following formula with 3 expressions of following formula.
[formula 3]
Formula 3
The obliquity that is become between the vertical surface of above-mentioned glass substrate 300 and the vertical perforation of nozzle is between 0 to 45 degree.With reference to Fig. 9, angulation is 0 degree between the vertical surface of best above-mentioned glass substrate 300 and vertical perforation said nozzle 103.When the angle between the vertical surface of glass substrate 300 and the vertical perforation of nozzle 103 is inclined to 30 when spending, produce difference in thickness up and down hardly.Yet, if above-mentioned obliquity tilts to 47 when spending, because resultant of reaction can not successfully be removed, thereby the situation of thickness thickening of the bottom of glass substrate 300 takes place.Therefore, be preferably in the above-mentioned obliquity of formation in the inclination range recited above.
Be arranged in the spacing 5mm-300mm preferably between a plurality of glass substrates 300 on the said fixing parts 200.Why so the spacing between the above-mentioned glass substrate 300 of regulation is in order to boost productivity through a large amount of glass substrate 300 of while etching.In practice, when in identical space, comparing with 40mm spacing arranged glass substrate with 8mm spacing arranged glass substrate, the productivity height differs 5 times, thereby the spacing between the glass substrate is the important factor of left and right sides productivity.Reducing the arrangement pitches of above-mentioned glass substrate 300 can boost productivity, but in order to reduce the nozzle arrangement spacing, also need reduce the spacing between the injector head 102 that is provided with nozzle.The spacing that reduces between the said nozzle head 102 also need reduce pipe diameter, and at this moment, the etching reagent difficulty to nozzle 103 supply q.s needs to use the component of non-standard specification, thereby the problem that manufacturing cost increases takes place.In addition, also be difficult to safeguard the shortcoming of said nozzle 103.
Therefore, the spacing between the above-mentioned glass substrate 300 is preferably confirmed in above-described distance range.In addition because the quantity of the substrate once put into represent the whole etch quantity of etching work procedure, thereby the specification that needs the consideration etching system especially groove capacity, can evenly keep from the pipeline of the spraying pressure of nozzle ejection and the capacity of pump etc.
Be equipped with the etching reagent holding tank at above-mentioned injecting-unit 101, be arranged to this etching reagent holding tank and link to each other with above-mentioned reactant storage tanks.In above-mentioned etching reagent holding tank, fill HF, this HF ionic concentration is adjusted with amount operation according to the present invention.
The reactant storage tanks that possesses the reactant of etching reagent 104 that collection sprays from nozzle 103 and glass substrate 300 in the lower end of said fixing parts 200, unreacted etching reagent flows into the etching reagent holding tank and circulates from above-mentioned reactant storage tanks.Above-mentioned etching reagent 104 reacts with glass substrate 300 and the reactant that generates flows into the reactant storage tanks fast.Above-mentioned reactant storage tanks links to each other with the etching reagent holding tank or shares a space and makes unreacted etching reagent circulation.But thereby make the unreacted etching reagent in the above-mentioned reactant flow into the new etching reagent of etching reagent holding tank fast supply once more and remove resultant, thereby improve the surface quality characteristic.Above-mentioned reactant storage tanks can comprise filter element to separate above-mentioned reactant and above-mentioned unreacted etching reagent 104.
Above-mentioned etching reagent 104 is HF, and the rate of etch of glass substrate is by the H in the above-mentioned etching reagent 104
+, HF and HF
2Concentration decision.Promptly, rate of etch is according to above-mentioned H
+, HF and HF
2Concentration and change, rate of etch is disproportionate with the amount of lip-deep etching reagent that is fed to above-mentioned glass substrate 300.
With reference to Fig. 6, as long as a certain amount of etching reagent 104 of supply can be guaranteed rate of etch and surface quality.Because the amount of above-mentioned etching reagent 104 and rate of etch and surface quality do not have proportionlity, thereby with regard to etching reagent 104, as long as the necessary above amount of liquid of supply.In addition; With reference to Fig. 6 and Fig. 7; If the substrate bottom includes the above etching reagent composition of necessary amount,, between the top 302 of glass substrate 300 and bottom 303, can there be difference in thickness and mass discrepancy even then etching reagent 104 is supplied with from the top of above-mentioned glass substrate 300 yet.That is to say,, can not only guarantee that then rate of etch can also guarantee favorable surface quality if necessary above etching reagent is permanently connected to the surface of glass substrate 300.
With reference to Figure 10, said fixing parts 200 of the present invention are formed with and are used for fixing above-mentioned glass substrate 300 and make reactant flow to the glass substrate contact component 201 of reactant storage tanks easily.Glass substrate contact component 201 is round members, by formations such as the material of anti-HF, PVC, polyetheretherketone (Peek), tetrafluoroethylene.This glass substrate contact component 201 is not limited to above material of mentioning and shape, as long as fixing glass substrate 300 and be beneficial to etching reagent 104 and flow out with reactant better then is not limited to this.In addition, above-mentioned glass substrate contact component 201 makes the downward to greatest extent Channel Group of resultant of reaction through contacting with 300 of glass substrates, and the side has the spacing bigger than the thickness of substrate.
The common thickness range of the glass substrate of being made by glass substrate etching device recited above also can be fabricated onto the thickness also thinner than 0.1mm between 0.3-1mm.And it is 1000 * 1200mm that above-mentioned glass etching device can be made areal extent with above-mentioned thickness
2To 1100 * 1300mm
2Between film-type transistor (TFT-LCD) sheets of glass.
Be a preferred embodiment of the present invention below, with the thickness of the upper and lower of this sight glass substrate 300 difference with glass substrate 300 arrangement pitches.In addition, the thickness of the upper and lower through another embodiment sight glass substrate 300 is with the difference of the spacing between spacing between the said nozzle 103 and the glass substrate 300.

The spray volume of the nozzle that uses among the embodiment 2 is 0.3 liter/minute.In the practice, substrate is arranged with the 40mm spacing and compared with the arrangement of 8mm spacing, productivity differs 5 times, thereby the spacing between the substrate is an important factors of left and right sides productivity.Can boost productivity though reduce the substrate arrangement pitches, need reduce the spacing of the injector head that is provided with nozzle for the arrangement pitches that reduces nozzle.The spacing that reduces between the injector head also need reduce pipe diameter; In this case, just very difficult to the etching reagent that nozzle is enough, needs use the component of non-standard specification; Thereby the shortcoming that exists manufacturing cost to increase, also there is the shortcoming that is difficult to safeguard.
In addition, the maintenance of nozzle 102 is also very difficult.Because the quantity of the glass substrate once put into represent the whole etch quantity of etching work procedure, thus the specification that needs the consideration etching system especially groove capacity, can evenly keep from the pipeline of the spraying pressure of nozzle ejection and the capacity of pump.Need supply with the etching reagent more than a certain amount of to the surface in order to ensure the quality of indicating meter etc., according to this experiment, C

Observing table 3, is that 50mm (0.05m), glass substrate spacing are under the situation of 8mm (0.008m) in injector spacing, and the substrate scope of difference in thickness up and down is from 35 to 50 μ m; Its part is within specification; But because many glass substrates of etching simultaneously, and, to guarantee the difference in thickness that etching is preceding after the etching at least because the scope of etching prebasal plate difference in thickness is 10-15 μ m; Therefore, the substrate spacing 8mm for injector spacing 50mm is difficult to the actual geometric configuration that is suitable for.
What the present invention relates on the other hand, is than the method relevant with method for chemially etching in the method for unfertile land making glass substrate.In existing dip coating, exist and be difficult to the etching equably and the problem of control thickness difficulty exactly.In addition,, therefore, say, exist and support large-area glass substrate to overcome the very problem of difficulty of terrestrial gravitation from structure because existing spray method is supplied with vaporific etching reagent from both sides, thereby has increased the spraying pressure of etching reagent and caused air-flow.
In order to address the above problem, external force is minimized thereby the present invention sprays etching reagent from glass substrate top.In addition, for above-mentioned glass substrate, be that the TFT-LCD of 1.26mm or 1.0mm combines panel can produce thickness to be the for example film below the 1.0mm (0.9mm, 0.8mm, 0.6mm etc.) through etched thickness.Etching system of the present invention not only can also be implemented meagre etching before to combining to the combination panel of indicating meters such as above-mentioned TFT-LCD, OLED on glass substrate or the silicon wafer.In addition, etching system of the present invention is an operation technology that productivity when can improve surface quality is good and cost of manufacture is lower.
The present invention is illustrated according to an illustrated embodiment in the accompanying drawing, but this only is an illustration, will be understood by those skilled in the art that thus and can carry out other embodiment that various distortion and derivation are equal to.Therefore, real technical protection scope of the present invention should be by the technological thought decision of claims of being enclosed.
