(c) glass substrate that will open the ion-exchange window is placed in the mixed solution 4~20 minutes of phosphoric acid, acetic acid and nitric acid, and then the aluminium film on the deionizing exchanging window washes away the photoresist material of glass substrate surface with organic solvent.
