Description

Manufacturing method of substrate structure, substrate structure and display panel
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of display technologies, and in particular, to a method for manufacturing a substrate structure, and a display panel.
Background
In the field of liquid crystal display technology, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) devices are widely used in tv, notebook computers, mobile phones, personal digital assistants and other products because of their advantages of thin and light profile, low power consumption and no radiation pollution.
The structure of the liquid crystal panel includes an array substrate (array substrate), a color filter substrate (color filter substrate), and a liquid crystal layer formed between the array substrate and the color filter substrate. The array substrate is formed by a photolithography process using a photomask process.
FIGS. 1a to 1f are schematic structural diagrams of steps of a method for fabricating a substrate structure; FIG. 1g is an enlarged view of a portion of FIG. 1f at I. Referring to fig. 1a to fig. 1g, a method for manufacturing a substrate structure includes the following steps: providing a substrate 91; forming a metal layer 93 on the substrate 91, the metal layer 93 including an aluminum layer 932 and a molybdenum layer 934, and the aluminum layer 932 being disposed between the molybdenum layer 934 and the substrate 91; etching the metal layer 93 to pattern the metal layer 93; forming a protective layer 95 on the etched metal layer 93; etching the protective layer 95 to expose a portion of the metal layer 93; an electrode layer 97 is formed on the protective layer 95 and the exposed metal layer 93. In the process of etching the protective layer 95, since the developing solution is alkaline, the aluminum at the edge of the exposed metal layer 93 is replaced by the alkaline solution, and molybdenum remains, so as to form a cavity 936, at this time, an undercut (undercut) phenomenon occurs after the electrode layer 97 is formed, and thus the signal of the electrode layer 97 is interrupted at the edge of the metal layer 93.
To solve the undercut problem, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of another method for manufacturing a substrate structure. Referring to fig. 2, before forming the passivation layer 95, an insulating layer 99 may be formed on the metal layer 93, that is, the metal layer 93 is formed first, and the metal layer 93 is etched to pattern the metal layer 93; forming an insulating layer 99 on the metal layer 93, and etching the insulating layer 99; then, forming a protective layer 95, and etching the protective layer 95; then, the electrode layer 97 is formed; wherein, before the process of depositing the electrode layer, a hole is punched on the insulating layer 99 for subsequently bridging the metal layer 93 and the electrode layer 97; this protects the aluminum at the edge of metal layer 93 and prevents the formation of voids and undercuts. However, the formation of the insulating layer 99 increases a process of forming the insulating layer, increases manufacturing costs, and increases the thickness of the array substrate, thereby increasing the thickness of the entire display panel.

Detailed Description
The following detailed description of the present invention is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are intended to illustrate the invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
Fig. 3a to fig. 3f are schematic structural diagrams of the substrate structure manufacturing method according to the embodiment of the invention at each step. Fig. 3g is a partial enlarged view at II in fig. 3 f.
Specifically, the method for manufacturing a substrate structure according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
s11, please refer to fig. 3a, providing the substrate 11. Specifically, the substrate 11 may be a transparent glass substrate or a plastic substrate. It is understood that the substrate 11 may also be other material layers, such as an insulating layer, a protective layer, etc., i.e. the substrate 11 is not limited to a substrate of a base plate structure.
S13, referring to fig. 3b, a metal layer 13 is formed on the substrate 11. Specifically, the metal layer 13 includes at least a first metal layer 132 and a second metal layer 134, the first metal layer 132 is located between the substrate 11 and the second metal layer 134, and the first metal layer 132 and the second metal layer 134 are different in material. More specifically, the first metal layer 132 may be made of aluminum, and the second metal layer 134 may be made of molybdenum. Of course, the first metal layer 132 and the second metal layer 134 may also be made of other materials, and in general, the material of the first metal layer 132 is more easily eroded by a developing solution (typically, an alkali solution) of a subsequent protection layer than the material of the second metal layer 134. In other embodiments, the metal layer 13 may be made of multiple layers of different metals, and is not limited herein.
S15, referring to fig. 3c, the metal layer 13 includes a first region and a second region, and at least the metal layer 13 in the first region is patterned. In this embodiment, the first region and the second region are not limited to a certain region of the substrate structure as long as there is a metal layer 13 corresponding to the region having the protective layer boundary. For example, the first region is a region having a resist pattern, and the second region is a region having no resist pattern. Specifically, when the metal layer 13 in the first region is subjected to patterning, the metal layer 13 having a pattern in the first region is obtained by performing exposure, development, and etching. That is, the metal layer 13 is first masked with a mask having a pattern, exposed to light, then developed in a developing solution, and finally etched to obtain a pattern.
Specifically, in step S15, the metal layer 13 in the second area is also subjected to a patterning process at the same time, and a pre-process pattern is formed in the second area. Specifically, for example, if the target pattern to be finally formed in the second area is a metal strip with a width of 1 μm, in step S15, a metal strip with a width of 5 μm (i.e., a pre-treatment pattern) is first formed in the second area; alternatively, if the target pattern to be finally formed in the second area is a cross pattern, in step S15, a rectangular block (i.e., a pre-processing pattern) is first formed in the second area. The pre-process pattern can protect the final target pattern and avoid forming undercuts (undercuts) on the final target pattern. It is to be understood that, in step S15 in other embodiments, the patterning process may be performed only on the metal layer 13 in the first region, and the patterning process is not performed on the metal layer 13 in the second region, that is, the pre-treatment pattern may not be formed, and the final target pattern may be formed on the metal layer 13 in the second region at one time in the subsequent step S21.
Specifically, in step S15, the metal layer 13 in the second area may be patterned to form a final auxiliary pattern, such as a cross pattern, in the second area. The auxiliary pattern formed at this time forms undercuts in the subsequent step S19, but such a pattern is generally used only as an aid for a mark or the like, and is not used as a pattern for circuit connection, and therefore has no influence on the performance of the substrate structure.
S17, please refer to fig. 3d, forming a protective layer 15 on the metal layer 13, wherein the protective layer 15 covers the metal layer 13 and the substrate 11 not covered by the metal layer 13. The protective layer 15 is an OC layer, and is made of an insulating material.
S19, please refer to fig. 3e, the passivation layer 15 is patterned to remove the passivation layer 15 in the second area, so as to expose the metal layer 13 in the second area, and leave the passivation layer 15 in the first area. Specifically, when the protective layer 15 is subjected to patterning, the protective layer 15 having a pattern is obtained by performing exposure, development, and etching.
S21, referring to fig. 3f and fig. 3g, the final patterning process is performed on the metal layer 13 in the second area, so that the metal layer 13 in the second area forms a final target pattern. When the metal layer 13 in the second region is subjected to the final patterning process, the metal layer having the final target pattern is obtained through exposure, development, and etching processes.
S23, forming an electrode layer 17 on the passivation layer 15, wherein the electrode layer 17 covers the passivation layer 15 in the first region, the metal layer 13 in the second region, and the substrate 11 in the second region not covered by the metal layer 13. Specifically, the electrode layer 17 may be an ITO layer, i.e., may be made of indium tin oxide or the like. The electrode layer 17 is electrically connected to the metal layer 13 in the second region.
In the manufacturing method of the substrate structure in this embodiment, since the metal layer is etched twice, the metal layer in the second region maintains the original pattern when the protective layer is developed, and the edge of the metal layer is not contacted by the developing solution, so that undercut (undercut) is avoided, and an additional insulating layer is not required, so that the cost is saved and the thickness of the entire substrate structure is reduced.
In this embodiment, the metal layer is disposed directly on the substrate. It is understood that in other embodiments, the metal layer may be disposed in other locations. The method of etching twice can also avoid the problem of undercut of the metal layer.
In this embodiment, in step S15, when the metal layer 13 in the first region is patterned, the metal layer 13 is exposed for the first time by using the first mask; in step S19, when the protective layer 15 is patterned, the protective layer 15 is exposed using the second mask; in step S21, when the final patterning process is performed on the metal layer 13 in the second region, the metal layer 13 is exposed for the second time using the third mask.
Fig. 4a and 4b are schematic partial patterns of masks used in the method for manufacturing a substrate structure according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 4a and 4b, the first mask is provided with a first positioning pattern 31 shown by a solid line, the first positioning pattern 31 includes a first portion 312 and a second portion 314, the second mask is provided with a second positioning pattern 33 shown by a dotted line, the third mask is provided with a third positioning pattern 35 shown by a dotted line, and the third positioning pattern 35 at least includes a third portion 352. The second mask is aligned with the first mask by aligning the second alignment patterns 33 with the patterns formed corresponding to the first portions 312 of the first alignment patterns 31, and the third mask is aligned with the first mask by aligning the third portions 352 of the third alignment patterns 35 with the patterns formed corresponding to the second portions 314 of the first alignment patterns 31.
In this embodiment, the third positioning pattern 35 further includes a fourth portion 354. Subsequent masks may be aligned with the third mask through the fourth portion 354 of the third positioning pattern 35.
By manufacturing different positioning patterns on the first photomask, the second photomask and the third photomask, the positioning patterns can be respectively used as alignment references in the subsequent primary etching of the metal layer, the etching of the protective layer and the secondary etching of the metal layer, so that the manufactured patterns are prevented from deviating, and the positioning accuracy is improved.
The invention also provides a substrate structure which is manufactured by the manufacturing method of the substrate structure.
As shown in fig. 3a to 3f, the substrate structure includes a substrate 11, a metal layer 13, a protective layer 15, and an electrode layer 17 stacked in this order. The metal layer 13 includes a first region and a second region, and the protective layer 15 covers the metal layer 13 of the first region and exposes the metal layer 13 of the second region. In the second region, the metal layer 13 is formed with a target pattern and, at the target pattern, there is no undercut. In this embodiment, an auxiliary pattern may be further formed on the metal layer 13, and an undercut may exist at the auxiliary pattern.
In step S15, the metal layer 13 in the second region forms a pre-process pattern and an auxiliary pattern, respectively, in step S19, an undercut is formed at the auxiliary pattern, the pre-process pattern protects the metal layer, and no undercut is generated in the final target pattern formed in step S21. It should be noted that the undercut at the auxiliary pattern means that the edge of the second metal layer 134 of the metal layer 13 extends outward by a certain length relative to the edge of the first metal layer 132, and the non-undercut at the target pattern means that the edge of the second metal layer 134 of the metal layer 13 is flush with the edge of the first metal layer 132 or the edge of the first metal layer 132 extends outward by a certain length relative to the edge of the second metal layer 134.
FIG. 5a is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 5b is a partial enlarged view of fig. 5a at V.
Specifically, referring to fig. 5a and 5b, the present embodiment further discloses a display panel, which includes an upper substrate and a lower substrate disposed opposite to each other, and a liquid crystal layer (not shown in the figure) sandwiched between the upper substrate and the lower substrate, wherein the lower substrate in the present embodiment includes the substrate structure as described above.
In the present embodiment, the display panel is, for example, a dimming box for realizing switching of a wide and a narrow viewing angle.
Specifically, the display panel includes a display area and a non-display area. The upper substrate of the display panel comprises a substrate 51, an electrode 52 and a conductive part 53, and the lower substrate of the display panel comprises a base material 11, a metal layer 13, a protective layer 15 and an electrode layer 17 which are sequentially stacked. The display area corresponds to a first area of the metal layer 13, and the non-display area corresponds to a second area of the metal layer 13.
The electrode 52 of the upper substrate is electrically connected to the conductive portion 53 through a transfer portion (transfer)55, and the electrode 52 is further electrically connected to the first pin 54, so as to transmit an electrical signal to the electrode 52 through the first pin 54.
The lower substrate of the display panel comprises a substrate 11, a metal layer 13, a protective layer 15 and an electrode layer 17 which are sequentially stacked. The electrode layer 17 of the lower substrate is electrically connected to the second pins 56, so as to transmit the electrical signal to the electrode layer 17 through the second pins 56. The electrode layer 17 and the electrode 52 may be formed as a whole surface, and a vertical electric field is formed therebetween to control liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer, thereby realizing a wide-narrow viewing angle switching function. Here, the lower substrate may be manufactured by the above-described manufacturing method of the substrate structure, so that the formation of an undercut at the dashed frame (i.e., at the edge of the metal layer 15) in fig. 5b may be avoided.
It is understood that the manufacturing method of the substrate structure can also be used for manufacturing an array substrate in a display panel for displaying pictures. The substrate structure can be manufactured by the manufacturing method of the substrate structure under the condition that the protective layer is partially covered and partially uncovered above the metal layer, so that the problem of undercut of the metal layer is avoided.
