Description

Manufacturing method of precise metal mask plate and precise metal mask plate
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of metal material preparation, in particular to a manufacturing method of a precise metal mask plate and the precise metal mask plate.
Background
The organic light emitting diode OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) has advantages of light weight, wide viewing angle, fast response time, low temperature resistance, high luminous efficiency, etc., compared to the liquid crystal display, and is regarded as a new display technology of the next generation. At present, an organic semiconductor material is heated and sublimated in a vacuum environment, an organic thin film device stack structure with a designed shape is formed on the surface of a substrate through a metal mask plate with a special sub-pixel pattern, the organic thin film device stack structure is subjected to continuous deposition of various materials to form a film, and an anode and a cathode are respectively plated at two ends of the stack structure, so that an OLED light-emitting device structure with a plurality of layers of thin films can be formed. In the process, a precision Metal Mask (FMM) is required to be used for depositing the light-emitting layer of the OLED device, and the quality of the precision Metal Mask has an important influence on the quality of the final OLED light-emitting device.
At present, a precise metal mask plate is mainly prepared by three processes: etching method precise mask plate, electroforming method precise mask plate and mixed precise mask plate. Compared with the precise mask plate of the etching method, the precise mask plate of the electroforming method and the mixed precise mask plate can realize a screen product with higher resolution, but the maturity of the two processes is insufficient, and the precise mask plate of the etching method is the most widely used precise metal mask plate at present.
In the process of manufacturing an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode ) display panel, a vacuum vapor deposition apparatus generally vapor-deposits an organic electroluminescent material on a substrate using a mask plate having through holes to form a light emitting layer. With the increase in size and resolution of products using organic EL elements, there is an increasing demand for positional accuracy of vapor deposition of light-emitting materials. In the etching method, a wet etching process is generally adopted to manufacture the precise metal mask plate, and in the wet etching process, etching reaction occurs on both sides of the metal foil, and through holes are formed through double-sided etching. As shown in fig. 1, the through holes formed by double-sided etching generate protruding hole bonding portions, and when RGB pixel vapor deposition is performed using a conventional FMM, the evaporation points of the OLED material are not all perpendicular to the holes in the FMM, and the presence of the hole bonding portions may deviate the positions of the OLED material vapor deposited on the substrate from the through holes, which easily causes quality problems such as color mixing and the like, and affects the yield of the display panel.
Disclosure of Invention

Therefore, an object of the present application is to provide a method for manufacturing a precision metal mask plate, in which the precision metal mask plate has a through hole formed by single-sided etching, the position of the luminescent material is not deviated when the luminescent material is evaporated on the substrate by using the metal mask plate, color mixing is not easily generated, and the yield of the display panel is high.
According to one aspect of the present application, there is provided a method for manufacturing a precision metal mask plate, comprising the steps of:
s100, selecting a metal foil, wherein the metal foil is provided with an A surface and a B surface which are opposite;
s101, surface treatment; the surface of the metal foil is treated, pollutants and an oxide layer on the surface of the metal foil are removed, and the metal foil with a clean surface is obtained;
s102, applying photoresist; applying photoresist on the A surface of the metal foil after the surface treatment; each type of photoresist can be applied to the manufacturing method of the application, and corresponding application processes can be selected according to the type of photoresist used, for example, when dry film photoresist is used, the photoresist can be applied in modes of adhesion, hot pressing and the like, and when wet film photoresist is used, the photoresist can be applied by adopting a wet coating process;
s103, exposing; exposing the metal foil with the photoresist, and imaging the pattern to be manufactured on the photoresist; specifically, a metal foil with photoresist is placed on an exposure machine, light irradiated by the exposure machine passes through a photomask plate, and a pattern to be manufactured is projected on the photoresist; or, the metal foil with the photoresist is directly inscribed on the photoresist by laser irradiation in a laser direct-writing imaging mode;
s104, developing; developing the exposed metal foil with the photoresist, and accurately manufacturing a required pattern on the photoresist; when the photoresist is negative photoresist, the exposed metal foil with the negative photoresist is soaked in a developing solution, the part which is subjected to the photoreaction is solidified and remains, the part which is not subjected to the photoreaction is dissolved by the developing solution, and the projected pattern appears on the remaining negative photoresist; when the photoresist is used as positive photoresist, the exposed metal foil with the positive photoresist is soaked in a developing solution, the parts which are not subjected to light reaction are solidified and remain, the parts which are subjected to light reaction are dissolved by the developing solution, and the projected pattern appears on the remaining positive photoresist.
S105, wet etching; carrying out single-sided etching on the A surface of the metal foil, on which the photoresist film is applied, forming a through hole extending from the A surface to the B surface on the A surface, and etching the pattern on the photoresist film on the metal foil;
s106, photoresist is removed; removing the photoresist after etching is completed;
and S107, obtaining the metal foil with the required pattern.
In the application, a metal foil with opposite A face and B face is selected, a plurality of through holes are manufactured on the metal foil in a single-face etching mode, the metal foil is provided with patterns formed by arranging the through holes, then a metal mask plate is manufactured so as to be convenient for the subsequent manufacture of a display panel, and the metal mask plate with the patterns can vapor-coat organic electroluminescent materials on a substrate of the display panel. With the progress of the etching reaction, the etching width formed by the single-sided etching gradually decreases in the thickness direction of the metal foil until a through hole is formed, and the cross section of the through hole is approximately circular arc-shaped in the thickness direction of the metal foil. In the related art, the through hole formed by double-sided etching has a protruding step structure, and the protruding step structure can cause the evaporation position of the luminescent material on the substrate to deviate from the position of the through hole on the mask plate, so that the problems of color mixing and the like occur. As shown in FIG. 4, the single-side etched through hole does not have a protruding step-shaped structure, the through hole is closely attached to the substrate, the OLED material can be accurately evaporated at the position of the through hole no matter whether the evaporation point of the OLED material is vertical to the through hole or not, the luminous material cannot deviate relative to the through hole when being deposited on the substrate, and the yield of the produced display panel is improved.
Preferably, in step S105, the etching width W of the a-plane A Etching width W greater than B face B . As shown in FIG. 3, W A Pore diameter formed by etching A face, W B The aperture is formed by etching the B surface. The surface a is etched until a through hole extending from the surface a to the surface B is formed, and as the etching reaction proceeds, molecules participating in the etching reaction in the etching liquid are reduced, so that the etching width is reduced along the thickness direction of the metal foil.
Preferably, the size of the through hole ranges from 2 to 300 μm. The dimension range herein refers to the range of the etching width of the B-side. The size of the through hole can be adjusted by adjusting the type and concentration of the etching liquid.
Preferably, step S104 is followed by step S110 of applying a barrier layer to the surface B opposite to the surface a of the metal foil; step S111 is further included after step S106, and the barrier layer is removed. After the barrier layer is applied, the etching liquid only starts etching from the A side, and the B side is protected by the barrier layer. After etching is completed and the photoresist film carried on the a-side is removed, the barrier layer applied on the B-side should also be removed.
Preferably, the barrier layer is a resin film. The material which is resistant to etching solution corrosion and high in adhesiveness should be selected for the barrier layer, so that the barrier layer is tightly attached to the metal foil, etching solution cannot enter between the barrier layer and the metal foil in the process of forming the through holes, unidirectional etching is guaranteed, stability and predictability of the shapes of the through holes are guaranteed, and the accuracy of the through holes is improved.
Preferably, in step S110, the resin is a thermosetting resin or a UV curable resin, and the metal foil with the resin film is subjected to heat treatment or UV exposure after the resin film is applied. After the thermosetting resin is cured, a reticular structure is formed due to intermolecular crosslinking, so that the resin film prepared by the thermosetting resin has high rigidity, high hardness, high temperature resistance and nonflammability, has good stability, is tightly attached to the metal foil, and avoids the metal foil from being etched from the surface B; the UV resin has good film forming performance, and the UV film has the advantages of high gloss, flatness, smoothness, heat resistance, water resistance, scratch resistance and the like, is tightly attached to the metal foil after being solidified, and can prevent etching liquid from etching the B surface of the metal foil. When the resin is thermosetting resin, the resin film is cured by adopting a heat treatment mode, so that the stability of the resin film and the bonding compactness with metal are improved; when the resin is a UV-curable resin, the resin film is cured by UV exposure, and the stability of the resin film and the adhesion to metal are improved.
Preferably, when the resin is a thermosetting resin, the heat treatment temperature is greater than 130 ℃; when the resin is a UV-curable resin, the UV exposure is greater than 50mJ/cm 2 . As a further preferred aspect, the applicant has found that when the thermosetting resin film is cured by heat treatment, the heat treatment at a temperature greater than 180 ℃ can make the curing effect of the resin film better, so that the cured resin and the metal foil are more tightly attached to each other, thereby improving the processing precision of the through hole; as a further preferred aspect, the UV-curable resin film is cured by UV exposure to an exposure of more than 300mJ/cm 2 The resin film curing effect is better, so that the cured resin and the metal foil are tightly attached, and the processing precision of the through hole is improved.
Preferably, the exposure in step S103 is contact exposure or non-contact exposure. The contact exposure means that a Mask is pressed on the photoresist during exposure, and the resolution of the exposure mode is higher; non-contact exposure refers to the existence of a gap between the reticle and the photoresist during exposure. When non-contact exposure is adopted, the size of a gap between a photomask and photoresist can influence the performance such as resolution of the manufactured precise metal mask plate, when the gap is too large, the resolution of the manufactured metal mask plate is reduced, and when the gap is too small, foreign matters attached to the photoresist or film thickness deviation of the photoresist can damage the photomask. The applicant has therefore found that the size of the gap is preferably between 10 and 250 μm.
As a further preference, the applicant adopts non-contact exposure during exposure, and the photomask and the photoresist film do not need to be contacted in the exposure mode, so that the damage of the photomask and the photoresist film is avoided.
Preferably, the developing solution used in the developing in step S104 is an inorganic alkali solution or an organic alkali solution. Because the photoresist is a light sensitive material, the structure and chemical characteristics of the irradiated area and the area not irradiated by light are different, and by utilizing the characteristics, the photoresist can be developed by using organic alkali liquor or inorganic alkali liquor, and the inorganic alkali liquor can be KOH or K 2 CO 3 、Na 2 CO 3 And the like, wherein TMAH and the like can be selected as the organic alkali liquor.
Preferably, in the step S100, the selected metal foil comprises 31-37% of Ni and 31-37% of Co by mass percent: 0 to 6 percent, the total amount of Mn and C is less than 1 percent, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable trace impurities. The thermal expansion coefficient of the iron-nickel alloy is lower, the flatness of the prepared metal foil is higher, and the yield of the metal mask plate is improved.
In addition, in order to obtain a finished metal mask plate, there is a subsequent step after step S107:
s108, cutting the patterned metal foil into metal mask strips according to set dimensions.
S109, a plurality of metal mask strips are welded and fixed on the screen frame after being precisely aligned, and redundant parts are cut off to form a precise metal mask plate.
According to an aspect of the present application, there is provided a precision metal mask plate manufactured by the above manufacturing process, the precision metal mask plate having a plurality of through holes penetrating through a body in a thickness direction. The through holes are arranged to form a required pattern.
Preferably, the accuracy of the size of the through hole is less than or equal to +/-1.5 mu m. The dimensional accuracy refers to the degree of closeness of the actual numerical value of the aperture to the design numerical value, i.e., the difference between the actual numerical value of the aperture and the design numerical value is controlled to be less than or equal to + -1.5 μm.
Additional aspects and advantages of the application will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the application.
