請合併參考圖6A與圖6B,其中圖6A是繪示上述步驟(c)的結構示意圖,圖6B為圖6A沿B-B’方向的剖面圖。步驟(c),同步圖案化第一導電層21和第二導電層22,以分別形成圖案化複合導電層23以及周邊引綫2,如圖6A及圖6B所示。其中,周邊引線2分別電性連接於圖案化複合導電層23,且圖案化複合導電層23大致上位於基板20的可視區域VA,周邊引線2大致上位於基板20的周邊區域SA。Please refer to FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B in combination, wherein FIG. 6A is a schematic structural view of the above step (c), and FIG. 6B is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 6A along the B-B' direction. In step (c), the first conductive layer 21 and the second conductive layer 22 are synchronously patterned to form a patterned composite conductive layer 23 and a peripheral lead, respectively, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B. The peripheral leads 2 are electrically connected to the patterned composite conductive layer 23, and the patterned composite conductive layer 23 is substantially located in the visible region VA of the substrate 20, and the peripheral leads 2 are located substantially in the peripheral region SA of the substrate 20.

於本實施例,較佳地,是採用一雷射蝕刻方式同时圖案化第一導電層21和第二導電層22。依照所要形成的圖案,利用雷射劃線蝕刻機,控制合適的雷射蝕刻參數,同時將第二導電層22與其下方的第一導電層21所需蝕刻的部份蝕刻完全,且避免蝕刻到第一導電層21下的基板20,例如塑膠基板。在一實施例中,雷射蝕刻選用波長1064 nm的雷射光束,並搭配下列參數:功率3W,雷射頻率70K,劃線速度1000mm/s,按照上述參數,可蝕刻出線寬和線距為30±5μm的周邊引線2。在另一實施例中,雷射蝕刻選用波長355 nm的雷射光束,並搭配下列參數:功率0.7W,雷射頻率100K,劃線速度1000mm/s,按照上述參數,可蝕刻出線寬和線距為15±5μm的周邊引線2。故通過調整鐳射蝕刻時所使用的波長和其他相關參數,可得到線寬為10μm至35μm的周邊引線。由於雷射蝕刻精度上較容易控制,使用本實施例的製作方法,周邊引線2的線距可達到大約10μm至35μm。In this embodiment, preferably, the first conductive layer 21 and the second conductive layer 22 are patterned by a laser etching method. According to the pattern to be formed, the laser etching line is used to control the appropriate laser etching parameters, and the portion of the second conductive layer 22 and the underlying first conductive layer 21 to be etched is completely etched, and etching is avoided. The substrate 20 under the first conductive layer 21, such as a plastic substrate. In one embodiment, the laser beam is selected from a laser beam having a wavelength of 1064 nm and is matched with the following parameters: power 3 W, laser frequency 70 K, and scribing speed 1000 mm/s. According to the above parameters, the line width and the line spacing can be etched. It is a peripheral lead 2 of 30 ± 5 μm. In another embodiment, the laser lithography uses a laser beam with a wavelength of 355 nm and is matched with the following parameters: power 0.7 W, laser frequency 100 K, and scribing speed 1000 mm/s. According to the above parameters, the line width can be etched. The peripheral lead 2 has a line pitch of 15 ± 5 μm. Therefore, by adjusting the wavelength and other related parameters used in the laser etching, peripheral leads having a line width of 10 μm to 35 μm can be obtained. Since the laser etching precision is relatively easy to control, the line pitch of the peripheral leads 2 can be about 10 μm to 35 μm using the manufacturing method of the present embodiment.

在本發明另一實施例中,是採用微影蝕刻的方式同步圖案化第一導電層21和第二導電層22。在本實施例中,在上述步驟(b)完成後,先形成一光阻層於第二導電層22上,再經過前烘乾、曝光、顯影、後烘乾、蝕刻、剝膜等工序形成圖案化複合導電層23以及周邊引綫2。In another embodiment of the present invention, the first conductive layer 21 and the second conductive layer 22 are simultaneously patterned by photolithography. In this embodiment, after the step (b) is completed, a photoresist layer is formed on the second conductive layer 22, and then formed by processes such as drying, exposure, development, post-baking, etching, and stripping. The patterned composite conductive layer 23 and the peripheral lead 綫

請合併參考圖7A與圖7B,其中圖7A是繪示上述步驟(d)的結構示意圖,圖7B為圖7A沿C-C’方向的剖面圖。步驟(d) 移除圖案化複合導電層23中的第二導電層22以形成電極1,其中該些周邊引線2電性連接至對應的該些電極1,如圖7A及圖7B所示。例如,利用乾蝕刻或濕蝕刻移除第二導電層22。於本實施例,可視區域VA中圖案化複合導電層23中的第二導電層22,可通過一蝕刻液蝕刻移除,其中由於第一導電層21與第二導電層22具有相異的蝕刻屬性,因此可選用適當的蝕刻液,使該蝕刻液僅會對第二導電層22有蝕刻作用,卻不會對第一導電層21有蝕刻作用。因此,蝕刻液的選用需根據第二導電層22的材料來確定,例如,如果第二導電層22的材質為鉬-鋁-鉬(Mo-Al-Mo)合金,則使用醋酸-硝酸-磷酸溶液作為蝕刻液;如果第二導電層22的材質為銅,則使用氯化鐵溶液作為蝕刻液。Referring to FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B in combination, FIG. 7A is a schematic structural view of the above step (d), and FIG. 7B is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 7A along the C-C' direction. Step (d) The second conductive layer 22 in the patterned composite conductive layer 23 is removed to form the electrode 1, wherein the peripheral leads 2 are electrically connected to the corresponding electrodes 1, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B. For example, the second conductive layer 22 is removed using dry etching or wet etching. In this embodiment, the second conductive layer 22 in the patterned composite conductive layer 23 in the visible region VA can be removed by an etching solution, wherein the first conductive layer 21 and the second conductive layer 22 have different etchings. Attributes, therefore, an appropriate etching solution can be selected so that the etching solution can only etch the second conductive layer 22 without etching the first conductive layer 21. Therefore, the selection of the etching solution is determined according to the material of the second conductive layer 22, for example, if the material of the second conductive layer 22 is a molybdenum-aluminum-molybdenum (Mo-Al-Mo) alloy, acetic acid-nitric acid-phosphoric acid is used. The solution is used as an etching solution; if the material of the second conductive layer 22 is copper, a ferric chloride solution is used as an etching solution.

圖8為製作上述觸控感應層的另一方法流程圖。本實施例與上述方法實施例的區別之處在於:於步驟(c)與步驟(d)之間更包含一步驟(e),即形成一保護層24在周邊引線2上,並使圖案化複合導電層23裸露。請合併參考圖9A與圖9B,其中圖9A是繪示上述步驟(e)的結構示意圖,圖9B為圖9A沿D-D’方向的剖面圖。在一實施例中,保護層24係採用絲網印刷方式形成的一防蝕刻油墨層,以遮蔽並保護周邊區域SA的周邊引線2,同時暴露出位於可視區域VA的圖案化複合導電層23;接著,以加熱或紫外光照射方式固化處理防蝕刻油墨層。於另一實施例中,以絲網印刷方法,在周邊區域SA印刷可剝離膠層24以保護周邊引線2,同時暴露出位於可視區域VA的圖案化複合導電層23;接著,通過紫外光或加熱方式使可剝離膠層固化。形成保護層24後,再進行步驟(d)的移除第二導電層22動作,以防止周邊引線2在步驟(d)的過程中被腐蝕。FIG. 8 is a flow chart of another method of fabricating the touch sensing layer. The embodiment is different from the above method embodiment in that a step (e) is further included between the step (c) and the step (d), that is, a protective layer 24 is formed on the peripheral lead 2 and patterned. The composite conductive layer 23 is bare. Referring to FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B, FIG. 9A is a schematic structural view of the above step (e), and FIG. 9B is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 9A along the D-D' direction. In one embodiment, the protective layer 24 is an anti-etching ink layer formed by screen printing to shield and protect the peripheral leads 2 of the peripheral region SA while exposing the patterned composite conductive layer 23 located in the visible region VA; Next, the anti-etching ink layer is cured by heating or ultraviolet light irradiation. In another embodiment, the peelable adhesive layer 24 is printed in the peripheral region SA by a screen printing method to protect the peripheral leads 2 while exposing the patterned composite conductive layer 23 in the visible region VA; then, through ultraviolet light or The heating method cures the peelable adhesive layer. After the protective layer 24 is formed, the removal of the second conductive layer 22 in step (d) is performed to prevent the peripheral leads 2 from being corroded during the step (d).

在本發明一實施例中,於步驟(d)之後更包含一步驟(f),即移除上述保護層24。於本實施例,使用一剝膜液移除保護層24,例如氫氧化鉀(KOH)溶液,將防蝕刻油墨24或可剝離膠24剝離。In an embodiment of the invention, after step (d), a step (f) is further included, that is, the protective layer 24 is removed. In the present embodiment, the protective layer 24, such as a potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution, is removed using a stripping solution to strip the anti-etching ink 24 or the peelable paste 24.

在本實施例中,其餘步驟及使用材料皆與上述方法實施例類似,在此不再贅述。In the present embodiment, the remaining steps and the materials used are similar to the above method embodiments, and are not described herein again.

藉由上述方法,即可在基板20上形成觸控感應層10。The touch sensing layer 10 can be formed on the substrate 20 by the above method.
