In the frame region, a plurality of wires drawn from the display region are formed in order to connect the circuit for detecting the touch position.

形成前述邊框區域的配線之方法,例如下述專利文獻1所揭露的,在包含金屬氧化物的電極層之上面,塗布銀漿(Silver paste)來形成配線的方法。但是,近年來,為了因應智慧型手機以及平板終端(tablet terminator)等小型高性能所需求的終端顯示裝置,要求降低配線材料的電阻值。在此,檢討使用比銀漿電阻低的銅為配線材料。 A method of forming a wiring of the frame region is, for example, a method of forming a wiring by applying a silver paste on an electrode layer containing a metal oxide as disclosed in Patent Document 1 below. However, in recent years, in order to respond to small-sized high-performance terminal devices such as smart phones and tablet terminators, it is required to reduce the resistance value of wiring materials. Here, it is reviewed that copper having a lower resistance than the silver paste is used as the wiring material.

使用銅為配線材料來形成前述邊框區域的配線之方法,檢討在包含金屬氧化物的電極層上形成銅層,按順序執 行前述銅層的圖案化與前述電極層的圖案化的方法。此一方法,首先,使用將銅溶解的蝕刻液,對電極層上的銅層蝕刻形成銅配線圖案後,使用不溶解銅,而溶解金屬氧化物的蝕刻液,來蝕刻在銅配線圖案間透出的電極層(金屬氧化物層),而形成包含圖案化的電極層以及銅配線圖案的積層配線圖案的方法。 A method of forming wiring of the aforementioned frame region using copper as a wiring material, and reviewing formation of a copper layer on an electrode layer containing a metal oxide, in order A method of patterning the copper layer and patterning the electrode layer.

Therefore, it is difficult to improve productivity.

另外,在包含金屬氧化物的電極層上形成銅層,使用能夠蝕刻銅及金屬氧化物兩者的蝕刻液,但也檢討在銅配線圖案形成後,蝕刻,在同一蝕刻槽內對該銅配線圖案間所露出的金屬氧化物進行蝕刻的方法(以下稱為「一起蝕刻」)。採用前述一起蝕刻之情況,因銅配線圖案的形成與金屬氧化物的蝕刻係在同一蝕刻液中進行,在溶液管理上,因為是在同一蝕刻槽內進行,可提升生產性。 Further, a copper layer is formed on the electrode layer containing the metal oxide, and an etching liquid capable of etching both copper and metal oxide is used. However, after the formation of the copper wiring pattern, etching is performed, and the copper wiring is formed in the same etching groove.

[配線形成方法] [Wiring formation method]

接著參照圖1(a)~(c)來說明本發明的配線形成方法。圖1(a)~(c)為示意顯示本發明的配線形成方法一個實施形態步驟剖面圖。 Next, a wiring forming method of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1(a) to 1(c). 1(a) to 1(c) are cross-sectional views schematically showing the steps of a method of forming a wiring of the present invention.

首先,如圖1(a)所示,準備包含基材1與在基材1上依序形成的金屬氧化物層2,銅層3以及罩蓋金屬層4的積層板100,在此一積層板100的罩蓋金屬層4上形成光阻圖案5。光阻圖案5,通常形成為線寬(L)/線距(S)=1μm/1μm~100μm/100μm程度之圖案。又積層板也可以是在銅層上沒有罩蓋金屬層者。於銅層上沒有形成罩蓋金屬層的情況,在銅層上形成光阻圖案。 First, as shown in FIG. 1(a), a laminate 100 including a substrate 1 and a metal oxide layer 2, a copper layer 3, and a cap metal layer 4 which are sequentially formed on the substrate 1 is prepared, and a laminate is formed thereon. A photoresist pattern 5 is formed on the cap metal layer 4 of the board 100. The photoresist pattern 5 is usually formed in a pattern having a line width (L) / line pitch (S) = 1 μm / 1 μm to 100 μm / 100 μm. The laminated board may also be one in which no metal layer is covered on the copper layer. In the case where a cap metal layer is not formed on the copper layer, a photoresist pattern is formed on the copper layer.

基材1可以使用聚對苯二甲酸乙二醇酯薄膜(PET薄膜)等之樹脂基材,或玻璃基材。金屬氧化物層2為包含由鋅、錫、鋁、銦和鎵所構成群組中選出的一種以上之金屬 的氧化物之層,在基材1上直接,或介入由SiO2等所構成的底塗層來設置。在基材上設置金屬氧化物層2之方法,例如可採用真空蒸著、噴濺等公知方法。金屬氧化物層2的厚度較佳為5~200nm的程度。 As the substrate 1, a resin substrate such as a polyethylene terephthalate film (PET film) or a glass substrate can be used. The metal oxide layer 2 is a layer containing an oxide of one or more metals selected from the group consisting of zinc, tin, aluminum, indium, and gallium, directly on the substrate 1, or interposed by SiO 2 or the like. The undercoat is set. A method of providing the metal oxide layer 2 on the substrate may be, for example, a known method such as vacuum evaporation or sputtering. The thickness of the metal oxide layer 2 is preferably about 5 to 200 nm.

構成金屬氧化物層2的金屬氧化物,可以為單一金屬氧化物,也可以為複合金屬氧化物。例如,ZnO、SnO2、Al2O3、氧化銦錫(ITO)、氧化銦鋅(IZO),或者對於ZnO導入異種金屬的複合金屬氧化物等。作為前述ZnO導入異種金屬的複合金屬氧化物,例如為導入鋁的AZO,與導入鎵的GZO等。尤其,由鋅、錫及鋁所構成的群組中選出的一種以上的金屬之氧化物以圖案形成性之觀點而言為較佳,更佳為由ITO、IZO、AZO及GZO選出一種以上之金屬氧化物。 The metal oxide constituting the metal oxide layer 2 may be a single metal oxide or a composite metal oxide. For example, ZnO, SnO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), or a composite metal oxide in which a dissimilar metal is introduced into ZnO. The composite metal oxide into which the dissimilar metal is introduced as the ZnO is, for example, AZO to which aluminum is introduced, GZO to which gallium is introduced, or the like. In particular, an oxide of one or more metals selected from the group consisting of zinc, tin, and aluminum is preferable from the viewpoint of pattern formability, and more preferably one or more selected from the group consisting of ITO, IZO, AZO, and GZO. Metal oxide.

前述金屬氧化物雖可以為非晶質或結晶質的任一種金屬氧化物,但在結晶質之情況,於導電性及耐久性的提升上較理想。在金屬氧化物為結晶質之情況,以往的蝕刻液,蝕刻銅比蝕刻金屬氧化物更容易,故蝕刻金屬氧化物之際,難以抑制銅配線圖案7(圖1(b)參照)的側蝕。如後面所述,依據本實施形態的配線方法,因為使用上述本發明的蝕刻液,金屬氧化物即使為結晶質也能夠抑制銅配線圖案7的側蝕。 The metal oxide may be any amorphous or crystalline metal oxide, but in the case of crystallinity, it is preferable in terms of improvement in conductivity and durability. In the case where the metal oxide is crystalline, it is easier to etch the copper than the conventional etching solution. Therefore, when the metal oxide is etched, it is difficult to suppress the side etching of the copper wiring pattern 7 (refer to FIG. 1(b)). . As described later, according to the wiring method of the present embodiment, the etching solution of the present invention described above can suppress the side etching of the copper wiring pattern 7 even if the metal oxide is crystalline.

又,金屬氧化物是否為結晶質,例如,藉場發射穿透式電子顯微鏡(FE-TEM)來觀察金屬氧化物之表面而能夠判別。在金屬氧化物為結晶質之情況,例如可以觀察到多角形或長圓形狀之結晶粒。於本發明中,結晶質之金屬氧化物藉前述場發射穿透式電子顯微鏡(FE-TEM)觀察金屬氧化物表面之場合,前述結晶粒所占的面積比例超過50%者為佳,較佳是前述結晶粒所占的面積比例為從70%至100%的金屬氧化物。 Further, whether or not the metal oxide is crystalline, for example, can be discriminated by observing the surface of the metal oxide by a field emission transmission electron microscope (FE-TEM). In the case where the metal oxide is crystalline, for example, a polygonal or oblong-shaped crystal grain can be observed. In the present invention, in the case where the crystalline metal oxide is observed by the field emission transmission electron microscope (FE-TEM), the area ratio of the crystal grains is preferably 50% or more. It is a metal oxide having an area ratio of the aforementioned crystal grains of from 70% to 100%.

銅層3可藉例如真空蒸著、噴濺等公知方法來形成在金屬氧化物層2上。銅層3之較佳厚度為20~1000nm的程度。 The copper layer 3 can be formed on the metal oxide layer 2 by a known method such as vacuum evaporation or sputtering. The copper layer 3 preferably has a thickness of 20 to 1000 nm.

為了銅層3的防鏽等,可根據必要性在銅層3上設置罩蓋金屬層4。作為罩蓋金屬層4的材質,例如為鋁、鈦、鉻、鈷、鎳、鋅、鉬、銀,以及此等金屬與銅的合金等。但是,銅層3在由銅合金所構成的情況,罩蓋金屬層4較佳為與銅層3之材質不同的銅合金,或銅以外的合金所構成者。尤其,從銅層3的防鏽之觀點,以及圖案形成性之觀點而言,鎳、鉬,以及此等金屬與銅的合金選出一種以上者為佳。特別是,鎳/銅之重量比率為30/70~70/30的鎳-銅合金為佳。 For the rust prevention or the like of the copper layer 3, the cap metal layer 4 may be provided on the copper layer 3 as necessary. The material of the cover metal layer 4 is, for example, aluminum, titanium, chromium, cobalt, nickel, zinc, molybdenum, silver, or an alloy of such a metal and copper. However, when the copper layer 3 is made of a copper alloy, the cover metal layer 4 is preferably made of a copper alloy different from the material of the copper layer 3 or an alloy other than copper. In particular, from the viewpoint of rust prevention of the copper layer 3 and the pattern formability, it is preferable to select one or more of nickel, molybdenum, and alloys of such metals and copper. In particular, a nickel-copper alloy having a nickel/copper weight ratio of 30/70 to 70/30 is preferred.

罩蓋金屬層4可以由單層來構成,也可以由複數層來 構成。罩蓋金屬層4之厚度較佳為5~200nm程度。罩蓋金屬層4之形成方法,例如為真空蒸著、噴濺等的公知方法。 The cover metal layer 4 may be composed of a single layer or may be composed of a plurality of layers. Composition. The thickness of the cap metal layer 4 is preferably about 5 to 200 nm. The method of forming the cover metal layer 4 is, for example, a known method such as vacuum evaporation or sputtering.

其次,讓前述本發明之蝕刻液接觸銅層3,形成如圖1所示的銅配線圖案7。再者,讓前述本發明之蝕刻液接觸金屬氧化物層2之未積層銅配線圖案7之處(圖1(b)之露出部分8),藉由形成圖1(c)所示的金屬氧化物配線圖案9,而獲得包含金屬氧化物配線圖案9、及銅配線圖案7的積層配線圖案10。在銅層3上形成罩蓋金屬4之情況,在前述本發明之蝕刻液接觸銅層3之前,讓前述本發明之蝕刻液接觸罩蓋金屬層4,形成如圖1(b)所示的罩蓋金屬配線圖案6。此一情況,積層配線圖案10如圖1(c)所示,在銅配線圖案7上具有罩蓋金屬配線圖案6。本實施形態中,藉由使本發明的蝕刻液接觸積層板100表面之光阻圖案5未積層之領域,而獲得預定形狀的積層配線圖案10。 Next, the etching liquid of the present invention is brought into contact with the copper layer 3 to form a copper wiring pattern 7 as shown in FIG. Further, the etching liquid of the present invention is brought into contact with the unlaminated copper wiring pattern 7 of the metal oxide layer 2 (exposed portion 8 of FIG. 1(b)) by forming the metal oxide shown in FIG. 1(c). The wiring pattern 9 is obtained, and the multilayer wiring pattern 10 including the metal oxide wiring pattern 9 and the copper wiring pattern 7 is obtained. In the case where the cap metal 4 is formed on the copper layer 3, before the etching liquid of the present invention contacts the copper layer 3, the etching liquid of the present invention is brought into contact with the cap metal layer 4 to form a metal layer 4 as shown in FIG. 1(b). The metal wiring pattern 6 is covered. In this case, the multilayer wiring pattern 10 has the cover metal wiring pattern 6 on the copper wiring pattern 7 as shown in FIG. 1(c). In the present embodiment, the etching liquid of the present invention is brought into contact with the field in which the photoresist pattern 5 on the surface of the laminated board 100 is not laminated, whereby the laminated wiring pattern 10 having a predetermined shape is obtained.

本實施形態,藉由使用前述本發明之蝕刻液形成銅配線圖案7,而能夠抑制形成銅配線圖案7之際的罩蓋金屬配線圖案6的側蝕。再者,藉由使用前述本發明之蝕刻液形成金屬氧化物配線圖案9,而能夠抑制形成金屬氧化物配線圖案9之際的罩蓋金屬配線圖案6以及銅配線圖案7的側蝕。藉此,可以抑制罩蓋金屬配線圖案6的線寬W1及銅配線圖案7的線寬W2之變細。 In the present embodiment, by forming the copper wiring pattern 7 using the etching liquid of the present invention, it is possible to suppress the side etching of the cap metal wiring pattern 6 when the copper wiring pattern 7 is formed. In addition, by forming the metal oxide wiring pattern 9 using the etching liquid of the present invention, it is possible to suppress the side etching of the cap metal wiring pattern 6 and the copper wiring pattern 7 when the metal oxide wiring pattern 9 is formed. Thereby, the line width W1 of the cover metal wiring pattern 6 and the line width W2 of the copper wiring pattern 7 can be suppressed from being thinned.

又,在形成由與銅層3不同的材質所構成的罩蓋金屬層4之情況,若以以往的蝕刻液蝕刻銅層3與金屬氧化物層2,則因賈凡尼腐蝕(Galvanic Corrosion),恐會進行銅配線層7的側蝕。但是使用本發明的蝕刻液的情況,銅層3上即使形成不同金屬的罩蓋金屬層4,也能夠抑制銅配線層7的側蝕。 Further, in the case where the cap metal layer 4 made of a material different from the copper layer 3 is formed, when the copper layer 3 and the metal oxide layer 2 are etched by a conventional etching solution, Galvanic Corrosion is etched. It is feared that the side wiring of the copper wiring layer 7 will be performed. However, in the case of using the etching liquid of the present invention, even if the cap metal layer 4 of a different metal is formed on the copper layer 3, the side etching of the copper wiring layer 7 can be suppressed.

本發明的蝕刻液之使用方法沒有特別限制,例如為,在積層板100表面之光阻圖案5未積層之區域,噴灑前述蝕刻液之方法、或將設有光阻圖案5的積層板100浸漬於前述蝕刻液中的方法等。 The method of using the etching liquid of the present invention is not particularly limited, and for example, a method of spraying the etching liquid or a layer of the laminated plate 100 provided with the photoresist pattern 5 in a region where the photoresist pattern 5 on the surface of the laminated board 100 is not laminated is used. The method in the etching solution described above.

在噴灑蝕刻液的情況,較佳以前述蝕刻液之溫度保持30~60℃,噴灑壓力0.03~0.3MPa來處理。在浸漬蝕刻液之情況,較佳以前述蝕刻液之溫度保持30~60℃來處理。 In the case of spraying the etching liquid, it is preferred to treat the temperature of the etching liquid at 30 to 60 ° C and a spraying pressure of 0.03 to 0.3 MPa. In the case of immersing the etching liquid, it is preferred to treat the temperature of the etching liquid at 30 to 60 ° C.

本發明之實施形態,藉由使前述蝕刻液接觸積層板100表面之光阻圖案5未積層之區域蝕刻罩蓋金屬層4而形成罩蓋金屬配線圖案6,使蝕刻液接觸因罩蓋金屬層4的蝕刻所形成銅層3之露出部分而蝕刻銅層3,以形成銅配線圖案7。再者,藉由蝕刻液接觸因銅層3之蝕刻所形成的金屬氧化物層2之露出部分8而蝕刻金屬氧化物層2並形成金屬氧化物配線圖案9。如前述,本發明之蝕刻液 對於銅及金屬氧化物兩者都有侵蝕性。因此,在銅層3被蝕刻形成銅配線圖案7後,也可以繼續蝕刻金屬氧化物層2。亦即,本實施形態中,前述本發明之蝕刻液接觸銅層3,與前述本發明之蝕刻液接觸金屬氧化物層2可作為連續步驟來實施。 In the embodiment of the present invention, the cover metal wiring pattern 6 is formed by etching the cover metal layer 4 in a region where the etching liquid contacts the photoresist pattern 5 on the surface of the laminated board 100, and the etching liquid contacts the metal layer of the cover. The exposed portion of the copper layer 3 is formed by etching 4 to etch the copper layer 3 to form the copper wiring pattern 7. Further, the metal oxide layer 2 is etched by the etching liquid in contact with the exposed portion 8 of the metal oxide layer 2 formed by the etching of the copper layer 3, and the metal oxide wiring pattern 9 is formed. As described above, the etching solution of the present invention It is erosive for both copper and metal oxides. Therefore, after the copper layer 3 is etched to form the copper wiring pattern 7, the metal oxide layer 2 can be continuously etched. That is, in the present embodiment, the etching liquid of the present invention is in contact with the copper layer 3, and the contact with the etching liquid of the present invention in the metal oxide layer 2 can be carried out as a continuous step.

又,於本發明的實施形態中,罩蓋金屬層4之蝕刻處理與銅層3的蝕刻處理與金屬氧化物層2的蝕刻處理,可以在同一蝕刻槽中進行,也可以在各別蝕刻槽中進行。罩蓋金屬層4、銅層3及金屬氧化物層2若在相同蝕刻槽中處理,則能夠減少蝕刻步驟,而且蝕刻液管理亦被簡化,所以較佳。 Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the etching treatment of the cap metal layer 4, the etching treatment of the copper layer 3, and the etching treatment of the metal oxide layer 2 may be performed in the same etching bath, or may be performed in the respective etching grooves. In progress. When the cap metal layer 4, the copper layer 3, and the metal oxide layer 2 are treated in the same etching bath, the etching step can be reduced, and the etching liquid management is also simplified, which is preferable.

罩蓋金屬層4之蝕刻與銅層3的蝕刻與金屬氧化物層2的蝕刻於各別蝕刻槽中進行時,在各別蝕刻槽中使用的蝕刻液之調配,可以為同一組成,也可以為不同組成。再者,複數蝕刻槽並沒有分別對應罩蓋金屬層4、銅層3以及金屬氧化物層2的蝕刻處理之必要。例如,於第一蝕刻槽中,除罩蓋金屬層4以及銅層3外,進行金屬氧化物層2之深度方向的一部分蝕刻處理後,也可以於第二蝕刻槽再對金屬氧化物層2進行蝕刻處理,而形成金屬氧化物層配線圖案9。 When the etching of the cap metal layer 4 and the etching of the copper layer 3 and the etching of the metal oxide layer 2 are performed in the respective etching grooves, the etching liquid used in the respective etching grooves may be the same composition or may be the same composition. For different compositions. Furthermore, the plurality of etching grooves do not necessarily correspond to the etching treatment of the cap metal layer 4, the copper layer 3, and the metal oxide layer 2, respectively. For example, in the first etching trench, after a part of the etching process in the depth direction of the metal oxide layer 2 is performed in addition to the cap metal layer 4 and the copper layer 3, the metal oxide layer 2 may be further applied to the second etching trench. An etching process is performed to form a metal oxide layer wiring pattern 9.

以上,說明有關本發明的配線形成方法的一個實施形 態,但本發明不為前述實施形態所限制。例如,前述實施形態雖然將罩蓋金屬層以本發明的蝕刻液來蝕刻,但也能夠以和本發明的蝕刻液不同的蝕刻液來蝕刻。再者,前述實施形態,雖主要以設置罩蓋金屬層之案例來說明,但本發明的配線形成方法也可以使用於沒有設置罩蓋金屬層的積層板。 The above describes an embodiment of the wiring forming method of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited by the foregoing embodiments. For example, in the above embodiment, the cap metal layer is etched by the etching liquid of the present invention, but it can be etched with an etching liquid different from the etching liquid of the present invention. Further, although the above embodiment has been mainly described by the case of providing a cover metal layer, the wiring forming method of the present invention can also be applied to a laminated board in which a cover metal layer is not provided.

The laminated wiring pattern was formed in the following order using this laminated board.
