Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an etching technique for uniformly thinning a glass substrate. In particular, it relates to a glass substrate uniform thinning apparatus for high-density etching. [Prior Art] In the conventional flat panel display, a glass substrate is used, and the technique of uniformly thinning the glass substrate in the process is very important, and it is known that a feasible method is achieved by wet etching. For example, in the technique disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. 543 1 13 "Automatic sculpt device for glass substrate for TFT LCD and money engraving method", a porous bubbling device is disposed inside the surname groove, and is disposed on the bubbling device side. There is a plate-carrying device that introduces a lot of nitrogen (NO bubbles to agitate the hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching solution. This way, the hydrodynamic physical phenomenon is felt, and the ideal flow field cannot be produced, and there is a problem that the amount of HF rolling increases. Therefore, in order to avoid the outward emission of toxic HF gas during etching, a gas curtain device is installed, and although the air curtain device is insulated from the outside environment, the metal component of the machine cannot be solved by HF corrosion. Body, and cause serious human hazard 'work safety and environmental protection issues. In addition, the nitrogen gas bubbling device (N2 buble) and the flow guiding device only consider the smooth characteristics 'has not considered whether the glass substrate is HF etched, whether it is sufficient and complete Fluid shear and inertial force' removes residual and precipitated fluoroantimonate particles on the surface of the glass substrate. This particle remains on the surface of the glass substrate, not only In order to solve the above problems, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a glass substrate with a thinner sentence i, which can remove the slope. Residual and precipitated fluorite particles on the surface of the glass substrate can densely arrange the glass substrate in the groove and achieve a more uniform surface etching effect.
