等离子体刻蚀法的原理为: 等离子体刻蚀时采用高频辉光放点反应, 使 反应气体激活成活性粒子, 如原子或游离基, 这些活性粒子扩散到需要刻蚀 的部位, 在那里与被刻蚀材料进行反应, 形成挥发性生成物而被去除。 它的 优势在于快速刻蚀速率同时可获得良好的物理形貌。 这种刻蚀方法也叫做干 法刻蚀。  The principle of the plasma etching method is as follows: In the plasma etching, a high-frequency glow discharge reaction is used to activate the reaction gas into active particles, such as atoms or radicals, and the active particles diffuse to the portion to be etched, where they are The etching material is reacted to form a volatile product and removed. Its advantage is the fast etch rate while achieving good physical topography. This etching method is also called dry etching.
反应离子刻蚀(RIE, Reactive Ion Etching )法的原理为: 当在平板电极 之间施加例如 10MHZ-100MHZ的高频电压(RF, Radio Frequency ) 时会产 生数百微米厚的离子层(ion sheath ) , 在其中放入待刻蚀物体, 离子高速撞 击待刻蚀物体而完成化学反应蚀刻。  The principle of the Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) method is: When a high frequency voltage (RF, Radio Frequency) of, for example, 10 MHz to 100 MHz is applied between the plate electrodes, an ion layer of several hundred micrometers is generated. ), the object to be etched is placed therein, and the ion strikes the object to be etched at a high speed to complete the chemical reaction etching.
如图 5所示, 采用湿法刻蚀或干法刻蚀工艺, 刻蚀待切割区域所对应的 显示面板后, 显示面板 1包括已刻蚀区域 12。 时, 并非完全切割, 可以留下例如 0.05mm至 0.15mm余量, 即显示面板的 上表面的已刻蚀区域与显示面板的下表面的已刻蚀区域之间的距离在 0.05mm至 0.15mm的范围内, 这是为了防止外部的刻蚀损坏显示面板内部。 As shown in FIG. 5, the wet etching or dry etching process is used to etch the corresponding area to be cut. After the display panel, the display panel 1 includes the etched area 12. When not completely cut, a margin of, for example, 0.05 mm to 0.15 mm may be left, that is, the distance between the etched region of the upper surface of the display panel and the etched region of the lower surface of the display panel is 0.05 mm to 0.15 mm. Within the scope of this, it is to prevent external etching from damaging the inside of the display panel.
进一步地, 例如, 显示面板可以为液晶显示面板或有机发光二极管 ( OLED, Organic Light-Emitting Diode )显示面板, 本发明不#文限制。  Further, for example, the display panel may be a liquid crystal display panel or an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel, which is not limited by the present invention.
