본 발명은 은 식각액 조성물 및 이를 이용한 표시 기판에 관한 것으로, 보다 자세하게는 (a) 인산(H3PO44), (b) 질산(HNO3), (c) 아세트산(CH3COOH), (d) 인산염 화합물, (e) 나트륨계 화합물 및 (f) 물을 포함하는 은 식각액 조성물 및 이를 이용한 표시 기판에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a silver etchant composition and a display substrate using the same, and more particularly, (a) phosphoric acid (H 3 PO4 4 ), (b) nitric acid (HNO 3 ), (c) acetic acid (CH 3 COOH), (d) ) A silver etchant composition comprising a phosphate compound, (e) a sodium-based compound, and (f) water, and a display substrate using the same.

본격적인 정보화 시대로 접어들게 됨에 따라 대량의 정보를 처리 및 표시하는 디스플레이 분야가 급속도로 발전해 왔으며, 이에 부응하여 다양한 평판 디스플레이가 개발되어 각광받고 있다.As we enter the information age in earnest, the field of display that processes and displays a large amount of information has developed rapidly, and various flat panel displays have been developed and are in the spotlight in response to this.

이러한 평판디스플레이 장치의 예로는 액정디스플레이장치(Liquid Crystal Display device: LCD), 플라즈마디스플레이장치(Plasma Display Panel device : PDP), 전계방출디스플레이장치(Field Emission Display device : FED), 전기발광디스플레이장치(Electroluminescence Display device : ELD), 유기발광디스플레이(OrgaNic Light Emitting Diodes : OLED) 등을 들 수 있으며, 이러한 평판디스플레이 장치는 텔레비전이나 비디오 등의 가전분야 뿐만 아니라 노트북과 같은 컴퓨터 및 핸드폰 등에 다양한 용도로 사용되고 있다. 이들 평판디스플레이 장치는 박형화, 경량화, 및 저소비전력화 등의 우수한 성능으로 인하여 기존에 사용되었던 브라운관(Cathode Ray Tube : NIT)을 빠르게 대체하고 있는 실정이다. Examples of such a flat panel display device include a liquid crystal display device (LCD), a plasma display panel device (PDP), a field emission display device (FED), and an electroluminescence display device (Electroluminescence). Display device: ELD), organic light emitting display (OrgaNic Light Emitting Diodes: OLED), etc. are mentioned, and these flat panel display devices are used for various purposes such as computers and mobile phones such as laptops as well as home appliances such as televisions and videos. These flat panel display devices are rapidly replacing conventional cathode ray tubes (NITs) due to their excellent performance such as thinness, weight reduction, and low power consumption.

특히 OLED는 소자 자체적으로 빛을 발광하며 저전압에서도 구동될 수 있기 때문에 최근 휴대기기 등의 소형 디스플레이 시장에 빠르게 적용되고 있다. 또한 OLED는 소형 디스플레이를 넘어서 대형 TV의 상용화를 목전에 둔 상태이다.In particular, OLEDs emit light by themselves and can be driven at low voltages, so they are rapidly being applied to small display markets such as portable devices. In addition, OLED is on the verge of commercialization of large TVs beyond small displays.

한편, 산화주석인듐(Indium Tin Oxide, ITO)과 산화아연인듐(Indium Zinc Oxide, IZO)과 같은 도전성 금속은 빛에 대한 투과율이 비교적 뛰어나고, 도전성을 가지므로 평판디스플레이장치에 사용되는 칼라필터의 전극으로 널리 쓰이고 있다. 그러나 이들 금속들 또한 높은 저항을 가져 응답속도의 개선을 통한 평판표시장치의 대형화 및 고해상도 실현에 장애가 되고 있다.On the other hand, conductive metals such as indium tin oxide (ITO) and indium zinc oxide (IZO) have relatively excellent light transmittance and conductivity, so the electrode of a color filter used in a flat panel display device. is widely used as However, these metals also have high resistance, which is an obstacle to enlargement of the flat panel display and realization of high resolution through improvement of response speed.

또한, 반사판의 경우 과거 알루미늄(Al) 반사판을 주로 제품에 이용해왔으나, 휘도 향상을 통한 저전력 소비실현을 위해서는 반사율이 더 높은 금속으로의 재료변경을 모색하고 있는 상태이다. 이를 위해 평판디스플레이장치에 적용되고 있는 금속들에 비해 낮은 비저항과 높은 휘도를 가지고 있는 은(Ag: 비저항 약 1.59μΩ㎝)막, 은합금 또는 이를 포함한 다층막을 칼라필터의 전극, LCD 또는 OLED 배선 및 반사판에 적용, 평판표시장치의 대형화와 고 해상도 및 저전력 소비 등을 실현하고자 하여, 이 재료의 적용을 위한 식각액의 개발이 요구되었다.In the case of reflectors, aluminum (Al) reflectors have been mainly used in products in the past, but in order to realize low power consumption through improved luminance, they are seeking to change materials to metals with higher reflectance. For this purpose, a silver (Ag: resistivity about 1.59 μΩcm) film, a silver alloy, or a multilayer film containing the same, which has a lower resistivity and higher luminance than metals applied to flat panel display devices, is used for color filter electrodes, LCD or OLED wiring and The development of an etchant for the application of this material was required in order to realize the application to the reflector, enlargement of the flat panel display, high resolution, and low power consumption.

그러나, 은(Ag)은 유리 등의 절연 기판 또는 진성 비정질 규소나 도핑된 비정질 규소 등으로 이루어진 반도체 기판 등의 하부 기판에 대해 접착성(adhesion)이 극히 불량하여 증착이 용이하지 않고, 배선의 들뜸(lifting) 또는 벗겨짐(Peeling)이 쉽게 유발된다. 또한, 은(Ag)도전층이 기판에 증착된 경우에도 이를 패터닝하기 위해 식각액을 사용하게 된다. 이러한 식각액으로서 종래의 식각액을 사용하는 경우 은(Ag)이 과도하게 식각되거나, 불균질하게 식각되어 배선의 들뜸 또는 벗겨짐 현상이 발생하고, 배선의 측면 프로파일이 불량하게 된다.However, silver (Ag) has extremely poor adhesion to an insulating substrate such as glass or a lower substrate such as a semiconductor substrate made of intrinsic amorphous silicon or doped amorphous silicon. Lifting or peeling is easily induced. In addition, even when the silver (Ag) conductive layer is deposited on the substrate, an etchant is used to pattern the silver (Ag) conductive layer. When a conventional etchant is used as such an etchant, silver (Ag) is excessively etched or etched non-uniformly, causing lifting or peeling of the wiring, and the side profile of the wiring is poor.

대한민국 공개공보 제 10-2008-0110259호에는 인산, 질산, 아세트산, 제1인산나트륨(NaH2PO4) 등을 포함하는 은 식각액 조성물이 기재되어 있으나, Pad부에 노출된 S/D 배선 (Ti/Al/Ti 삼중막)에 손상(Damage)을 억제할 수 없는 문제점이 있다. Korean Publication No. 10-2008-0110259 discloses a silver etchant composition containing phosphoric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, monosodium phosphate (NaH2PO4), etc., but S/D wiring (Ti/Al/Ti/Al/ There is a problem in that the damage to the Ti triple film cannot be suppressed.

이에, Pad부에 노출된 S/D 배선 (Ti/Al/Ti 삼중막)에 손상(Damage)을 억제할 수 있는 은 식각액 조성물의 개발이 필요한 실정이다.Accordingly, there is a need to develop a silver etchant composition capable of suppressing damage to the S/D wiring (Ti/Al/Ti triple film) exposed to the pad portion.

본 발명의 식각액에 포함되는 인산(H3PO4)은 주 산화제로 사용되는 성분으로서, 산화인듐막/은(Ag)/산화인듐막에서 은(Ag)과 산화인듐막을 산화시켜 습식식각하는 역할을 수행한다. Phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 ) contained in the etchant of the present invention is a component used as the main oxidizing agent, and serves to oxidize the silver (Ag) and indium oxide films in the indium oxide film/silver (Ag)/indium oxide film to perform wet etching. carry out

본 발명의 식각액에 포함되는 인산(H3PO4)의 함량은 식각액 조성물 총중량에 대하여 40~60 중량%이다. 인산의 함량이 40 중량% 미만인 경우에는 은의 식각 속도 저하와 식각 프로파일의 불량을 야기시킬 수 있으며, 60 중량%를 초과하는 경우에는 산화인듐막의 식각 속도는 저하되고, 은의 식각 속도는 너무 빨라져 상하부 산화인듐막의 팁(Tip)이 발생하게 되어 후속공정에 문제가 되는 불리한 점이 있다. The content of phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 ) contained in the etchant of the present invention is 40 to 60% by weight based on the total weight of the etchant composition. If the phosphoric acid content is less than 40 wt%, it may cause a decrease in the etching rate of silver and a poor etching profile. There is a disadvantage in that a tip of the indium film is generated, which causes a problem in the subsequent process.

(b) 질산((b) nitric acid ( HNOHNO 33 ))

본 발명의 식각액에 포함되는 질산(HNO3)은 보조 산화제로 사용되는 성분으로서, 산화인듐막/은(Ag)/산화인듐막에서 은(Ag)과 산화인듐막을 산화시켜 습식식각하는 역할을 수행한다.

본 발명의 식각액에 포함되는 질산(HNO3)의 함량은 식각액 조성물 총중량에 대하여 3~8 중량%이다. 질산의 함량이 3 중량% 미만인 경우에는 은(Ag)과 ITO의 식각 속도 저하가 발생하여 이로써 기판내의 식각 균일성(Uniformity)이 불량해지므로 얼룩이 발생하며, 8 중량%를 초과하는 경우에는 상하부 산화인듐막의 식각 속도가 가속화 되어 상하부 산화인듐막의 언더컷 발생으로 후속 공정에 문제가 발생되는 불리한 점이 있다.The content of nitric acid (HNO 3 ) contained in the etchant of the present invention is 3 to 8% by weight based on the total weight of the etchant composition. When the content of nitric acid is less than 3% by weight, the etching rate of silver (Ag) and ITO is lowered, thereby making the etching uniformity in the substrate poor, so staining occurs. There is a disadvantage in that the etching rate of the indium film is accelerated, and a problem occurs in a subsequent process due to the occurrence of undercuts in the upper and lower indium oxide films.

(c) 아세트산(CH(c) acetic acid (CH 33 COOH)COOH)

본 발명의 식각액에 포함되는 아세트산(CH3COOH)의 함량은 식각액 조성물 총중량에 대하여 5~20 중량%이다. 아세트산의 함량이 5 중량% 미만인 경우에는 기판 내의 식각 속도 불균일로 얼룩이 발생하는 문제점이 있고, 20 중량%를 초과하는 경우에는 거품발생이 야기되며 이러한 거품이 기판내에 존재하게 되면 완전한 식각이 이루어지지 않아 후속공정에 문제를 야기할 수 있다.The content of acetic acid (CH 3 COOH) contained in the etchant of the present invention is 5 to 20% by weight based on the total weight of the etchant composition. If the content of acetic acid is less than 5% by weight, there is a problem in that staining occurs due to uneven etching rate in the substrate, and if it exceeds 20% by weight, foaming is caused. It may cause problems in the subsequent process.

상기 인산염 화합물의 함량은 식각액 조성물 총중량에 대하여 0.1~3 중량%이다. 제1인산나트륨의 함량이 0.1중량% 미만인 경우에는 기판 내의 식각 균일성(Uniformity)이 저하되고 또한 기판 내에 부분적으로 은 잔사가 생길 수 있으며, 3 중량%를 초과하는 경우에는 식각 속도가 저하되어 원하는 식각 속도를 구현할 수 없으므로 공정상에 문제가 될 수 있다.The content of the phosphate compound is 0.1 to 3% by weight based on the total weight of the etchant composition. If the content of monobasic sodium phosphate is less than 0.1% by weight, the etching uniformity in the substrate may be lowered and silver residue may be partially generated in the substrate, and if it exceeds 3% by weight, the etching rate is lowered and desired Since the etching rate cannot be realized, it may be a problem in the process.
