摘要

ITO刻蚀产线由刻蚀设备、中央药液供给系统（Chemical central Supply System，CCSS）、刻蚀液管理系统（Etchant Management System，EMS）3大组件构成。明确组件之间的相互作用，确认相互作用对刻蚀液浓度的影响，进而管控刻蚀，对ITO刻蚀制程至关重要。本文结合重庆京东方ITO刻蚀产线，探究不同生产模式下刻蚀液各组分浓度的变化，结合回归分析、因果链和统计方法分析了各成分浓度变化的原因，并确认刻蚀液浓度变化对刻蚀程度的影响。实验结果表明：仅CCSS开启，刻蚀液中酸液浓度增加，致其刻蚀能力逐渐增强。在CCSS开启的基础上，EMS开启补充水和硝酸功能，可以保持刻蚀液浓度稳定，进而延长刻蚀液的使用时间。但是，在CCSS和EMS补给均开启的模式下，刻蚀液浓度在初期波动，然后逐步趋于稳定，且在浓度波动期间会有一个硝酸浓度偏高的区域，此区域的刻蚀能力强。该研究为ITO刻蚀液使用时间延长、产品良率提升提供了参考。

Abstract

The ITO etching production line consists of three components: etching equipment

central chemical supply system (CCSS)

and etchant management system (EMS). It is necessary to clarify the influence of components interaction on etchant concentration

which is important to ITO etching process. In this article

the changes in the concentration of each ingredient of etchant is explored under different production modes

based on ITO etching production line of Chongqing BOE. In addition

regression analysis

cause-effect analysis and statistical methods are used to analyze the reasons for the changes in the concentration of etchant

and the influence of etchant concentration on etching degree is confirmed. The results show that when only CCSS is turned on

the acid concentration of etchant increases

causing etching ability to gradually increase. Under the premise that the CCSS supply is turned on

and the EMS is enabled for the water and HNO

replenishment function

the concentration of etchant can keep stable by adjusting the replenishment rate of HNO

and water

thereby the use time of the etchant can be extended. However

in the mode where both CCSS and EMS replenishment are turned on

the etchant concentration fluctuates in the initial stage

and then gradually stabilizes. And during the period of concentration fluctuation

there will be a stage with a high concentration of HNO

which has strong etching ability. This research provides a reference for extending the use time of ITO etchant and improving the product yield under mass production conditions.
