Effect of pretreatment of tray on hillock formation in pure Al films
hillock which will seriously affect the electrical properties and yield of the products often forms around the glass substrate after replacing the cleaning spare parts of the trays. In factory
a method is shown to quickly identify and compare the formation of hillock
which include using a commonly used machine on the production line called array macro-micro defect inspection machine to observe the surface of pure Al film and then save the pictures which will be analyzed and calculated by MATLAB. In this paper
orthogonal and single experiments are designed with the possible influential factors of hillock formation
which are the thickness of pure Al film
the time of pretreatment of tray and the pause time of the glass substrate after deposition of pure Al film in heater chamber. It is found that the main factor of hillock formation is the time of pretreatment of tray. The pure Al film with none hillock can be obtained when the thicknesses of pure Al film and Mo protective layer are 300 nm and 80 nm
the time of pretreatment of tray is over 90 min and the substrate have no pause in the heater chamber after deposition of pure Al film
which is meaningful to prevent the hillock formation caused by the replacement of cleaning spare parts et al. in pure Al film production.
