摘要
The n(+) etching process is investigated for the fabrication of TFF-LCD (thin film transistor liquid crystal display) deposited with low resistance data lines of Mo/Al/Mo. Problems of consumption of the upper Mo layer and contamination of the channel area can be resolved using a PR mask. With a PR mask, either HCl or Cl-2 can be selected as a main etchant gas, and either SF6 or CF4 can be selected as an additive. Plasma treatment after the n(+) etching process can reduce the high off-current problem which occurs when the Mo data line is in contact with the n(+)a-Si layer.
