Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for applying metallic conductor tracks as electrodes on a channel plate made of glass for large-area flat screens using external currentless and galvanic methods for metal deposition.
- PDPs plasma display panels
- PLCs plasma-addressed liquid displays
- channel plate made of glass for their function, on which channels are formed by means of webs, also called barriers or separators, and on which there is a defined number of vertical (for PDP) or horizontal (for PALC) traces as electrodes.
- These electrodes are applied between the rib-shaped webs, which in turn are built up only after the electrodes have been formed, or have already been formed on the glass substrate beforehand. 1 shows a typical embodiment of such a channel plate.
- JP 95-077892 describes a method in which the electrodes are formed on the channel plate by the structured application of metal-like pastes by means of screen printing or other printing methods.
- the principal disadvantages of this known method lie in the lack of resolution of the available printing methods and in the high price of the metal-containing printing pastes, which stands in the way of the economical production of the large-area flat screens. Furthermore, this method is only suitable for the application of electrodes on flat glass substrates on which there are still no webs.
- US-A-4,359,663 describes a method for applying the electrodes in the channels by sputtering the desired electrode material onto the glass substrate.
- the main disadvantage of this sputtering process is the high production costs due to high investment in equipment and the relatively low substrate throughput.
- Japanese laid-open patent publication JP-A-H8-222128 describes a method for applying electrodes to a channel plate for display applications by means of electroless and electroless methods, the metallization being deposited non-selectively on the entire surface of the display.
- the entire remaining area of 95-80% of the display area must be etched free for structuring the electrodes in the case of deposition over the entire area.
- this process makes insufficient use of the metal content of the electroplating baths used.
- Metal-containing or heavy-metal-containing waste arises, which must be disposed of at high cost.
- ITO transparent conductive layer
- this layer can only be applied by means of a vacuum process (sputtering or evaporation), so that the described advantages of metallization from the liquid phase are partially eliminated.
- Another problem with the application of the electrodes is that the electrode layer deposited from the liquid phase must adhere well to the glass substrate.
- the coating of glass substrates with metallic conductor tracks presents a special problem, since "naturally" the adhesion of metal to the very smooth glass surface is very low.
- a silicate layer is therefore first applied to the flat glass substrate, which is then roughened by a strong alkaline solution before the ITO layer is applied.
- the invention has for its object, starting from this, also referred to at the outset, method to manage it in such a way that it is less expensive in terms of method while reducing the consumption of metals to be deposited, with the elimination of additional process steps for etching away metals and the resulting special waste and without the Use of expensive vacuum processes is to be carried out and leads to well-adhering electrode tracks without further intermediate steps.
- This object is achieved according to the invention by a method for applying metallic conductor tracks as electrodes on a channel plate made of glass for large-area flat screens, which has a plurality of channels running parallel to one another, separated by webs and provided with conductor tracks, with the steps:
- the channel plate at least in the electrode areas of the channels to be coated by a combination of mechanical and chemical pretreatment, preferably in conjunction with the use of a wetting agent, selectively depositing the metallic conductor tracks only in the electrode areas of the channels by means of electroless and / or galvanic deposition processes.
- the glass substrate, the channel plate is made more adhesive directly to the electrode layer to be deposited by mechanical or chemical pretreatment. It is therefore advantageously not necessary to apply a full-area intermediate silicate layer.
- the invention provides for roughening of the glass substrate in the electrode areas by a suitable combination of mechanical and chemical pretreatment, preferably advantageously in conjunction with a wetting-promoting agent.
- etching time is so short and the concentration and the temperature of the etching bath are chosen so low that there is no smoothing of the treated area.
- concentration of hydrofluoric acid is in the range from 0.5 to 1 percent by volume
- the bath temperature in the range from 15 ° to 80 ° C., preferably between 20 ° and 40 ° C.
- the etching time in the range from 0. 5 - 15 min, preferably between 1 - 5 min.
- the special pretreatment has the advantage that good / sufficient adhesion of the electroless or electrodeposited metal electrodes can be achieved since
- the chemical roughening can take place over the entire surface or only selectively on the future electrode surfaces.
- etching bath contains an ammonium hydrogen fluoride solution or a hydrofluoric acid solution.
- the wetting-promoting agent is used before or during the chemical pretreatment and / or before or during activation of the treated areas by germination.
- wetting agent ensures that the metal layer interlocks optimally with the rough surface and thus ensures good adhesion.
- a large-area metallization is typically applied, which is selectively removed by masking.
- these methods are not suitable for the application of electrodes for PDPs or PALCs, since large areas with diagonals of 42 inches and more have to be metallized for these applications.
- the flanks of the barrier ribs cannot easily be exposed with the laser and the necessary selective removal of the protective layer could not be carried out.
- the complete removal of any metals on the flanks of the rib-like webs is necessary.
- EP 0 534 576 B1 also describes a method for selectively applying conductor tracks to glass substrates for electronic circuits, in which a mask with the negative of the conductor track structure to be applied is placed in the beam path of an excimer laser. The one out of the mask emerging laser radiation is directed onto a flat quartz glass pane, the back of which is in contact with a reductive copper bath, as a result of which laser-induced thin copper tracks are selectively deposited in accordance with the desired structure. Since this method, too, requires a special laser, it is not suitable for large glass substrates such as channel plates and expensive quartz glass must also be used, since only this glass is permeable to the light of the necessary excimer laser and enables selective rear copper deposition ,
- the method according to the invention advantageously uses only processes suitable for large areas without the use of vacuum technologies for the selective construction of the addressing electrodes. Furthermore, no transparent conductive layer as a basis and no quartz glass are required for this method, and likewise no laser. In addition, the method according to the invention can also be used without difficulty for duct plates on which the rib-like webs, the barrier ribs, are already located.
- the method according to the invention has an advantageous effect particularly in the case of the trench structures of PDP / PALC screens, since the trench walls can also be metallized homogeneously.
- Roughening on the substrate is also very advantageous because it improves the adhesion.
- all metals and metal alloys which can be deposited without current or with current can be used either as the sole material or in the form of multilayers.
- a thin conductor track is first applied without external current, which is then subsequently reinforced by galvanic or chemical deposition. It has proven to be expedient that a thin, full-surface, conductive layer is first deposited as the starting layer, which is then selectively covered and then selectively galvanically and / or electrolessly reinforced on the intended surfaces of the electrodes, and in which the thin, entire starting layer outside the electrode areas is removed again.
- the selective reinforcement of the electrode areas is preferably carried out by means of a self-adjusting mask.
- the method can alternatively be carried out by first depositing a thin, full-area, conductive layer as the starting layer, which is then structured photolithographically and then galvanically and / or electrolessly reinforced.
- Either a metal or a conductive oxide can be applied as the conductive starting layer with a maximum layer thickness of 500 nm, preferably with a layer thickness of at most 200 nm.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the method for applying metallic conductor tracks as addressing electrodes to a channel plate can be achieved if, in preparation for the selective construction of the conductor tracks, the channel plate is first structured by means of photolithography using a photoresist covering the entire channel plate and a positive mask in accordance with the conductor track structure is then coated with palladium nuclei on the photolithographically predetermined free tracks, then the photoresist is stripped on the other areas and finally the metallic conductor tracks are deposited on the germinated tracks from the liquid phase and provided with at least one protective layer. This process ensures adherent traces using a relatively small amount of metal.
- the method can advantageously be carried out in such a way that, in preparation for the selective construction of the conductor tracks, palladium nuclei are selectively applied in accordance with the conductor track structure and finally the metallic conductor tracks are deposited on the germinated tracks from the liquid phase and provided with at least one protective layer.
- the selective application of the palladium seeds can be carried out by etching or sandblasting the channel plate over a mechanical or photolithographic structured mask with openings corresponding to the conductor track structure while roughening the uncovered track regions for selective germination from a palladium bath.
- a further possibility of carrying out the method is that, in order to prepare for the selective application of the conductor tracks, the entire channel plate is first covered with palladium nuclei, then by means of photolithography using a photoresist covering the entire channel plate and a mask, the tracks for the electrode structure by selective deposition of Metals are generated in the tracks, then the photoresist with the underlying palladium seeds is stripped in the other areas and then the deposited conductor tracks are provided with at least one protective layer.
- the flat palladium germination does not represent a continuous metal layer, but is only a distributed introduction of isolated germs. As a result, a very thin full-area starting layer is required, which can then be selectively reinforced, as described in the preceding.
