SPUTTERING METHOD FOR FORMING AN ALUMINUM OR ALUMINUM ALLOYFINE WIRING PATTERN
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of forming a fine wiring pattern comprises the steps of:
- depositing by sputtering on an insulating substrate a thin film of aluminum or aluminum alloy containing more than 70 atom % aluminum;
patterning said thin film;
thereby forming a fine wiring pattern;
wherein said sputtering is carried out under a condition that a potential difference between the anode and the cathode is lower than 570V.

Abstract
A method of forming a fine wiring pattern by sputtering and patterning which is characterized in that the potential difference between the anode and cathode in the sputtering apparatus is lower than 570V. The resulting fine wiring pattern is free of defects due to splash. This method is effective particularly in the production of array substrates for the flat-panel display device which needs aluminum fine lines to meet the requirement for finer pixels and larger display area.
