Abstract

We observed that static electricity has an influence on the etching unformity of dry etching process. When the static electricity was applied from-200[V]to-1000[V] on glass substrates, the etching rate uniformity was changed to 1.5%-15%. In this experiment, the soft X-ray to neutralize static electricity was adopted as ore of neutralization methods. As an experimental result, soft X-ray irradiation improved neutralization capability on the surface of LCD glass substrate within the short time, about 15-30sec. The difference of etching rate uniformity was below 0.5%.
