Effect of annealing on wet etch of amorphous IGZO thin film

摘要

Amorphous InGaZnO (a-IGZO) film is deposited on the glass substrate by radio-frequency sputtering and the influence of annealing on wet etch of a-IGZO films were investigated.The results show that etch rate of IGZO films decrease with the increase of annealing temperature.Etching taper angle is less than 60 and critical dimension (CD) loss is less than 1 μm in over-etching time of 30 s.The fact implies that IGZO films etching with oxalic acid may be a good wet etching way for the thin-film transistor (TFT) array process.
