Abstract
There is provided an etching method of an amorphous oxide layer containing In and at least one of Ga and Zn, which includes etching the amorphous oxide layer using an etchant containing any one of acetic acid, citric acid, hydrochloric acid, and perchloric acid.
Claims4
An etching method of an amorphous oxide in a structure comprising an ITO layer and an amorphous oxide layer, the method comprising etching the amorphous oxide layer, which comprises In and Ga, In and Zn, or In, Ga and Zn, using an etchant comprising any one of acetic acid, citric acid, hydrochloric acid, and perchloric acid at an etch rate larger than an etch rate of the ITO film.
An etching method of an amorphous oxide in a structure comprising an oxide layer comprising In and Ga and an amorphous oxide layer, the method comprising etching the amorphous oxide layer, which comprises In and Zn or In, Ga, and Zn, using an etchant comprising any one of acetic acid, citric acid, hydrochloric acid, and perchloric acid at an etch rate larger than an etch rate of the oxide layer comprising In and Ga.
An etching method of an amorphous oxide in a structure comprising an oxide layer comprising In, Ga, and Zn and an amorphous oxide layer, the method comprising etching the amorphous oxide layer, which comprises In and Zn, using an etchant comprising any one of acetic acid, citric acid, hydrochloric acid, and perchloric acid at an etch rate larger than an etch rate of the oxide layer comprising In, Ga and Zn.
