Patent ID: 11049888

Abstract:
The manufacturing method for TFT array substrate of the invention exposes the negative photoresist material on the passivation layer with a semi-transmissive mask to form a crosslinked portion, first and second uncrosslinked portion; then, performs the first development to remove the first uncrosslinked portion and forms a via on the passivation layer, performs the ashing treatment for thinning the negative photoresist material to expose the second uncrosslinked portion, performs the second development to remove the second uncrosslinked portion; deposits transparent conductive material on negative photoresist material and exposed passivation layer to form a pixel electrode on passivation layer, and finally removes the remaining negative photoresist material and the transparent conductive material with photoresist stripping solution. The invention, using step-wise development, solves the technical difficulty of forming a halftone structure with a negative photoresist material, and enables feasibility of the use of the negative photoresist material in the 3mask process.
