Abstract

A manufacturing a thin film transistor array panel includes depositing a first thin film including aluminum on a substrate, patterning the first thin film by photolithography and etching, cleansing the substrate including the first thin film, and depositing a second thin film on the cleansed substrate. The cleansing is performed using a cleansing material including ultrapure water, cyclic amine, pyrogallol, benzotrizole, and methyl glycol. The cleansing material includes ultrapure water at about 85 wt % to about 99 wt %, cyclic amine at about 0.01 wt % to about 1.0 wt %, pyrogallol at about 0.01 wt % to 1.0 wt %, benzotrizole at about 0.01 wt % to 1.0 wt %, and methyl glycol at about 0.01 wt % to 1.0 wt %.

Claims (37)

depositing a first thin film on a substrate;

patterning the first thin film by photolithography and etching;

cleansing the substrate including the first thin film with a cleansing material comprising ultrapure water, cyclic amine, pyrogallol, benzotriazole, and methyl glycol

depositing a second thin film on the cleansed substrate.

2. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein the cleansing material contains about 85 wt % to about 99 wt % ultrapure water.

3. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein the cleansing material contains about 85 wt % to about 99 wt % cyclic amine.

4. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein the cleansing material contains about 0.01 wt % to 1.0 wt % pyrogallol.

5. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein the cleansing material contains about 0.01 wt % to 1.0 wt % benzotrizole.

6. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein the cleansing material contains about 0.01 wt % to 1.0 wt % methyl glycol.

7. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein the cleansing material contains about 0.1 wt % cyclic amine, about 0.05 wt % pyrogallol, about 0.1 wt % benzotrizole, and about 0.1 wt % methyl glycol.

8. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein the cleansing material contains pyrogallol and benzotrizole of about 2 wt % altogether.

9. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein the first thin film comprises aluminum.

10. The manufacturing method of claim 9 , wherein the first thin film has a first layer including aluminum and a second layer including another conductive material.

11. The manufacturing method of claim 9 , wherein the first thin film has a first layer including aluminum, a second layer disposed thereon and a third layer disposed thereunder including another conductive material.

12. A manufacturing method of a thin film transistor array panel, comprising:

forming a gate line on a substrate;

cleansing the substrate including the gate line;
