Surface planarization method of thin film and preparing method of array substrate

摘要

A surface planarization method of thin film and a preparing method of an array substrate relate to a display field, and can solve the technical problem that the conventional dry etching severely damages the surface flatness of other film layers below the one being etched, thereby improving the display properties of the LCD. The preparing method of the array substrate comprises patterning a non-metallic layer (4) by a dry etching. And following the step of patterning a non-metallic layer (4) by the dry etching, the method further comprises performing surface planarization on a first film layer (3) to recover the first film layer (3) with a rough surface caused by the dry etching to be planar. The first film layer (3) is located below the non-metallic layer (4).

主权项

1. A surface planarization method of thin films, comprising:
patterning a non-metallic layer located above a first film layer by dry etching in an apparatus with a dry-etching working gas configured for the dry etching, wherein the dry etching causes the first film layer to be exposed with a rough surface; and planarizing the exposed first film layer to smooth the rough surface of the exposed first film layer to be planar, wherein planarizing the exposed first film layer comprises:
introducing into the same apparatus configured for the dry etching a chemically reactive gas that is different from the dry-etching working gas,wherein the chemically reactive gas reacts with the exposed first film layer to generate volatile substances so that the rough surface of the exposed first film layer is planarized.
