  • Patent number: 7115212
    Abstract: A method of etching a metal oxide film includes depositing a metal (M) on the metal oxide film and contacting the metal oxide film and the metal (M) with an etch liquid comprising an acid (A) and a metal dissolution agent (X). The method can avoid patchwise etch.

  • Patent number: 6193901
    Abstract: Masked tin oxide films are etched with an etchant composed of hydrochloric acid and a penetration control agent. The exposed metal oxide film is reduced to metallic tin by the action of active hydrogen (H0) produced in the reaction of zinc with acid, and etching stops when the metallic tin becomes impenetrable to H0.

  • Patent number: 6180021
    Abstract: Masked tin oxide films are etched with an etchant composed of a zinc metal, an acid and a Ni++ penetration control agent. The exposed metal oxide film is reduced to metallic tin by the action of active hydrogen (H0) produced in the reaction of zinc with acid, and etching stops when the metallic tin becomes impenetrable to H0.

  • Patent number: 6174452
    Abstract: Masked tin oxide films are etched with an etchant composed of zinc metal, HCl, and a penetration control agent. The exposed metal oxide film is reduced to metallic tin by the action of active hydrogen (Ho) produced in the reaction of zinc with acid, and etching stops when the metallic tin becomes impenetrable to Ho.

  • Patent number: 5986391
    Abstract: The present invention provides for transparent electrodes useful in display devices. The transparent electrodes are deposited on a substrate and formed with one or more apertures on their top surface that permit a second electrode, formed on the transparent electrode, to dip down and make contact with the substrate. The second electrode is made of an opaque conductive material that lowers the electrical resistance of the transparent electrode.

  • Patent number: 5976396
    Abstract: Method for etching metal oxide films, especially tin oxide on a substrate in which a metal (Zn) is deposited on said film and etching is performed by a mixture of an acid, such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) and a metal dissolution agent, such as ferric chloride. The hydrochloric acid reacts with the zinc to produce active hydrogen which reduces the tin oxide to tin, which in turn is etched with the hydrochloric acid.
