Patent number: 6806206Abstract: A silver or silver alloy thin layer on a substrate is etched by an etching liquid uniformly without producing an etching residue while avoiding side etching due to over etching. The etching liquid contains silver ions in a range from 0.005 to 1 weight %. The etching liquid is fed to a tank or an etching liquid feeding apparatus, and then brought into contact with the silver or silver alloy thin layer on the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2002Date of Patent: October 19, 2004Assignees: Sony Corporation, St Liquid Crystal Display Corporation, Mitsubishi Chemical CorporationInventors: Masaki Munakata, Hirohito Komatsu, Satoshi Kumon, Kazuma Teramoto, Nobuhiro Goda, Masakazu Motoi, Noriyuki Saitou, Toshiaki Sakakihara, Makoto Ishikawa
