Using the Taguchi-Genetic Algorithm to Improve Lithographic Photoresist Operating Conditions of Touch Panels to Upgrade After-Develop Inspection

In order to use touch control products more conveniently, a general objective is to develop lighter and smaller touch panels. A touch panel using the one glass solution (OGS) is an important development. The black matrix (BM) in an OGS touch panel is used as a black frame. The photoresist is divided into a positive photoresist and a negative photoresist. The BM photoresist is negative. After coating, exposure, and development in the BM process, after-develop inspection is implemented to check if the appearance is abnormal. It is quite difficult to rework the negative photoresist process. There is still room for improving the BM photoresist process capability <i>C_pk</i>. Thus, in order to reduce the customer complaint rate and enhance stability, the photolithography process is improved to enhance <i>C_pk</i>. Among the BM black negative photoresist forming process conditions of OGS products, the pre-baking time is the most important process control factor. The method set up herein improves the original <i>C_pk </i>= 0.90. This study employs the fast messy genetic algorithm (fmGA) to select the optimum orthogonal array of the Taguchi method, so as to implement the decision process of optimum parameter design. The <i>C_pk</i> of the optimum parameter is 2.12.
