Abstract

Recently low resistance of bus line is required for large screen size RFT-CLD panels. As a result, lower resistance Al-alloy is currently reviewed extensively. The resistivity is required smaller than 10$\mu$$\Omega$cm and high resistance of chemical attack is required. In this paper, Al-W thin film were deposited on glass substrates by D.C magnetron sputtering system under various condition for high chemical resistance. Its properties were characterized by SEM, AFM, XRD, 4-point-probe, and cyclic voltammertry. The optimal condition of Al-W was 10$0^{\circ}C$, 100W, 0.4Pa, 23sccm(Ar) and 35$0^{\circ}C$, 20min. annealing. At that condition the resistivity of Al-W(3 wt.%) was about 11$\mu$$\Omega$cm. And when wt.% of W in Al-W alloy was higher than about 4%, Al-W alloy thin film has high chemical resistance.
