The etching solution for slimming of glass substrates was manufactured and HF was used as the main ingredient of wet etching solutions. Various types of strong acids such as HCl, HNO₃, H₂SO₄, amino acids and carboxylic acids such as citric acid, and etched solutions, respectively, were used to measure the etching rates and changes in surface shape of the glass. Regardless of the type of strong acids, the etching rate of the glass increased linearly as the added amount increased, and the sludge removal effect of the glass surface was also shown. The etching solution containing HCl showed more efficient results than other strong acids in the etching rate and the effect of removing sludge. The addition of carboxylic acid did not significantly affect the variation of etching rate, but had the effect of removing sludge. However, if amino acids were added, changes in etching rate and sludge removal were not significant.

The purpose of this research was to develop a flat panel display device's glass etchant which can replace hydrofluoric acid. The glass etchant was composed of 18~19% wt% of ammonium hydrogen fluoride, 24~25 wt% of sulfuric acid, 45~46 wt% of water, 4~5 wt% of sulfate and 7~8 wt% of fluoro-silicate. By replenishing the etchant which has the amount of 5% of initial solution's mass, it was possible to reuse the etchant continuously. The developed etchant showed $5{\mu}m/min$ of etching rate at $30^{\circ}C$. The reusable etchant, with replenishing 5% of initial etchant mass showed the stable etching rate, which has the deviation of less than $0.1{\mu}m/min$ etching rate. The glass surface of flat panel display device created from our etching process was in good condition with any defects such as pin hole and dimple.

In these days, due to generalization of using smart mobile phone and wearable device such as smart watch, demand of Cover-glass and touch screen panel for protecting display increases. With increasing the demand of Cover-glass, slimming technique is promising for weight lightening, zero bezel. Cover-glass produced by this technique is required to decreasing thickness with increase strength. In the Cover-glass manufacturing process, mechanical processing and chemical processing has improve in the strength. Generally, Diamond electrodeposition wheel is used in mechanical process. Reinforced glass with the characteristics of the brittle and high hardness was manufactured by using a diamond electrodeposition wheel. At this time, Because of surface of the tool present non-uniform distribution of diamond particle, it has generate Loading of wheel and it has been decrease life of grinding tool, efficiency of grinding, quality and shape accuracy of workpiece. Thus Research is needed to controling particle distribution of diamond electrodeposition wheel uniformly. And it is necessary to study micro hole machining such as proximity senser hole, speaker hole positioned Cover-glass. Reinforced glass with the characteristics of the brittle and high hardness is difficult to machining. Processing of reinforced glass have generated wear of tool, micro cracks. Also, it is decreasing shape accuracy. In this paper, We conducted a study on how to control particle distribution uniformly about the diamond tool manufactured using elecetodeposition processing. It analyzed the factors that affect the arrangement of the particles in the electrodeposition process by design of experiment. And There is produced the grinding tool, which derives an optimum deposition conditions, for processing Cover-glass edge and the machinability was evaluated.
