Agitation is a secondary process used to increase the PR stripping force on an ITO-glass surface; it is an efficient approach to stripping during production. It activates the stripper to chemically penetrate the PR layer and assists by breaking down the physical bonding forces at the surface. In this study, different stripping tests were conducted by varying the dipping time, the composition, the strip temperature, and the stripper concentration. Optimal PR strip conditions were estimated by using comparative visual inspection of stripped sample surfaces. The stripping process was affected by changes in the moving speeds and the sample positions. It was confirmed that the stripping capability improved at a dilute stripper ratio of 20-40% and a strip temperature of 30-40°C and within 60 s of strip time.
The chemical mechanism of inducing polymer breakage in a photoresist layer plays an important role in the photoresist removal from an indium tin oxide substrate. The spray structure for delivering the relevant functional material is involved in the process of binding and dissolving the PR (photoresist) material. This presents an efficient spraying process of removing the photoresist layer formed on a 260‐nm‐thick indium tin oxide substrate with a CD (cyclodextrine)‐drived aqueous stripper, simultaneously implementing proper mass transfer and heat transfer. It was taken to achieve an economical stripper consumption management by limiting the modified Weber number to 200 and the spray distance to 100 mm. As a result, stable removal performance was achieved, with optical and electric properties varying within the range of 1%, in CD drived aqueous stripping conditions (water content of the stripper composition ≤71%, stripper temperature = 40°C, and stripping time = 40 s).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
