摘要

摘要:
TFT-LCD产业正朝着高效率、低成本的方向发展。在TFT-LCD制造过程中，发现不同的光刻胶需要不同的真空干燥时间。为了减少制造时间，提高面板成品率，有必要明确影响真空时间的因素。本文探讨了抽运时间与光刻胶材料性能的关系。发现光刻胶的热稳定性与抽运时间的关系可以忽略不计。光刻胶的致密性和疏水性与真空干燥时间密切相关。致密性和高疏水性可以有效避免水蒸气在制造过程中侵入和储存在光刻胶中，减少泵送次数。总的来说，这项工作可以为未来TFT-LCD工业新型光刻胶的开发提供一定的参考。

Abstract:
The TFT-LCD industry is moving towards high efficiency and low costs. During the manufacturing process, it has been found that various photoresists require different vacuum drying times. To reduce manufacturing time and increase panel yields, clarifying the factors that can influence and reduce the vacuum time is necessary. This paper explored the relationship between pumping time and the properties of photoresist materials. It finds that the thermal stability of the photoresist has a negligible relationship with the pumping time. The compactness and hydrophobicity of the photoresist correlated strongly with the vacuum drying time. High compactness and high hydrophobicity can effectively prevent water vapor intrusion and storage in the photoresist during fabrication and consequently reduce pumping times. Overall, this work could guide the future development of new photoresists for the TFT-LCD industry.
