Abstract:
A method of improving adherence of a metal film deposited directly on a silicate glass substrate for a display panel. The method comprises chemically treating the surface of the glass to alter its surface characteristics and thereby improve adhesion robustness of the metal film to the glass surface. In a specific embodiment the surface is treated with a mixed solution of hydrofluoric and hydrochloric acid.
