Field of the Invention This invention relates to a method of patterning a substrate, and more particularly to a method of patterning a carbon-containing substrate. [Prior Art] Carbon-containing substrates have received increasing attention in recent years due to their high conductivity, high strength, and flexibility. When a φ circuit pattern such as a transistor is engraved on a carbon-containing substrate, a Transparent Carbon Nanotube-based Thin Film can be formed to have a multi-touch effect. In the case where the carbon nanotube transparent conductive film can achieve 85% transmittance and 200 〇/sq, it can be applied to the touch panel of various electronic products. Conventional semiconductor processes use processes such as lithography and wet etching to form circuits. However, the corrosion resistance of the carbonaceous substrate is quite good, making the patterning process of the carbonaceous substrate quite complicated and time consuming. Therefore, the production of the carbon-containing substrate has not been effectively reduced, and it cannot be widely applied to various electronic products. [Invention] The present invention relates to a patterning method for a carbon-containing substrate, which utilizes oxygen-containing The atmospheric plasma etches the carbon-containing substrate so that the patterning process of the carbon-containing substrate can increase the rate and is more convenient. According to one aspect of the invention, a patterning method for a carbonaceous substrate is presented. The patterning method of the carbonaceous substrate comprises the steps of: providing a carbon-containing base 201112328 • ** 4 χ plate under - hoisting, generating an atmospheric electricity by electro-convergence gas. The electropolymer gas usually contains oxygen, nitrogen, argon and clean compressed air (cda). The carbon source substrate is engraved with the atmosphere. In order to make the above description of the present invention more comprehensible, the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings will be described in detail below. It is intended to be illustrative only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. In addition, the drawings in the embodiments omit unnecessary elements to clearly show the technical features of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 to FIG. 7 , FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a patterning method of a carbon-containing substrate 100, and FIGS. 2 to 7 are schematic views showing the steps of FIG. First, in step S102, as shown in Fig. 2, a carbon-containing substrate 100 is provided. In the present embodiment, the carbonaceous substrate 1 is described by taking a Transparent Carbon Nanotube-based Thin Film as an example. The optical properties of the carbon nanotube transparent conductive film are similar to those of the oxidized tin foil (fUndi (10) Tin Oxide Film, ITO Film). Moreover, the non-meter carbon f transparent conductive film has a high electrical conductivity, so that a film which is equally transparent but electrically conductive can be produced. Therefore, the carbon nanotube transparent conductive film can be applied to an electronic device requiring a transparent electrode such as a display device or a solar cell, or used in a photovoltaic element such as a flexible transistor or an inductor. Next, in step S104, as shown in Fig. 3, a hard mask 300 is provided. The hard mask 3〇〇 has a hollow pattern “ο. The material of the hard mask 201112328 300 may be an inorganic material such as metal, ceramic or glass. The hollow pattern 310 is a pattern of a carbon-containing substrate 1 〇〇 predetermined etching. The pattern 310 is made of a hard mask 3〇〇 upper surface 3〇〇a and a lower surface 3, wherein the inner side wall 310a of the hollow pattern 310 is a steep side wall to facilitate the subsequent step of atmospheric plasma 5〇〇 (shown in Figure 5) traversing. In step S104, the hollow pattern 31 of the hard mask 300 is etched mechanically or chemically, for example, by a laser, a cutter The cutting or lithography is engraved. Since the inner side wall 31 of the hollow pattern 31 is a steep side wall, it can be mechanically processed in this step without using a complicated method such as injection molding. Then, in the step In S106, as shown in Fig. 4, the hard mask 300 is attached to the carbon-containing substrate 1〇〇, and the hollow pattern 31 is exposed to the exposed carbon-containing substrate 100. The hard mask 300 can contact the carbon-containing substrate. 〇 can also Contact the carbon-containing substrate 100 to see the accuracy of the subsequent etching process. When the hard mask 300 contacts the carbon-containing substrate, it can be fixed by a removable adhesive (or tape) or by mechanical positioning components. As described in the above steps S104 and S106, the material of the hard mask 300 is not a patterned photoresist or a patterned Nitride used in a semiconductor process. Moreover, the hard mask 300 is moved to include Before the carbon substrate 100, the hard mask 3 has formed a hollow pattern 31〇, and the hard mask 300 does not form the hollow pattern 310 after being attached to the carbon-containing substrate 1。. Therefore, the hard mask After the etching process of the hollow pattern 310 of the cover 300 is completed independently, the same hard mask 300 can be repeatedly used for a plurality of carbon-containing bases 201112328 1 rv boards 100. Next, in step SI 08, as shown in FIG. 5, Under normal pressure, it is produced by an electropolymerized gas - atmospheric electricity is destroyed by 5. The atmospheric pressure is, for example, atmospheric pressure or close to one atmosphere. Atmospheric plasma 500 has an absolute advantage in cost. In terms of equipment cost, atmospheric electricity Pulp 500 does not require the use of expensive and bulky vacuum equipment. In the process, the object to be treated can be free from the vacuum chamber and can be used in a continuous process. These features can effectively reduce the manufacturing cost of the product. In the composition of the plasma gas of the plasma 500, the plasma gas contains at least one oxygen gas, for example, a pure oxygen gas, a nitrogen-oxygen gas mixture gas or a clean compressed air (Clean Dry Air, CDA). In terms of the device, the atmospheric plasma goo is produced, for example, by an Arc Jet plasma generator or by a Dielectric Barrier Discharges (DBD) plasma generator. In the form of atmospheric plasma 500, atmospheric plasma 500 is, for example, a point of atmospheric plasma or a linear atmospheric plasma. Then, in step S110, as shown in Fig. 6, the carbon substrate is engraved with the atmospheric plasma. In the course of the remainder, the hard mask 300 is used as a mask, and only the carbon-containing substrate 1暴露 exposed to a portion of the hollow pattern 310 is etched. As described above, the atmospheric plasma 500 of the present embodiment is, for example, a dot-like or linear atmospheric plasma. Therefore, during the etching process, the atmospheric plasma 5 etches the carbon-containing substrate 100 by scanning. Since the atmospheric plasma 500 of the present embodiment is produced by an oxygen-containing electropolymer gas, the atmospheric plasma 500 contains oxygen plasma ions. Oxygen plasma 201112328 i wj^H〇r/\ When the ion contacts the carbonaceous substrate 100, it will chemically react with the carbonaceous substrate 100 to form a reactive gas (for example, carbon dioxide). The carbon-containing substrate 100 can be engraved by this chemical reaction. Therefore, the main etching action between the atmospheric plasma 500 of the present embodiment and the carbonaceous substrate 100 is through a dry chemical reaction ' rather than through a wet chemical reaction or ion bombardment. Therefore, the etching method of this embodiment not only has a relatively high etching selectivity but also has a relatively good cooking rate. Next, in step S112, as shown in Fig. 7, the hard mask 300 is removed from the carbonaceous substrate 1〇〇. Since the hard mask 3 is not removed in a destructive manner, and the atmospheric plasma 5 does not etch the hard mask 300, the hard mask 300 can be repeatedly used on a plurality of carbonaceous substrates. Etching step. The present invention has been described above in terms of a preferred embodiment, and is not intended to limit the invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
