Abstract:
A method of fabricating a metal thin film-on-glass structure. A glass substrate, on a top surface of which a layer is formed, is prepared. A local area of the glass substrate is etched from a bottom of the glass substrate to expose the layer downwardly, thereby forming an exposed area of the layer. The layer is a metal thin film. The etching includes first-etching the glass substrate to a depth less than a thickness of the glass substrate using a first etching solution containing hydrofluoric acid and at least one of nitric acid and sulfuric acid, resulting in a first-etched portion of the glass substrate; and second-etching the first-etched portion of the glass substrate using an etching solution containing hydrofluoric acid without nitric acid or sulfuric acid, so that the layer is exposed downwardly, whereby the metal thin film is supported by a remaining portion of the glass substrate.
