Abstract

An aluminum alloy (Al - 1.0% Si - 0.5% Cu) was anodized in nonaqueous electrolyte solutions containing propylene carbonate (PC), ethylene glycol (EG), or γ-butyrolactone (GBL) as a solvent. MIM (metal-insulator-metal) elements using these anodic films were made to evaluate their electrical properties. Leakage current of the anodic films formed in the nonaqueous solutions was lower than those formed in aqueous electrolyte solutions. These novel films are useful as a high insulating film used for a gate insulator in thin film transistor liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCD).
