Abstract

A method of forming a metal pattern on a display substrate includes blanket depositing a copper-based layer having a thickness between about 1,500 Å and about 5,500 Å on a base substrate, and forming a patterned photoresist layer on the copper-based layer. The copper-based layer is over-etched by an etching composition containing an oxidizing moderating agent where the over-etch factor is between about 40% and about 200% while using the patterned photoresist layer as an etch stopping layer, and where the etching composition includes ammonium persulfate between about 0.1% by weight and about 50% by weight, includes an azole-based compound between about 0.01% by weight and about 5% by weight and a remainder of water. Thus, reliability of the metal pattern and that of manufacturing a display substrate may be improved.
