Embodiment
The preferred embodiment of sputtering target material of the present invention includes indium, one first metal, one second metal, and oxygen, based on indium, is somebody's turn to do
In terms of 100at.%, the atom content scope of indium is 10 to 20at.%, should for first metal and the bimetallic atom total content
The atom content scope of first metal is 60 to 80at.%, which is 10 to 20at.%, its
In, which is selected from zinc, tin, and foregoing combination, which is selected from aluminium, titanium, and foregoing combination, and this second
Resistivity of the resistivity of the oxide of metal higher than the oxide of first metal.
When the preferred embodiment is formed a conductive metal oxide film through sputtering in the cavity of a sputtering machine table,
Due to sputtering be based on physical deposition principle in a manner of form film, then containing indium, first metal, second metal,
And the conductive metal oxide film that the sputtering target material of oxygen is formed also contains indium, first metal, second metal, and
Oxygen.
Herein it should be noted that, although the characteristic of conductive metal oxide film is except the shadow formed by target material composition
Outside ringing, it can also be influenced by sputtering environment and parameter value setting.Oxygen is also passed through during sputtering to the sputtering for example, working as
When in the cavity of board, oxygen also can regard environment (such as oxygen content in the temperature of cavity or the pressure of cavity or cavity) and
Reacted with the metal ingredient of the sputtering target material, and then influence the characteristic of conductive metal oxide film.But sputter environment and parameter
Influence of the value setting to conductive metal oxide film resistivity is typically limited in the range of one, and method is not splashed in appropriate
Stable high resistance ito thin film or indium zinc tin oxide film are obtained under the conditions of penetrating.It is therefore advantageous to mode be still necessary to adopt
With the metal oxide target of proper composition and proportion of composing to obtain the conductive metal oxide film of high resistivity.
The bimetallic atom content of the preferred embodiment is 10 to 20at.%, then is formed after sputtering process
The component of conductive metal oxide film also contain second metal, and the resistance value of the conductive metal oxide film is more than
The sheet resistance of the ito thin film of same thickness, also greater than the sheet resistance of the indium zinc tin oxide film of same thickness;Furthermore its is saturating
Light rate is still suitable with the light transmittance of current indium zinc tin oxide film.Specifically, when the conductive metal oxide film is in film
When thickness is 100nm, its resistance value is more than 106Ω, and average transmittance is more than 85%.
And also need to put forward explanation, the resistivity for the conductive metal oxide film which is formed is big
It is in one of reason of the resistivity of indium zinc tin oxide film:Add the aluminium atom or titanium atom and indium zinc of predetermined concentration
Tin forms the higher compound of resistivity, thus reduces electron mobility, and lifts resistivity.
Specifically, if the bimetallic atom content of the preferred embodiment is less than 10at.%, through sputtering process
The too low conductive metal oxide film of bimetallic atom content is easily formed afterwards;Illustrated and made using aluminium as second metal
Illustrate, when the aluminium content in a conductive metal oxide film is too low, aluminium atom occupies the lattice position of former zinc or indium and produces
Raw substituting effect, thus increase the carrier concentration in oxide, cause the conductivity of conductive metal oxide film to rise.
In addition, if the bimetallic atom content of the preferred embodiment is more than 20at.%, insulate in its material
Property high aluminium oxide or titanium oxide content it is excessive, the resistance value mistake through sputtering formed conductive metal oxide film will be caused
It is high and conductive capability is insufficient.
More accurately, the content range of the indium of the preferred embodiment is 12 to 18at.%, the atom content of first metal
Scope is 64 to 76at.%, which is 12 to 18at.%.
And it is preferred that first metal is tin and zinc, which is aluminium, and the atom content scope of zinc for 10 to
20at.%, or the atom content scope of tin is 10 to 20at.%, all and then makes the conducting metal oxide formed through sputtering
Resistance value of the film when thickness is 100nm is more than 5 × 106Ω, and in the light irradiation that wave-length coverage is 300 to 1300nm
Light transmittance be more than 87%.
More preferably, which contains a principal component, and a lattice structure different from the accessory ingredient of the principal component, the master
Component is with the accessory ingredient all containing indium, first metal, and second metal.The bimetallic atom content in the accessory ingredient
Percentage is more than the bimetallic atom content percentage in the principal component, thus it is speculated that higher containing resistivity in the accessory ingredient
