The content of the invention
[the be intended to problem for solving of invention]
The present invention is developed using above-mentioned situation as background, it is therefore intended that is provided and a kind of can be discharged with DC source Sputtered target material containing copper or copper alloy and oxide, and, there is provided a kind of touch-control suitable for forming capacitance-type With the sputtered target material of the blackening layer of colorimetric sensor films.
[to the means to solve the problem]
A kind of relevant sputtered target material of the present invention, which has the line and staff control of copper system metal phase and oxide phase, and oxygen content is 5 The atom % of atom % to 30, relative density are more than 85%, and volumetric resistivity value is 1.0 × 10-2More than Ω cm.
If according to the sputtered target material of the present invention, due to the volumetric resistivity value of target itself it is relatively low, therefore can be with cheap direct current Power supply is discharged, and can lift rate of film build.Also, due to the oxygen containing high concentration in sputtered target material, therefore sputter gas can be reduced In oxygen amount and carry out sputter, and form stable blackening layer.Copper system metal phase in sputtered target material of the present invention, refers to only copper Single-phase or copper alloy phase, for copper alloy phase, can enumerate:Copper-nickel alloy phase, copper-titanium alloy are equal.Oxide only mutually refers to Oxide phase with copper (copper oxide phase) or containing copper alloy as composition oxide phase (copper alloy oxide phase).Copper is closed During golden oxide phase, its metal ingredient can be it is identical with copper alloy, it is alternatively different.So oxide can mutually be enumerated:Copper oxide Phase, copper-nickel alloy copper close oxide phase, copper-titanium alloy copper alloy oxide it is equal.Also, by becoming this oxide The tissue mixed with copper system metal phase, in splashing in the tissue for crossing target, forms the network produced by copper system metal phase, and Its network becomes conductive path, even if oxygen content is the 5 atom % of atom % to 30, remains to realize low volumetric resistivity value.
About the oxygen content of sputtered target material of the present invention, it is the 5 atom % of atom % to 30, preferably 10 atom % are former to 25 Sub- %, the more preferably 10 atom % of atom % to 20.If oxygen content becomes below 5 atom %, it is necessary to led in sputter gas in a large number Enter oxygen, if more than 30 atom %, electric discharge being carried out with DC source and becoming difficult.When in the sputtered target material of the present invention containing nickel, nickel Content preferably below 61.0 atom %, more preferably below 57.0 atom %.If nickel content is closed more than 61.0 atom %, copper-nickel Metallographic shows ferromagnetism, relevant with rate of film build reduction during sputter.Also, when containing titanium in the sputtered target material of the present invention, then titanium Content preferably below 7.50 atom %, more preferably below 6.25 atom %.If Ti content is more than 7.50 atom %, oxidation is formed Titanium phase, easily produces cracking in sintering.
Also, the relative density of the sputtered target material of the present invention is more than 85%, preferably 90%, more preferably more than 95%.Phase To density closer to 100% better.If relative density becomes less than 85%, sputtered target material void increases, so that easily inhaling Receive the gas in air.Also, the seminess using its space as the paradoxical discharge of starting point or sputtered target material is susceptible to.
Furthermore, sputtered target material for the present invention, in order to stably implement to discharge with DC source, volumetric resistivity value is 1.0×10-2Below Ω cm.It is preferred that 1.0 × 10-3Below Ω cm, more preferably 5.0 × 10-4Below Ω cm.
Sputtered target material for the present invention, the mean diameter of preferred copper system metal phase at 0.5 μm to 10.0 μm, oxide phase Mean diameter at 0.05 μm to 7.0 μm.The more preferably mean diameter of copper system metal phase at 1.0 μm to 8.0 μm, oxide phase Mean diameter is at 0.5 μm to 6.0 μm.Mean diameter to make copper system metal phase is less than 0.5 μm, it is necessary to will be used as sputtered target material The copper or copper alloy of raw material, the metal raw feed powder that can form alloy with copper are set to minor diameter, if but too small using mean diameter Raw material powder, then because of the impact of oxide-film formed on raw material powder surface, the sintering when sputtered target material is manufactured becomes incomplete, So that the oxygen content of sputtered target material easily changes.If the mean diameter of copper system metal phase easily produces oxidation more than 10.0 μm The cohesion of thing phase, is difficult to form conductive path with the network for showing copper system metal phase.If also, produce oxide phase cohesion, With which it has been thus paradoxical discharge has been produced in sputter easily.Also, the mean diameter to make oxide phase is less than 0.05 μm, The oxidate powder of the raw material as sputtered target material must be set to minor diameter, but due to the too small oxidate powder of mean diameter it is easy Generation is condensed, therefore is difficult to the manufacture of sputtered target material.If the mean diameter of oxide phase is more than more than 7.0 μm, in sputter Paradoxical discharge is produced easily.If the tissue mutually blended with oxide of the copper system metal phase with this kind of mean diameter, can be steady Surely realize that volumetric resistivity value is 1.0 × 10-2The sputtered target material of below Ω cm.Also, the net to form aforesaid copper system metal phase Network is constructed, when observing the section of sputtered target material, in 60 μ m, 60 μ m, the area of copper system metal phase than preferably 0.32 with On, more preferably more than 0.44.If area ratio is less than 0.32, it is difficult to form the net structure of copper system metal phase.
Sputtered target material for the present invention, preferred oxides are mutually copper oxide phase or copper alloy oxide phase.With copper system gold Symbolic animal of the birth year and the line and staff control of oxide phase, are the 5 atom % of atom % to 30 using oxygen content, and relative density are more than 85%, Volumetric resistivity value is 1.0 × 10-2The sputtered target material of below Ω cm, if forming blackening layer in copper surface, can make to be formed is black The surface brightness L* for changing layer side is less than 40.If surface brightness L* is more than 40, the copper mesh purpose surface of colorimetric sensor films is constituted Reflection can become strong, and the contrast of display device can be reduced.
For the sputtered target material of the present invention, can be by by copper powder and/or copper alloy powder or copper powder and to form copper alloy Copper beyond metal powder mix with oxidate powder, under vacuum atmosphere, and low compared with the fusing point of copper or copper alloy 450 DEG C Sintering temperature within the temperature range of 200 DEG C is sintered and manufactures.If being low 450 DEG C less than the fusing point compared with copper or copper alloy Sintering temperature, then sinter it is insufficient, if more than the sintering temperature that the fusing point compared with copper or copper alloy is low 200 DEG C, due to connecing The fusing point of nearly copper or copper alloy, it is difficult to form the line and staff control that copper system metal phase is coordinated with oxide.Splash in for the present invention In the manufacture method of plating target, can carry out:The only mixing of copper powder and oxidate powder, or only copper alloy powder is mixed with oxidate powder Close, also, copper powder and the mixing with copper alloy powder and oxidate powder, and copper powder and to form the metal beyond the copper of copper alloy Powder and the mixing of oxidate powder, are manufactured.Then, by adjustment copper powder and/or copper alloy powder or to form copper alloy The combined amount of metal powder and oxidate powder beyond copper, can manufacture the sputtered target material of specific oxygen content.Here, with regard to copper alloy powder For, such as copper-nickel alloy powder, copper-Titanium Powder etc. can be enumerated.Also, for oxidate powder, can enumerate as cupric oxide powder, copper- Nickel alloy oxidate powder, copper-titanium alloy oxidate powder etc..Furthermore, for the metal powder beyond the copper to form copper alloy, Can enumerate such as nikel powder:Titanium valve etc..
The manufacture method of the sputtered target material of the present invention, it is applicable using copper powder and/or copper alloy powder with oxidate powder as original The powder metallurgic method of material.This kind of powder metallurgic method, the applicable method that article shaped is burnt till after single shaft compression molding, pressure sintering, Electric sintering process etc., but most preferably using electric sintering process.According to electric sintering process, then the current-carrying part in mixed raw material powder is excellent First circulating current, is sintered, i.e. to copper powder or the part of copper alloy powder, or the preferential circulating current in part to both, shape Copper particle or copper alloy particles into copper system metal phase easily preferentially carries out granular growth.As a result, in composition sputtered target material In copper system metal phase and the line and staff control of oxide phase, the company of the copper particle or copper alloy particles of copper system metal phase is formed really Knot, reduces positively the volumetric resistivity value of sputtered target material itself.

[number 1]
In formula, C (Cu), C (Cu2O) represent that the copper system metal phase in sputtered target material is (heavy with the content of oxide phase respectively Amount %), ρ (Cu), ρ (Cu2O density, the density of oxide of copper or copper alloy) are represented respectively.Copper system metal phase and oxide The content (weight %) of phase, it is assumed that the oxygen in the sintered body surveyed is completely formed copper oxide (I) or copper alloy oxide and calculates Go out.
Volumetric resistivity value:Using low-resistivity meter (LorestaHP/ (stock) Mitsubishi Chemical Analytech systems) and four probes Method detector, determines the volumetric resistivity value of the sputtered target material after processing.
Mean diameter:The surface of grinding sputtered target material is made smooth.For the smooth surface, by being equipped with power dissipation Type X light analysis (EDS)/electric wire backscattering diffraction analysis (EBSD) device (Pegasus System/Ametek (stock) systems) FE gun shaped sweep electron microscope (SUPRA55VP/Carl Zeiss company systems) and determine the EDS light of copper and nickel and oxygen Spectrum and EBSD patterns.Condition determination is set to accelerating potential 20kV, 60 × 60 μm of viewing area, 0.5 μm of measuring interval.With index Crystalline phase be copper system metal phase (copper phase or copper alloy phase) and oxide phase, from the difference of EDS spectrum both.For the number of gained According to, the analytical bibliography " Grain Size " of EBSD analysis programs (OIMAnalysis/ (stock) TSLSolutions systems) is selected, with Calculate the average crystallite particle diameter (μm) of copper system metal phase and the out of the ordinary attached area weight of oxide phase.Now, more than 5 ° are detected Gun parallax when, be recognized as general grain circle person, for copper, be<111>Around axle, in the twin crystal of the position relation of 60 ° of rotations Grain circle is not intended as the mode of general grain circle and implements.Also, the area ratio of copper system metal phase, following manner is calculated.
The area ratio of copper system metal phase:Using value use above-mentioned analysis program, with " Color Coded Map Style " selects " Phase (phase) ", and other settings then calculate " Total Fraction " by being set to initial setting Value.
[table 1]
As shown in table 1, in embodiment 1 to 3, the oxygen content of made sputtered target material, the rough level into for the purpose of.In During comparative example 1, due to implementing in an atmosphere to burn till process, therefore oxygen content is significantly increased (relative to the oxygen content 20.0 in raw material Atom %, increases to 46.8 atom % after manufacture).In comparative example 2, although firing temperature higher (900 DEG C), firing time compared with Long (4hr), but still become the low person of relative density.In contrast, understanding Jing using the relative of the embodiment 1 to 3 of electric sintering process Density becomes more than 85%, according to electric sintering process, can acceleration of sintering.Even if the embodiment containing nickel 4,5, made sputter The oxygen content of the target also level slightly into for the purpose of.But, such as compared with embodiment 1 to 3, compared with the oxygen content in raw material powder, Slightly reduce.It is thought that as the nickel oxide formed by nikel powder and the reaction of Indium sesquioxide. (II) powder mutually has the event of oxygen defect. On the other hand, with regard to relative density, embodiment 4,5 becomes more than 85%.
Secondly, in embodiment 1 to 3, it is known that volumetric resistivity value is 1.0 × 10-2The scope of below Ω cm, can be with unidirectional current Discharged in source.On the other hand, comparative example 1,3 becomes insulant, it is impossible to implement the measure of volumetric resistivity value.For comparative example 2, Also because volumetric resistivity value is very big and measured value is unstable, therefore fail specific resistance value.Also, for comparative example 2, although with one Fixed electric conductivity, but still be difficult to discharge with stabilizing it by DC source.
In Fig. 1, the sputtered target material that embodiment 1 is observed with electric wire backscattering diffraction assay set-up (EBSD devices) is represented Section result.Show in thinking Fig. 1 black part be copper phase, remainder be oxide phase.Copper is seen mutually to link Into network-like state, therefore conductive path is formed in material internal.Therefore, in the situation of embodiment, it is believed that volumetric resistivity value becomes It is low.Furthermore, it is computed, in Fig. 1 visuals field (60 60 μm of μ m), the result of copper phase area ratio is 0.48.On the other hand, in comparative example 1 Situation, as oxygen content is larger, therefore think target entirety by the insulant that constituted with oxide phase.Also, in comparative example 2 Situation, is the low state of crystallinity, and copper phase is distinguished as indefinite structural state with oxide phase.It is therefore contemplated that volume is electric Resistance also becomes very high person.Furthermore, in the situation of comparative example 3, become the tissue that can hardly confirm copper alloy phase, therefore, Think to become the state person for being close to insulant.
Also, in Fig. 2, representing the result of the section of the sputtered target material of observation embodiment 4.The part for showing black in Fig. 2 is The alloy phase (copper system metal phase) of copper and nickel, remainder are oxide phase.From EDS spectrum and the result of EBSD patterns, it is known that Also contain nickel oxide phase.Jing understands the nikel powder as raw material, and a part forms copper system metal phase, and remainder forms copper alloy oxygen Compound phase.Also, identical with the situation of Fig. 1, the copper system metal phase in embodiment 4 connects to network state.Furthermore, calculate Fig. 2 In the visual field (60 60 μm of μ m), the result of the area ratio of copper system metal phase is 0.70.
The mean diameter of embodiment 1, copper system metal phase (copper phase) is 4.8 μm, oxide is mutually 3.9 μm.Thus, it is known that compared with Mean diameter (the D of the copper powder used with raw material50=3.0 μm) somewhat carry out grain growth.Also, also it is unconfirmed go out oxide phase Cohesion.In the situation of comparative example 2, do not know, whether because sintering is insufficient, not being specifically detected Kikuchi pattern in EBSD devices, and Fail to calculate the mean diameter of copper phase.
Then, illustrate the result about blackening layer is formed using made sputtered target material.The evaluation of blackening layer, be Copper is formed with copper on glass substrate and matches somebody with somebody exhausted layer, and be made in the evaluation sample that its layers of copper surface is formed with blackening layer.
Although the thickness of blackening layer is not particularly limited, but can be set to 5nm to 100nm.Sputter also only can be implemented with argon, but The just purpose of the optical characteristics of the formed blackening layer of adjustment, can also add oxygen or nitrogen, or both as sputter gas.Here The ratio (gas flow/argon flow amount for being added) preferably less than 20% of situation, the gas flow for being added and argon flow amount is planted, More preferably less than 15%.If the excessive oxygen of addition or nitrogen or both, have and cause the rate of film build to reduce or discharge instability Tendency.
In this evaluation sample, although form the layers of copper using fine copper, but the copper wiring constituted in colorimetric sensor films etc. When, require it is to use fine copper for low-resistance, it is considered to during cohesive with base material, can also use copper alloy.Also, for really and base The purpose of the adherence of material, also can form the adhesive layer such as titanium or molybdenum in the substrate of copper wiring.Although the thickness of copper wiring is without especially Limit, but can also be set to such as 50nm to 10000nm.
The manufacturing condition for evaluating sample is as follows.First, made each sputtered target material and gripper shoe phase made of copper are made Fit and become sputter target.By this sputter target and distribution fine copper sputter target, it is installed in and possesses the sputtering unit for having DC source And carry out film forming.Membrance casting condition is as follows.
