Background technology
In the past, as nesa coating, in Indium sesquioxide. add stannum obtained from film be ITO (Indium-Tin-oxide, Indium tin oxide) film transparent and electrically conductive is excellent, is used for the purposes of the wide scopes such as various display.But, due to as master Want the indium of composition expensive, therefore this ITO is with the presence of the problem of inferior position in terms of manufacturing cost.
In view of the foregoing, the succedaneum as ITO is it is proposed that for example using the film of zinc oxide (ZnO).Made with zinc oxide For main component film have the advantages that cheap.Known this film exists due to the oxygen defect of the ZnO as main component And lead to the enhanced phenomenon of electric conductivity, and if the membrane property such as electric conductivity and transmitance is approximate with ITO, the application of this material There is the probability of increase.
In the case of utilizing visible ray in display etc., this material needs to be transparent, particularly preferably entirely visible Optical range has high-transmission rate.In addition, light loss increases or so that the view angle dependency of display is deteriorated when refractive index is high, therefore also Expecting refraction rate is low, and in order to improve the crackle of film and etching performance also it is desirable to be amorphous film.
The stress of amorphous film is little, is therefore not likely to produce crackle compared with crystalline film, from now on it is believed that aobvious towards flexibility Show in device purposes and require as amorphous film.In addition, for ITO before, in order to improve resistance value and absorbance, needing to make it Crystallization, and, when being made into amorphous, there is in short wavelength range absorption and hyaline membrane can not be formed, be therefore not suitable for This purposes.
As the material using zinc oxide it is known that IZO (Indium sesquioxide .-zinc oxide), GZO (gallium oxide/zinc oxide), AZO (oxygen Change aluminum-zinc oxide) etc. (patent documentation 1~3).But, although IZO can form low-resistance amorphous film, exist in shortwave Also there is in long scope absorption and the high problem of refractive index.In addition, GZO, AZO are easily formed because ZnO is easily orientated along c-axis Crystalline film, the stress of this crystalline film increases, and therefore haves such problems as that film is peeled off and film rupture.
In addition, Patent Document 4 discloses and wanting composition based on ZnO and fluorination alkaline earth metal compound, achieve wide cut The transparent conductive material of refractive index.But, this material is crystalline film, cannot get the effect of amorphous film as the present invention described later Really.In addition, Patent Document 5 discloses that refractive index is little and ratio resistance is little and the nesa coating for amorphous, but itself and this Bright compositional system is different, there is a problem of can not adjusting refractive index and resistance value simultaneously.
