Detailed Description
1. One embodiment of the transparent conductive layer
A transparent conductive layer 1 as an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 1. The transparent conductive layer 1 extends in the planar direction. The plane direction is orthogonal to the thickness direction. The transparent conductive layer 1 is crystalline.
1.1 inorganic oxide contained in transparent conductive layer
The transparent conductive layer 1 contains an inorganic oxide. Examples of the inorganic oxide include metal oxides. The metal oxide comprises at least 1 metal selected from the group consisting of In, sn, zn, ga, sb, nb, ti, si, zr, mg, al, au, ag, cu, pd, W. Specifically, as a material of the transparent conductive layer 1, indium zinc composite oxide (IZO), indium gallium zinc composite oxide (IGZO), indium gallium composite oxide (IGO), indium tin composite oxide (ITO), and antimony tin composite oxide (ATO) are preferable, and indium tin composite oxide (ITO) is preferable from the viewpoint of improving heat resistance.
1.2 tin oxide (SnO) 2 ) Content of (3)
Tin oxide (SnO) in indium tin composite oxide 2 ) The content of (C) is, for example, 0.5 mass% or more, preferably 3 mass% or more, more preferably 4 mass%The amount is preferably not less than 5% by mass, more preferably not less than 6% by mass, and further, for example, less than 50% by mass, preferably not more than 25% by mass, more preferably not more than 15% by mass, more preferably not more than 10% by mass. When the content of tin oxide is not less than the lower limit, the ratio (I 440 /I 222 ) Is set to a desired range. The tin oxide content may be, for example, tin oxide (SnO) in a sintered body (target) of a mixture of indium oxide and tin oxide 2 ) Is determined by the content of (3). Further, for example, the transparent conductive layer 1 may be determined by analysis by XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy ). If necessary, tin oxide (SnO) in the thickness direction of the transparent conductive layer 1 can be obtained by obtaining depth profile of XPS 2 ) Is contained in the composition.
1.2.1 distribution of tin oxide content
The content of tin oxide in the indium tin composite oxide may be distributed in the thickness direction. As shown in the enlarged view of fig. 1, in the present embodiment, the transparent conductive layer 1 includes, in order from one side in the thickness direction, a 1 st region 3 and a 2 nd region 4 in which the tin oxide content is different from each other. That is, in the present embodiment, the 2 nd region 4 is arranged on one side of the 1 st region 3 in the thickness direction. The content C1 of tin oxide in the 1 st region 3 is, for example, higher than the content C2 of tin oxide in the 2 nd region 4. The ratio (C1/C2) of the content C1 of tin oxide in the 1 st region 3 to the content C2 of tin oxide in the 2 nd region 4 is, for example, more than 1, preferably 1.5 or more, more preferably 2 or more, still more preferably 2.5 or more, particularly preferably 3 or more, and most preferably 3.3 or more. The ratio (C1/C2) is, for example, 100 or less, preferably 25 or less, and more preferably 10 or less. The boundaries of the 1 st region 3 and the 2 nd region 4 may not be clearly observed.
1.2.2 content of tin oxide in zone 1, 3
Specifically, the content C1 of tin oxide in the 1 st region 3 is, for example, 5 mass% or more, preferably 7 mass% or more, more preferably 9 mass% or more, and is, for example, 50 mass% or less, preferably 30 mass% or less, more preferably 25 mass% or less, more preferably 20 mass% or less.
1.2.3 content of tin oxide in zone 24
The content C1 of tin oxide in the 2 nd region 4 is, for example, 0.1 mass% or more, preferably 1 mass% or more, more preferably 2 mass% or more, and is, for example, 9 mass% or less, preferably 7 mass% or less, more preferably 5 mass% or less.
1.3 rare gas 2 having atomic number larger than that of argon contained in inorganic oxide
The inorganic oxide contains a rare gas 2 having an atomic number larger than that of argon. In the present embodiment, as shown in an enlarged view in fig. 1, a rare gas 2 having an atomic number larger than that of argon is present in the entire transparent conductive layer 1 in the thickness direction. Even if the transparent conductive layer 1 includes the 1 st region 3 and the 2 nd region 4, the rare gas 2 having an atomic number larger than that of argon exists in both the 1 st region 3 and the 2 nd region 4.
The transparent conductive layer 1 is a composition obtained by mixing an inorganic oxide (preferably, a metal oxide) with a rare gas 2 having an atomic number larger than that of argon.
Examples of the rare gas having an atomic number larger than that of argon include krypton, xenon, and radon. They may be used alone or in combination. The rare gas having an atomic number larger than that of argon is preferably krypton or xenon, and krypton (Kr) is more preferably used from the viewpoint of low cost and excellent electrical conductivity.
The method for identifying the rare gas having an atomic number larger than that of argon is not limited. For example, the rare gas having an atomic number larger than that of argon in the transparent conductive layer 1 is preferably identified (whether or not it is present) by rutherford backscattering analysis (Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry), secondary ion mass spectrometry, laser resonance ionization mass spectrometry, and/or fluorescent X-ray analysis, and from the viewpoint of analysis easiness, the identification is preferably performed by fluorescent X-ray analysis. Details of the fluorescent X-ray analysis are set forth in the examples. In order to quantify a rare gas having an atomic number greater than argon, the rutherford backscattering analysis is performed, and therefore the determination cannot be performed because the content of the rare gas having an atomic number greater than argon is not equal to or greater than the detection threshold (lower limit), whereas when the fluorescent X-ray analysis is performed, if the presence of the rare gas having an atomic number greater than argon is identified, it is determined that the region in which the content of the rare gas having an atomic number greater than argon in the transparent conductive layer 1 is equal to or greater than 0.0001atom% is included.
The content ratio of the rare gas having an atomic number larger than that of argon in the inorganic oxide (transparent conductive layer 1) is, for example, 0.0001atom% or more, preferably 0.001atom% or more, and further, for example, 1.0atom% or less, more preferably 0.7atom% or less, still more preferably 0.5atom% or less, still more preferably 0.3atom% or less, particularly preferably 0.2atom% or less, and most preferably 0.15atom% or less. When the content ratio of the rare gas having an atomic number larger than that of argon in the inorganic oxide (transparent conductive layer 1) is in the above range, the heat resistance of the transparent conductive layer 1 can be improved.
In sputtering described later, when the sputtering gas contains argon, a large amount of argon enters the transparent conductive layer 1. In contrast, when the sputtering gas contains a rare gas having an atomic number larger than that of argon and does not contain argon, the transparent conductive layer 1 can suppress a large amount of the sputtering gas from entering. Therefore, the transparent conductive layer 1 becomes dense, and as a result, the heat resistance of the transparent conductive layer 1 is improved.

Thereafter, the transparent conductive layer 1 is formed on one surface of the base material 6 in the thickness direction. Specifically, first, an amorphous transparent conductive layer is formed on one surface of the base material 6 in the thickness direction, and thereafter, the amorphous transparent conductive layer is converted into a crystalline form, whereby the transparent conductive layer 1 is formed.

The film forming roller is provided with a temperature adjusting device. The temperature adjusting device can adjust the temperature of the film forming roller. The film-forming roller may be in contact with the substrate 6, and thus the temperature of the substrate 6 may be adjusted.

Examples of the rare gas having an atomic number larger than that of argon include krypton, xenon, and radon, and krypton (Kr) is preferable. The sputtering gas is preferably argon free.
The sputtering gas supplied to each of the plurality of film forming chambers is, for example, the same, and, for example, the sputtering gas supplied to one film forming chamber is a rare gas having an atomic number larger than that of argon, and the sputtering gas supplied to the other film forming chamber is argon. Preferably, the sputtering gas supplied to each of the plurality of film forming chambers is the same.
The sputtering gas is preferably mixed with a reactive gas. As the reactive gas, for example, oxygen may be mentioned.

As shown in the enlarged view of fig. 1, in order to provide the transparent conductive layer 1 with the 1 st region 3 and the 2 nd region 4, the 1 st sputtering step is performed in the 1 st film forming chamber, and the 2 nd sputtering step is performed in the 2 nd film forming chamber.
The air pressure in the sputtering apparatus is, for example, 1.0Pa or less, and is, for example, 0.01Pa or more.
Thus, a laminate comprising the base material 6 and the amorphous transparent conductive layer was produced. In the case where the sputtering apparatus includes the 1 st and 2 nd film forming chambers, the amorphous transparent conductive layer includes the 1 st region 3 and the 2 nd region 4.
Conversion of 1.10.2.2 amorphous transparent conductive layer to crystalline
Thereafter, the amorphous transparent conductive layer is converted into a crystalline form, thereby forming the transparent conductive layer 1.
In order to convert the transparent conductive layer 1 into a crystalline form, an amorphous transparent conductive layer (a laminate including an amorphous transparent conductive layer) is heated.

Example 1
< preparation of substrate 6 >
A substrate 6 having a thickness of 52 μm was prepared.
Specifically, a base sheet 61 (thickness 50 μm, manufactured by Toray Industries, inc.) formed of PET was prepared. Next, a hard coat composition (ultraviolet curable resin containing an acrylic resin) is coated on one surface of the base sheet 61 in the thickness direction to form a coating film. Subsequently, the coating film is cured by ultraviolet irradiation. Thus, a hard coat layer 62 having a thickness of 2 μm was formed on one surface of the base sheet 61. Thus, the base material 6 having the base material sheet 61 and the hard coat layer 62 in this order on one side in the thickness direction is produced.
An amorphous transparent conductive layer is formed on one surface of the substrate 6. In the formation of the amorphous transparent conductive layer, the 1 st sputtering step and the 2 nd sputtering step are sequentially performed. The 1 st sputtering process and the 2 nd sputtering process are reactive magnetron sputtering.

As the 1 st target, a sintered body of indium oxide and tin oxide was used. The tin oxide concentration in the sintered body was 10 mass%. A voltage was applied to target 1 using a DC power supply. The horizontal magnetic field strength on the 1 st target was set to 90mT. The film formation temperature was set at-5 ℃. Further, the 1 st film forming chamber was evacuated until the ultimate vacuum in the 1 st film forming chamber was 0.9X10 -4 Pa, thereby degassing the base material 6. Thereafter, kr as a sputtering gas and oxygen as a reactive gas were introduced into the 1 st film forming chamber, and the gas pressure in the 1 st film forming chamber was set to 0.2Pa. The ratio of the amount of oxygen introduced into the 1 st film forming chamber to the total amount of Kr and oxygen introduced was about 2.6% by flow. As shown in fig. 3, the oxygen introduction amount was adjusted so that the resistivity of the amorphous 1 st region 3 became 6.5x10 in the region X of the resistivity-oxygen introduction amount curve -4 Omega cm. The thickness of region 1, 3, was 11nm.
< 2 nd sputtering Process >
As the 2 nd target, a sintered body of indium oxide and tin oxide was used. The tin oxide concentration in the sintered body was 3 mass%. A DC power supply was used to apply a voltage to target 2. The horizontal magnetic field strength on the 2 nd target was set to 90mT. The film formation temperature was set at-5 ℃. Further, the 2 nd film forming chamber was evacuated until the ultimate vacuum in the 2 nd film forming chamber in the DC magnetron sputtering apparatus was 0.9X10 -4 Pa, and thereafter introducing Kr as a sputtering gas and oxygen as a reactive gas into the 2 nd film forming chamber to thereby form a film in the 2 nd film forming chamberThe air pressure was set to 0.2Pa. The ratio of the amount of oxygen introduced into the 2 nd film forming chamber to the total amount of Kr and oxygen introduced was about 2.5% by flow. As shown in fig. 3, the oxygen introduction amount was adjusted so that the resistivity of the amorphous 2 nd region 4 became 6.5x10 in the region X of the resistivity-oxygen introduction amount curve -4 Omega cm. The thickness of region 2, 4, is 11nm.
< crystallization of amorphous transparent conductive layer >
Thereafter, the laminate including the base material 6 and the amorphous transparent conductive layer is heated by contacting the laminate with a heating roller in a vacuum heating apparatus. The heating temperature was 160℃and the heating time was 0.1 hour. Thereby, the amorphous transparent conductive layer is crystallized. Thereby, the crystalline transparent conductive layer 1 is formed. For the thickness of the transparent conductive layer 1, the thickness was 22nm.
Thus, a transparent conductive film 5 having a base material 6 and a crystalline transparent conductive layer 1 in this order on one side in the thickness direction was produced.

Before forming the 2 nd region 4, a cross-sectional observation sample was prepared from the 1 st region 3, and FE-TEM observation was performed on the sample to calculate the thickness of the 1 st region 3.
The thickness of the 1 st region 3 is subtracted from the thickness of the transparent conductive layer 1, thereby calculating the thickness of the 2 nd region 4.

Specifically, after the transparent conductive layer 1 was fixed to a stage, surface FE-SEM observation (acceleration voltage: 0.8kV, observation image: secondary electron image) was performed, and the transparent conductive layer 1 was photographed in a plan view. The magnification is adjusted so that the crystal grains can be clearly confirmed.
Then, the captured image is subjected to an image analysis process, whereby the area of the region defined by the grain boundaries (regions within the grain boundaries) is determined from the number of pixels present in the region, and the diameter of a circle having the same area as the area is determined as the crystal grain diameter (circle equivalent diameter).
As a result, the grain diameter of example 1 was 0.6. Mu.m. The grain diameter of comparative example 1 was 0.4. Mu.m.
< test for resistance to heating >
The surface resistance of the transparent conductive layer 1 was measured to obtain an initial surface resistance R0.
Thereafter, the transparent conductive film 5 was put into a hot air oven at 140℃for 1 hour. After the transparent conductive film 5 was taken out of the hot air oven, the surface resistance of the transparent conductive film 5 was obtained as the surface resistance R1 after heating.
The initial surface resistance R0 was divided by the surface resistance R1 after heating, and the rate of increase in surface resistance before and after the heating test was obtained. The results are set forth in Table 1.
The increase rate of the surface resistance before and after the heating test of example 1 was less than 1, which revealed that the increase of the surface resistance after the heating test was suppressed.
In contrast, the increase rate of the surface resistance before and after the heating test of comparative example 1 exceeded 1, and it was found that the surface resistance after the heating test increased.
< confirmation of Kr atom in transparent conductive layer 1>
The transparent conductive layer 1 in example 1 was confirmed to contain Kr atoms as follows.
First, using a scanning fluorescent X-ray analyzer (trade name "ZSX primus iv", manufactured by Rigaku Corporation), fluorescent X-ray analysis measurement was repeated 5 times under the following measurement conditions, and an average value of each scanning angle was calculated to manufacture an X-ray spectrum. Then, it was confirmed that a peak was present near the scanning angle of 28.2 ° in the produced X-ray spectrum, and that Kr atoms were contained in the transparent conductive layer 1. In comparative example 1, no peak was observed.
