When the electrode is processed by etching the film surface, the etching proceeds along the crystal grain boundaries and the crystal axes. As a result, not only is the etching rate constant, but also the shoulder of the etching pattern is small and the straight line is reduced. An electrode pattern having excellent properties can be obtained.

とができる。Also, the grain size is 30 to 100 nm, and the crystal grain boundaries are clear. Grain boundaries occur when, for example, in an ITO film, distortion due to excessive segregation of tin and lattice defects reaches a certain limit.
Therefore, since there are many defects in the crystal grain boundaries, carriers are easily captured in those portions. In a contact resistance type touch panel, a high resistance transparent conductive film is desirable, a crystal grain boundary is clear, and a polycrystalline film having a relatively small Glen size of 30 to 100 nm has a specific resistance of 5 × 10 −4 or more. It is preferable to control the value. Further, by uniformly distributing tin in the crystal, crystal grain boundaries can be made clearer.

選んだ10個の値の平均値として求めることができる。If the grain size is less than 30 nm, the film strength becomes lower and the durability becomes a problem. If the grain size is more than 100 nm, the mobility of carriers increases and it becomes difficult to control the resistivity at a high level. The grain size can be obtained by observing the surface using a TEM, measuring the maximum width of a crystal grain boundary, and averaging 10 values arbitrarily selected.

It is characterized by being. Here, the surface irregularities mean the distance between the largest concave portion and the largest convex portion on the surface of the transparent conductive film, and can be determined by, for example, the following method.
A stylus type surface roughness meter (for example, DETAK3030 manufactured by Sloan Co.) was used as a measuring instrument, and this was swept over 1 nm under a load of 20 mg at an arbitrary position on the transparent conductive film. Measure the distance between
This measurement is repeated five times, and the average value is defined as the surface unevenness in the present invention. Further, it is also possible to measure several portions of the transparent conductive film using an atomic force microscope, measure the difference between the maximum concave portion and the maximum convex portion of each portion, and determine the average value as the surface unevenness of the present invention. If the surface unevenness is 5 nm or less, the surface becomes smooth and the touch property cannot be improved. In particular, in the case of a high-resistance transparent conductive film, the film thickness is as thin as 10 to 30 nm, so that when there is unevenness of 20 nm or more, carrier mobility is deteriorated, and linearity of etching is impaired.

The ITO film used for the contact resistance type touch panel is required to have a surface resistance of 200 to 3000 Ω / □, excellent uniformity of the resistance, and high transparency. In order for the surface resistance to fall within the above range, it is necessary to reduce the film thickness and / or increase the specific resistance. If the thickness is extremely thin, such as 10 nm or less, it is not preferable because the uniformity of the resistance value is impaired. It is preferable to set it in the range of 10 to 30 nm. A method of increasing the specific resistance to increase the film thickness is also considered, but is not preferable because the transparency of the film is impaired. The film has a transparency of 8 at a linear transmittance of 550 nm.
Films with 0% or more are preferred.

Further, the carrier density tends to increase when the tin doping amount is in the range of 0 to 3% by weight, becomes maximum in the range of 3 to 10% by weight, and monotonically decreases when the amount is 10% by weight or more. Based on the above, in order to maintain the above range of the surface resistance value, the amount of tin in the film was 0.0
It is preferably in the range of 5 to 2.0% by weight, or 10 to 40% by weight.

Specifically, a sputtering method, an electron beam evaporation method, an ion plating method, a chemical vapor deposition method, a pyrosol, And the like. The transparency of the obtained film, the ease of chemical etching, and the like are different depending on the film forming method.

ところ、くっつきは全く見られなかった。In the obtained ITO film, Sn in the film was converted to ICP.
When analyzed by emission spectroscopy, it was 19.6% by weight.
Film thickness 24 nm, surface resistance value 420 Ω / □, specific resistance value,
It was 1.00 × 10 −3 Ω · cm. The uniformity of the surface resistance was within ± 30Ω / □, and the electrical characteristics were good. The surface was measured by AFC at five points, and the surface unevenness was measured to be 15 nm. Furthermore, when the crystal grain size was measured by AFC, it was 28 nm. Further, when X-ray diffraction was measured, absorption was observed on the (400) plane. Further, the rate of collapse of light at 550 nm was 92%. As in Example 1, a test tool was prepared and a similar test was performed. As a result, no sticking was observed.
