Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the resistance low and enable a larger display device with larger capacity by causing a transparent electrically conductive film to consist of indium.tin oxide film doped with silver oxide. CONSTITUTION:A transparent electrically conductive film consists of indium.tin oxide film doped with silver oxide. For example, oxygen and argon are introduced in a vacuum chamber and an indium.tin oxide film doped with silver oxide is fabricated by means of DC magnetron sputtering process using a target of indium.tin oxide containing silver oxide.
