[First Embodiment]
The first embodiment is a transparent conductive laminate in which a transparent conductive layer is formed on at least one surface of a base material, and the transparent conductive layer is first oxidized along the film thickness direction from the base material side. A zinc film and a second zinc oxide film are sequentially formed, the first zinc oxide film is a zinc oxide film not containing indium, and the second zinc oxide film is zinc oxide containing indium. A transparent conductive laminate characterized by being a film.
Hereinafter, the transparent conductive laminate of the first embodiment will be specifically described with reference to the drawings as appropriate.
1.透明導電層
1-1.第1の酸化亜鉛膜
第1の酸化亜鉛膜は、インジウムを含まない酸化亜鉛膜であることを特徴とする。
より具体的には、図1(a)、(c)に示すように、基材12の少なくとも片面に形成される酸化亜鉛膜16であって、インジウムを含まない酸化亜鉛膜であることを特徴とする。
1. Transparent conductive layer 1-1. First Zinc Oxide Film The first zinc oxide film is a zinc oxide film that does not contain indium.
More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1C, the
(1)構成
第1の酸化亜鉛膜を構成する元素としては、酸化亜鉛を主成分として含んでいれば特に制限はなく、導電性を向上させるために、さらにガリウム、アルミニウム、ホウ素、ケイ素、錫、ゲルマニウム、アンチモン、イリジウム、レニウム、セリウム、ジルコニウム、マグネシウム、チタン、バナジウム、マンガン、鉄、コバルト、ニッケル、銅、ニオブ、モリブデン、テクネチウム、ルテニウム、ロジウム、パラジウム、銀、ランタノイド、ハフニウム、タンタル、タングステン、白金、金、ビスマス、アクチノイド、スカンジウム及びイットリウムから選択される少なくとも1種を含んでいることが好ましい。
特に、電気特性に優れる点から、第1の酸化亜鉛膜が、ガリウムをドープしてなる酸化亜鉛膜(以下GZO膜と称する場合がある)であることが好ましい。
(1) Structure The element constituting the first zinc oxide film is not particularly limited as long as it contains zinc oxide as a main component. In order to improve conductivity, gallium, aluminum, boron, silicon, tin , Germanium, antimony, iridium, rhenium, cerium, zirconium, magnesium, titanium, vanadium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, niobium, molybdenum, technetium, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, silver, lanthanoid, hafnium, tantalum, tungsten It is preferable that at least one selected from platinum, gold, bismuth, actinoid, scandium and yttrium is contained.
In particular, from the viewpoint of excellent electrical characteristics, the first zinc oxide film is preferably a zinc oxide film doped with gallium (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a GZO film).
また、第1の酸化亜鉛膜が、ガリウムをドープしてなる酸化亜鉛膜である場合、含まれる各種添加元素の配合量は、XPSの元素分析測定による亜鉛量、ガリウム量、酸素量の合計量(100atom%)に対して、ガリウム量を0.1~10atom%の範囲内の値とすることが好ましい。
この理由は、ガリウム量が、上記範囲外の値となると、電気特性が劣る場合があるためである。
したがって、第1の酸化亜鉛膜が、ガリウムをドープしてなる酸化亜鉛膜である場合、亜鉛量、ガリウム量、酸素量の合計量(100atom%)に対して、ガリウム量を0.5~8atom%の範囲内の値とすることがより好ましく、1~7atom%の範囲内の値であることがさらに好ましい。
Further, when the first zinc oxide film is a zinc oxide film doped with gallium, the amount of various additive elements contained is the total amount of zinc, gallium, and oxygen by XPS elemental analysis. The amount of gallium is preferably set to a value in the range of 0.1 to 10 atom% with respect to (100 atom%).
This is because the electrical characteristics may be inferior when the amount of gallium falls outside the above range.
Therefore, when the first zinc oxide film is a zinc oxide film doped with gallium, the amount of gallium is 0.5 to 8 atoms relative to the total amount of zinc, gallium and oxygen (100 atom%). % Is more preferable, and a value within the range of 1 to 7 atom% is more preferable.
なお、第1の酸化亜鉛膜には、インジウムを含まないことを特徴とする。
ここで、本願発明において、「インジウムを含まない」とは、具体的には、第1の酸化亜鉛膜に含まれる上述の各種添加元素の配合量において、XPSの元素分析測定による亜鉛量、ガリウム量、酸素量、およびインジウム量の合計量(100atom%)に対して、インジウム量を0atom%、または0を超えて0.01atom%未満の範囲内の値であればよい。
また、XPSの元素分析測定による各元素量は、透明導電層全体において、深さ方向のXPS分析によって測定される、各深さにおける元素量の平均値を意味する。
Note that the first zinc oxide film does not contain indium.
Here, in the present invention, “does not contain indium” specifically refers to the amount of zinc by XPS elemental analysis and gallium in the blending amount of the above-mentioned various additive elements contained in the first zinc oxide film. The amount of indium may be 0 atom% or a value in the range of more than 0 and less than 0.01 atom% with respect to the total amount (100 atom%) of the amount, oxygen amount, and indium amount.
Moreover, each element amount by XPS elemental analysis measurement means the average value of the element amount in each depth measured by the XPS analysis of the depth direction in the whole transparent conductive layer.
(2)膜厚
また、第1の酸化亜鉛膜の膜厚が10~300nmの範囲内の値であることが好ましい。
この理由は、第1の酸化亜鉛膜の膜厚が10nm未満の値となると、酸化亜鉛膜の安定的形成が困難となる場合があるためである。
一方、第1の酸化亜鉛膜の膜厚が300nmを超えた値になると、酸化亜鉛膜の形成に過度に時間を要し、生産性が低下したり、下地に対する密着性が低下し、膜反りが生じたりする場合があるためである。
したがって、第1の酸化亜鉛膜の膜厚が20~250nmの範囲内の値であることがより好ましく、30~200nmの範囲内の値であることがさらに好ましい。
なお、第1の酸化亜鉛膜の膜厚(d)は、実施例1において具体的に説明するように、分光エリプソメーターを用いて、測定することができる。
(2) Film thickness The film thickness of the first zinc oxide film is preferably in the range of 10 to 300 nm.
This is because when the thickness of the first zinc oxide film is less than 10 nm, it may be difficult to stably form the zinc oxide film.
On the other hand, when the film thickness of the first zinc oxide film exceeds 300 nm, it takes an excessive amount of time to form the zinc oxide film, resulting in a decrease in productivity and adhesion to the base, resulting in film warpage. This is because there is a case where the problem occurs.
Therefore, the thickness of the first zinc oxide film is more preferably in the range of 20 to 250 nm, and still more preferably in the range of 30 to 200 nm.
The film thickness (d) of the first zinc oxide film can be measured using a spectroscopic ellipsometer, as will be specifically described in Example 1.
(3)比抵抗
また、第1の酸化亜鉛膜16の初期の比抵抗(ρ0)を1×10-4~1×10-2Ω・cmの範囲内の値とすることが好ましい。
この理由は、透明導電層の初期の比抵抗が1×10-4Ω・cm未満の値になると、成膜条件が複雑になる場合があるためである。
一方、透明導電層の初期の比抵抗が1×10-2Ω・cmを超えた値になると、好適な導電性が得られない場合があるためである。
したがって、透明導電膜層の初期の比抵抗を3×10-4~8×10-3Ω・cmの範囲内の値とすることが、より好ましく、5×10-4~5×10-3Ω・cmの範囲内の値とすることがさらに好ましい。
なお、透明導電層の比抵抗(ρ)は、実施例1において具体的に説明するように、透明導電性積層体の膜厚(d)および測定した表面抵抗率(R)より、算出することができる。
(3) Specific Resistance The initial specific resistance (ρ 0 ) of the first
This is because the film forming conditions may be complicated when the initial specific resistance of the transparent conductive layer is less than 1 × 10 −4 Ω · cm.
On the other hand, when the initial specific resistance of the transparent conductive layer exceeds 1 × 10 −2 Ω · cm, suitable conductivity may not be obtained.
Accordingly, the initial specific resistance of the transparent conductive film layer is more preferably set to a value in the range of 3 × 10 −4 to 8 × 10 −3 Ω · cm, and 5 × 10 −4 to 5 × 10 −3. More preferably, the value is within the range of Ω · cm.
The specific resistance (ρ) of the transparent conductive layer should be calculated from the film thickness (d) of the transparent conductive laminate and the measured surface resistivity (R), as specifically described in Example 1. Can do.
1-2.第2の酸化亜鉛膜
第2の酸化亜鉛膜は、インジウムを含む酸化亜鉛膜であることを特徴とする。
より具体的には、図1(a)、(c)に示すように、第1の酸化亜鉛膜16上に形成される酸化亜鉛膜10であって、インジウムを含む酸化亜鉛膜であることを特徴とする。
1-2. Second Zinc Oxide Film The second zinc oxide film is a zinc oxide film containing indium.
More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1C, the
(1)構成
第2の酸化亜鉛膜を構成する元素としては、酸化亜鉛を主成分とし、インジウムを含んでいれば特に制限はないが、導電性を向上させるために、さらにガリウム、アルミニウム、ホウ素、ケイ素、錫、ゲルマニウム、アンチモン、イリジウム、レニウム、セリウム、ジルコニウム、マグネシウム、チタン、バナジウム、マンガン、鉄、コバルト、ニッケル、銅、ニオブ、モリブデン、テクネチウム、ルテニウム、ロジウム、パラジウム、銀、ランタノイド、ハフニウム、タンタル、タングステン、白金、金、ビスマス、アクチノイド、スカンジウム及びイットリウムから選択される少なくとも1種を含んでいることが好ましい。
特に、電気特性および湿熱特性に優れる点から、第2の酸化亜鉛膜が、酸化亜鉛を含むとともにインジウムおよびガリウムをドープしてなる酸化亜鉛膜(以下In-GZO膜と称する場合がある)であることが好ましい。
(1) Structure The element constituting the second zinc oxide film is not particularly limited as long as it contains zinc oxide as a main component and contains indium. However, in order to improve conductivity, further gallium, aluminum, boron , Silicon, tin, germanium, antimony, iridium, rhenium, cerium, zirconium, magnesium, titanium, vanadium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, niobium, molybdenum, technetium, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, silver, lanthanoid, hafnium It is preferable that at least one selected from tantalum, tungsten, platinum, gold, bismuth, actinoid, scandium and yttrium is contained.
In particular, the second zinc oxide film is a zinc oxide film containing zinc oxide and doped with indium and gallium (hereinafter sometimes referred to as an In-GZO film) because of its excellent electrical characteristics and wet heat characteristics. It is preferable.
また、第2の酸化亜鉛膜が、酸化亜鉛を含むとともにインジウムおよびガリウムをドープしてなる酸化亜鉛膜である場合、含まれる各種添加元素の配合量は、透明導電層は、XPSの元素分析測定による亜鉛量、ガリウム量、酸素量、およびインジウム量の合計量(100atom%)に対して、インジウム量を0.01~25atom%の範囲内の値とし、かつ、ガリウム量を0.1~10atom%の範囲内の値とすることが好ましい。
この理由は、透明導電層におけるインジウム量が上記範囲内の値であれば、良好な湿熱特性と電気特性を得ることができるためである。
また、ガリウム量が、上記範囲外の値となると、電気特性が劣る場合があるためである。
すなわち、透明導電層におけるインジウム量が0.01~25atom%の範囲内の値であれば、電気特性と湿熱特性の両方のバランスがよく、湿熱特性に優れる透明導電性積層体を得ることができる。
Further, when the second zinc oxide film is a zinc oxide film containing zinc oxide and doped with indium and gallium, the amount of various additive elements contained is determined by the XPS elemental analysis measurement. The zinc content, the gallium content, the oxygen content, and the total content (100 atom%) of the indium content are set to a value in the range of 0.01 to 25 atom%, and the gallium content is 0.1 to 10 atom%. It is preferable to set the value within the range of%.
This is because if the amount of indium in the transparent conductive layer is a value within the above range, good wet heat characteristics and electrical characteristics can be obtained.
Moreover, it is because an electrical property may be inferior when the amount of gallium becomes a value outside the above range.
That is, when the amount of indium in the transparent conductive layer is a value within the range of 0.01 to 25 atom%, it is possible to obtain a transparent conductive laminate having a good balance between electrical characteristics and wet heat characteristics and excellent wet heat characteristics. .
なお、湿熱特性を良好なものとする点から、透明導電層において、XPSの元素分析測定による亜鉛量、ガリウム量、酸素量、およびインジウム量の合計量(100atom%)に対して、インジウム量を0.02~8atom%の範囲内の値とし、かつ、ガリウム量を0.5~10atom%の範囲内の値とすることが好ましく、インジウム量を0.1~7atom%の範囲内の値とし、かつ、ガリウム量を1~10atom%の範囲内の値とすることがより好ましく、インジウム量を0.1~6atom%の範囲内の値とし、かつ、ガリウム量を1~7atom%の範囲内の値とすることが特に好ましい。
また、湿熱特性および電気特性とのバランスを考慮した場合、XPSの元素分析測定による亜鉛量、ガリウム量、酸素量、およびインジウム量の合計量(100atom%)に対して、インジウム量を、8atom%を超えて25atom%の範囲内の値とし、かつ、ガリウム量を0.5~10atom%の範囲内の値とすることが好ましく、インジウム量を9~22atom%の範囲内の値とし、かつ、ガリウム量を1~10atom%の範囲内の値とすることがより好ましく、インジウム量を10~20atom%の範囲内の値とし、かつ、ガリウム量を1~7atom%の範囲内の値とすることが特に好ましい。
In order to improve the wet heat characteristics, in the transparent conductive layer, the amount of indium with respect to the total amount (100 atom%) of zinc amount, gallium amount, oxygen amount and indium amount by XPS elemental analysis measurement The value is preferably in the range of 0.02 to 8 atom%, the gallium content is preferably in the range of 0.5 to 10 atom%, and the indium content is in the range of 0.1 to 7 atom%. More preferably, the gallium content is in the range of 1 to 10 atom%, the indium content is in the range of 0.1 to 6 atom%, and the gallium content is in the range of 1 to 7 atom%. It is particularly preferable to set the value of.
In consideration of the balance between wet heat characteristics and electrical characteristics, the amount of indium is 8 atom% relative to the total amount (100 atom%) of zinc, gallium, oxygen and indium measured by XPS elemental analysis. And a value in the range of 25 atom%, and preferably the gallium content is in the range of 0.5 to 10 atom%, the indium content is in the range of 9 to 22 atom%, and More preferably, the amount of gallium is set to a value within the range of 1 to 10 atom%, the amount of indium is set to a value within the range of 10 to 20 atom%, and the amount of gallium is set to a value within the range of 1 to 7 atom%. Is particularly preferred.
(2)膜厚
また、第2の酸化亜鉛膜の膜厚が10~300nmの範囲内の値であることが好ましい。
この理由は、第2の酸化亜鉛膜の膜厚が10nm未満の値となると、酸化亜鉛膜の安定的形成が困難となる場合が生じるばかりか、湿熱特性等が、著しく低下する場合があるためである。
一方、第2の酸化亜鉛膜の膜厚が300nmを超えた値になると、酸化亜鉛膜の形成に過度に時間を要し、生産性が低下したり、下地に対する密着性が低下して、膜反りが生じたりする場合があるためである。
したがって、第2の酸化亜鉛膜の膜厚が20~250nmの範囲内の値であることがより好ましく、30~200nmの範囲内の値であることがさらに好ましい。
なお、第2の酸化亜鉛膜の膜厚(d)は、実施例1において具体的に説明するように、分光エリプソメーターを用いて、測定することができる。
(2) Film thickness The film thickness of the second zinc oxide film is preferably a value within the range of 10 to 300 nm.
The reason for this is that when the thickness of the second zinc oxide film is less than 10 nm, stable formation of the zinc oxide film may become difficult, and wet heat characteristics and the like may be significantly reduced. It is.
On the other hand, when the thickness of the second zinc oxide film exceeds 300 nm, it takes an excessive amount of time to form the zinc oxide film, and the productivity decreases or the adhesion to the base decreases. This is because warping may occur.
Therefore, the thickness of the second zinc oxide film is more preferably in the range of 20 to 250 nm, and still more preferably in the range of 30 to 200 nm.
The film thickness (d) of the second zinc oxide film can be measured using a spectroscopic ellipsometer, as will be specifically described in Example 1.
(3)比抵抗
また、第2の酸化亜鉛膜10の初期の比抵抗(ρ0)を5×10-4Ω・cmを超えて、2.1×10-1Ω・cm以下の値とすることが好ましい。
この理由は、第2の酸化亜鉛膜の初期の比抵抗が5×10-4Ω・cm以下の値になると、成膜条件が複雑になる場合があるためである。
一方、第2の酸化亜鉛膜の初期の比抵抗が1×10-1Ω・cmを超えた値になると、好適な導電性が得られない場合があるためである。
したがって、第2の酸化亜鉛膜の初期の比抵抗を5.5×10-4Ω・cm~1×10-2Ω・cmの範囲内の値とすることが、より好ましく、6×10-4Ω・cm~5×10-3Ω・cmの範囲内の値とすることがさらに好ましい。
なお、第2の酸化亜鉛膜の比抵抗(ρ)は、実施例1において具体的に説明するように、透明導電性積層体の膜厚(d)および測定した表面抵抗率(R)より、算出することができる。
(3) Specific resistance The initial specific resistance (ρ 0 ) of the second
This is because, when the initial specific resistance of the second zinc oxide film becomes a value of 5 × 10 −4 Ω · cm or less, the film forming conditions may be complicated.
On the other hand, if the initial specific resistance of the second zinc oxide film exceeds 1 × 10 −1 Ω · cm, suitable conductivity may not be obtained.
Therefore, the initial specific resistance of the second zinc oxide film is more preferably set to a value in the range of 5.5 × 10 −4 Ω · cm to 1 × 10 −2 Ω · cm, more preferably 6 × 10 − More preferably, the value is within the range of 4 Ω · cm to 5 × 10 −3 Ω · cm.
The specific resistance (ρ) of the second zinc oxide film is determined from the film thickness (d) of the transparent conductive laminate and the measured surface resistivity (R), as specifically described in Example 1. Can be calculated.

For example, a method for forming the above-described material on a substrate by a vapor deposition method, a sputtering method, an ion plating method, a thermal CVD method, a plasma CVD method, or the like. A method in which a solution obtained by dissolving or dispersing the above-described material in an organic solvent is applied onto a substrate by a known application method, and the resulting coating film is appropriately dried to form a coating film. Examples thereof include a method of performing surface modification such as atmospheric pressure plasma, ion implantation, and lamp annealing.
また、ガスバリア層の厚みは特に制限されるものではなく、通常20nm~50μmの範囲内の値であることが好ましい。
この理由は、このような所定膜厚のガスバリア層とすることによって、さらに優れたガスバリア性や密着性が得られるとともに、柔軟性と、被膜強度とを両立させることができるためである。
したがって、ガスバリア層の膜厚を、30nm~1μmの範囲内の値とすることがより好ましく、40nm~500nmの範囲内の値とすることがさらに好ましい。
Further, the thickness of the gas barrier layer is not particularly limited, and is usually preferably a value within the range of 20 nm to 50 μm.
The reason for this is that by using such a gas barrier layer having a predetermined film thickness, further excellent gas barrier properties and adhesion can be obtained, and at the same time, both flexibility and coating strength can be achieved.
Therefore, the film thickness of the gas barrier layer is more preferably set to a value within the range of 30 nm to 1 μm, and further preferably set to a value within the range of 40 nm to 500 nm.
また、ガスバリア層の40℃、相対湿度90%の雰囲気下で測定される水蒸気透過率を0.1g/m2/day以下の値とすることが好ましく、0.05g/m2/day以下の値とすることがより好ましく、0.01g/m2/day以下の値とすることがさらに好ましい。
この理由は、このような水蒸気透過率の値とすることによって、透明導電層が劣化することを防ぎ、耐湿熱性に優れたガスバリア性が得られるためである。
なお、ガスバリア層の水蒸気透過率としては、公知方法で測定することができ、例えば、市販の水蒸気透過率測定装置を用いて測定することができる。
Further, 40 ° C. of the gas barrier layer, a water vapor permeability as measured in an atmosphere of 90% RH is preferably not more than the value 0.1g / m 2 / day, 0.05g /
The reason for this is that by setting such a value of water vapor transmission rate, the transparent conductive layer can be prevented from deteriorating and gas barrier properties excellent in moisture and heat resistance can be obtained.
In addition, it can measure by a well-known method as a water vapor transmission rate of a gas barrier layer, For example, it can measure using a commercially available water vapor transmission rate measuring apparatus.

より具体的には、本願発明は、透明導電層が、電気特性に優れるインジウムを含まない第1の酸化亜鉛膜と、湿熱特性に優れるインジウムを含む第2の酸化亜鉛膜とから形成されてなるため、第2の酸化亜鉛膜を湿熱劣化抑制層として用いることで、2層の相乗効果により、透明導電性積層体の初期の比抵抗を増加させることなく、良好な湿熱特性を有する透明導電性積層体を得ることができる。
なお、透明導電層の比抵抗(ρ0、ρ1)は、実施例1において具体的に説明するように、表面抵抗測定装置を用いて、測定することができる。
(2) Wet heat characteristics The initial resistivity of the transparent
More specifically, in the present invention, the transparent conductive layer is formed of a first zinc oxide film not containing indium having excellent electrical characteristics and a second zinc oxide film containing indium having excellent wet heat characteristics. Therefore, by using the second zinc oxide film as a moist heat deterioration suppressing layer, the transparent conductivity having good moist heat characteristics without increasing the initial specific resistance of the transparent conductive laminate by the synergistic effect of the two layers. A laminate can be obtained.
In addition, the specific resistance (ρ 0 , ρ 1 ) of the transparent conductive layer can be measured using a surface resistance measuring device as specifically described in Example 1.
ここで、図2を参照して、透明導電性積層体における第2の透明導電膜の膜厚と、環境試験前後における比抵抗の変化との関係を説明する。
すなわち、図2の横軸に、第2の酸化亜鉛膜の膜厚が採って示してあり、縦軸に、60℃、相対湿度95%の条件下での保管経過時間が採って示してあり、縦軸に、ρ1/ρ0で表わされる比率が採って示してある。
かかる特性曲線より、湿熱劣化抑制層として第2の酸化亜鉛膜を第1の酸化亜鉛膜に備えることによって、著しく透明導電性積層体の湿熱特性が向上していることが理解される。
なお、各試料は、実施例に詳細を記載するが、基材上に、第1の酸化亜鉛膜として、ZnO:Ga2O3=94.3重量%:5.7重量%の重量比を有する焼結体を用いて厚さ100nmに成膜し、さらに第2の酸化亜鉛膜として、ZnO:Ga2O3:In2O3=93.3重量%:5.7重量%:1.0重量%の重量比を有する焼結体を用いて各膜厚に成膜した透明導電性積層体を用いている。
Here, with reference to FIG. 2, the relationship between the film thickness of the 2nd transparent conductive film in a transparent conductive laminated body, and the change of the specific resistance before and behind an environmental test is demonstrated.
That is, the horizontal axis of FIG. 2 shows the thickness of the second zinc oxide film, and the vertical axis shows the elapsed storage time under conditions of 60 ° C. and relative humidity 95%. On the vertical axis, the ratio represented by ρ 1 / ρ 0 is taken.
From this characteristic curve, it is understood that the wet heat characteristics of the transparent conductive laminate are remarkably improved by providing the first zinc oxide film with the second zinc oxide film as the wet heat deterioration suppressing layer.
Each sample is described in detail in Example, on a substrate, a first zinc oxide film, ZnO: Ga 2 O 3 = 94.3 wt%: 5.7 wt% of the weight ratio The second zinc oxide film is formed as ZnO: Ga 2 O 3 : In 2 O 3 = 93.3% by weight: 5.7% by weight: 1. The transparent conductive laminated body formed into a film in each film thickness using a sintered body having a weight ratio of 0% by weight is used.
(3)表面抵抗率
また、本発明の透明導電性積層体の表面抵抗率(R)は、1000Ω/□以下の値であることが好ましい。
より具体的には、透明導電性積層体の表面抵抗率が1000Ω/□を超えた値となると、透明導電性積層体として好適な導電性が得られない場合があるためである。
したがって、透明導電性積層体の表面抵抗率が、500Ω/□以下の値であることがより好ましく、200Ω/□以下の値であることがさらに好ましい。
なお、表面抵抗率の測定方法については、実施例で具体的に説明するように、表面抵抗測定装置を用いて測定することができる。

More specifically, when the surface resistivity of the transparent conductive laminate is a value exceeding 1000 Ω / □, conductivity suitable for the transparent conductive laminate may not be obtained.
Therefore, the surface resistivity of the transparent conductive laminate is more preferably a value of 500Ω / □ or less, and further preferably a value of 200Ω / □ or less.
In addition, about the measuring method of surface resistivity, it can measure using a surface resistance measuring apparatus so that it may demonstrate concretely in an Example.

Explained.
1.工程(1):基材および焼結体を準備する工程
工程(1)は、基材および焼結体を準備する工程である。
すなわち、図1(a)、(c)に例示される第1の酸化亜鉛膜16は、酸化亜鉛を主成分とするとともに酸化インジウムを含まない焼結体から成膜することを特徴とする。
また、第2の酸化亜鉛膜10は、酸化亜鉛を主成分とするとともに、少なくとも酸化インジウムを含む焼結体から成膜することを特徴とする。
なお、基材の詳細については、既に記載した通りであるため、省略する。
1. Step (1): Step of Preparing Base Material and Sintered Body Step (1) is a step of preparing the base material and the sintered body.
That is, the first
The second
The details of the base material are the same as described above, and will be omitted.
(1)第1の酸化亜鉛膜焼結体
また、第1の酸化亜鉛膜が、酸化亜鉛を主成分とするとともに、酸化インジウムを含まず、酸化ガリウムを含む焼結体から成膜する場合について、説明する。
すなわち、第1の酸化亜鉛膜を形成する焼結体において、当該焼結体の全体量に対して、酸化亜鉛の配合量を90~99.9重量%の範囲内の値とし、酸化ガリウムの配合量を0.1~10重量%の範囲内の値とすることが好ましい。
この理由は、焼結体の全体量に対して、酸化ガリウムの配合量が0.1重量%未満の場合は、成膜後の第1の酸化亜鉛膜に含まれるガリウムの量が著しく少なくなり、十分な電気特性が得られない場合があるためである。
一方、酸化ガリウムの量が10重量%を超える場合は、成膜後の第1の酸化亜鉛膜に含まれるガリウムの量が増加するため、比抵抗が大きな値となり、電気特性が低下する場合があるためである。
したがって、焼結体の全体量に対して、酸化亜鉛の配合量を92~99重量%の範囲内の値とし、酸化ガリウムの配合量を1~8重量%の範囲内の値とすることがより好ましい。
また、焼結体の全体量に対して、酸化亜鉛の配合量を93~99重量%の範囲内の値とし、酸化ガリウムの配合量を1~7重量%の範囲内の値とすることがさらに好ましい。
(1) First Zinc Oxide Film Sintered Body Further, the first zinc oxide film is formed from a sintered body containing zinc oxide as a main component and not containing indium oxide but containing gallium oxide. ,explain.
That is, in the sintered body forming the first zinc oxide film, the blending amount of zinc oxide is set to a value within the range of 90 to 99.9% by weight with respect to the total amount of the sintered body, and gallium oxide The blending amount is preferably set to a value within the range of 0.1 to 10% by weight.
The reason for this is that when the amount of gallium oxide is less than 0.1% by weight relative to the total amount of the sintered body, the amount of gallium contained in the first zinc oxide film after film formation is significantly reduced. This is because sufficient electrical characteristics may not be obtained.
On the other hand, when the amount of gallium oxide exceeds 10% by weight, the amount of gallium contained in the first zinc oxide film after film formation increases, so that the specific resistance becomes a large value and the electrical characteristics may be deteriorated. Because there is.
Therefore, the blending amount of zinc oxide is set to a value in the range of 92 to 99% by weight and the blending amount of gallium oxide is set to a value in the range of 1 to 8% by weight with respect to the total amount of the sintered body. More preferred.
Further, with respect to the total amount of the sintered body, the blending amount of zinc oxide is set to a value within the range of 93 to 99% by weight, and the blending amount of gallium oxide is set to a value within the range of 1 to 7% by weight. Further preferred.
(2)第2の酸化亜鉛膜焼結体
また、第2の酸化亜鉛膜が、酸化亜鉛を主成分とするとともに、酸化インジウムおよび酸化ガリウムをさらに含む焼結体から成膜する場合について、説明する。
すなわち、第2の酸化亜鉛膜を形成する焼結体において、当該焼結体の全体量に対して、酸化亜鉛の配合量を15~99.98重量%の範囲内の値とし、酸化ガリウムの配合量を0.01~15重量%の範囲内の値とし、かつ、酸化インジウムの配合量を0.01~70重量の範囲内の値とすることが好ましい。
この理由は、配合量が制御された酸化亜鉛-酸化ガリウム-酸化インジウムの三元系焼結体を用いることにより、湿熱特性に優れた第2の酸化亜鉛膜を効率的に成膜することができ、ひいては、生産効率を向上させることができるためである。
より具体的には、焼結体の全体量に対して、酸化インジウムの配合量が0.01重量%未満の場合は、成膜後の第2の酸化亜鉛膜に含まれるインジウムの量が著しく少なくなり、十分な湿熱特性が得られない場合があるためである。
一方、酸化インジウムの量が70重量%を超える場合は、成膜後の第2の酸化亜鉛膜に含まれるインジウムの量が著しく増加してしまう場合があるためである。
したがって、焼結体の全体量に対して、酸化亜鉛の配合量を27~99.4重量%の範囲内の値とし、酸化ガリウムの配合量を0.5~8重量%の範囲内の値とし、かつ、酸化インジウムの配合量を0.1~65重量の範囲内の値とすることがより好ましい。
また、焼結体の全体量に対して、酸化亜鉛の配合量を33~98.7重量%の範囲内の値とし、酸化ガリウムの配合量を1~7重量%の範囲内の値とし、かつ、酸化インジウムの配合量を0.3~60重量%の範囲内の値とすることがさらに好ましい。
(2) Second Zinc Oxide Film Sintered Body Also, the case where the second zinc oxide film is formed from a sintered body containing zinc oxide as a main component and further containing indium oxide and gallium oxide will be described. To do.
That is, in the sintered body forming the second zinc oxide film, the blending amount of zinc oxide is set to a value within the range of 15 to 99.98% by weight with respect to the total amount of the sintered body, The blending amount is preferably set to a value within the range of 0.01 to 15% by weight, and the indium oxide content is preferably set to a value within the range of 0.01 to 70% by weight.
The reason for this is that by using a ternary sintered body of zinc oxide-gallium oxide-indium oxide whose amount is controlled, a second zinc oxide film having excellent wet heat characteristics can be efficiently formed. This is because production efficiency can be improved.
More specifically, when the blending amount of indium oxide is less than 0.01% by weight with respect to the total amount of the sintered body, the amount of indium contained in the second zinc oxide film after film formation is remarkably large. This is because there may be a case where sufficient wet heat characteristics are not obtained.
On the other hand, when the amount of indium oxide exceeds 70% by weight, the amount of indium contained in the second zinc oxide film after film formation may increase remarkably.
Accordingly, the zinc oxide content is within the range of 27 to 99.4% by weight and the gallium oxide content is within the range of 0.5 to 8% by weight relative to the total amount of the sintered body. More preferably, the blending amount of indium oxide is set to a value within the range of 0.1 to 65 weight.
The blending amount of zinc oxide is set to a value within the range of 33 to 98.7% by weight, and the blending amount of gallium oxide is set to a value within the range of 1 to 7% by weight with respect to the total amount of the sintered body. Further, it is more preferable that the blending amount of indium oxide is a value within the range of 0.3 to 60% by weight.
2.工程(2):第1の酸化亜鉛膜の形成工程
工程(2)は、図1(a)に示すように、基材12の少なくとも片面に第1の酸化亜鉛膜16を形成する方法である。
第1の酸化亜鉛膜を形成する方法として、例えば、スパッタリング法や蒸着法に代表される物理的作製法と、化学気相成長法に代表される化学的作製法が挙げられる。
これらの中でも、簡便に酸化亜鉛膜が形成できることから、スパッタリング法または蒸着法が好ましい。すなわち、スパッタリング法または蒸着法により形成することにより、形成される第1の酸化亜鉛膜の組成を容易に制御することができるため、効率よく第1の酸化亜鉛膜を形成することができる。
2. Step (2): Step of Forming First Zinc Oxide Film Step (2) is a method of forming the first
As a method for forming the first zinc oxide film, for example, a physical manufacturing method typified by a sputtering method or a vapor deposition method and a chemical manufacturing method typified by a chemical vapor deposition method can be given.
Among these, a sputtering method or a vapor deposition method is preferable because a zinc oxide film can be easily formed. That is, since the composition of the first zinc oxide film to be formed can be easily controlled by forming by sputtering or vapor deposition, the first zinc oxide film can be formed efficiently.
より具体的なスパッタリング法として、DCスパッタリング法、DCマグネトロンスパッタリング法、RFスパッタリング法、RFマグネトロンスパッタリング法、DC+RF重畳スパッタリング法、DC+RF重畳マグネトロンスパッタリング法、対向ターゲットスパッタリング法、ECRスパッタリング法、デュアルマグネトロンスパッタリング法等が挙げられる。
また、より具体的な蒸着法として、抵抗加熱法、電子線加熱法、レーザー加熱法、アーク蒸着法、および誘導加熱法等が挙げられる。
More specific sputtering methods include DC sputtering method, DC magnetron sputtering method, RF sputtering method, RF magnetron sputtering method, DC + RF superposition sputtering method, DC + RF superposition magnetron sputtering method, counter target sputtering method, ECR sputtering method, dual magnetron sputtering method. Etc.
More specific vapor deposition methods include a resistance heating method, an electron beam heating method, a laser heating method, an arc vapor deposition method, and an induction heating method.
また、スパッタリングまたは蒸着の条件としては、特に限定されないが、背圧としては、1×10-2Pa以下の値が好ましく、1×10-3Pa以下の値がより好ましい。
また、アルゴンガスを系内に導入する形成方法を選択した場合、系内圧力を0.1~5Pa、より好ましくは0.2~1Paの範囲内の値とすることが好ましい。
さらに、スパッタリング法または蒸着法で、系内に導入するガス種は、アルゴン(Ar)もしくはアルゴン(Ar)と酸素(O2)の混合ガスを用いることが生産コスト上好ましいが、Ar以外の希ガス、窒素(N2)等を用いても良い。混合ガスを用いる場合、かかる混合比(O2/(Ar+O2))を0.01~20の範囲内の値とすることが好ましく、0.1~10の範囲内の値とすることがさらに好ましい。
この理由は、アルゴンと酸素の混合比が上記範囲であれば、比抵抗が低く、反射率が低い導電層を成膜することができるためである。
The conditions for sputtering or vapor deposition are not particularly limited, but the back pressure is preferably 1 × 10 −2 Pa or less, and more preferably 1 × 10 −3 Pa or less.
In addition, when a formation method in which argon gas is introduced into the system is selected, the internal pressure is preferably set to a value in the range of 0.1 to 5 Pa, more preferably 0.2 to 1 Pa.
Furthermore, it is preferable in terms of production cost that argon (Ar) or a mixed gas of argon (Ar) and oxygen (O 2 ) is used as a gas species to be introduced into the system by sputtering or vapor deposition, but rare gases other than Ar are used. Gas, nitrogen (N 2 ), or the like may be used. When a mixed gas is used, the mixing ratio (O 2 / (Ar + O 2 )) is preferably set to a value within the range of 0.01 to 20, and more preferably set to a value within the range of 0.1 to 10. preferable.
This is because when the mixing ratio of argon and oxygen is in the above range, a conductive layer having a low specific resistance and a low reflectance can be formed.
また、基材上に透明導電層を形成する際の基材の温度を10~150℃の範囲内の値とすることが好ましい。
この理由は、基材の温度が10~150℃の範囲内の値であれば、軟化点が比較的低い基材であっても、好適に透明導電層を形成することができるためである。
In addition, the temperature of the substrate when forming the transparent conductive layer on the substrate is preferably set to a value within the range of 10 to 150 ° C.
This is because, if the temperature of the substrate is a value within the range of 10 to 150 ° C., the transparent conductive layer can be suitably formed even with a substrate having a relatively low softening point.
