Description

A kind of method of preparing ITO target from nano homogeneous ITO powder
Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of nano material, in particular for the method for a kind of preparing ITO target from nano homogeneous ITO powder of indicating meter transparent conductive film and special glass ITO sputtering target.
Background technology
So-called ITO (Indium-Tin-Oxide) is meant the composite oxides of Indium (indium) and Tin (tin).Having good transmittance, electroconductibility and high infrared reflection rate etc. by the ITO target through the ito thin film of magnetron sputtering preparation, is very important electron functional materials of information industry.Be mainly used in following three big fields:
1) display industry is as LCD liquid-crystal display, PDP plasma display, inorganic EL and OLED display.
2) solar cell;
3) features glass is as infrared reflection glass, uvioresistant glass, light shield and glass disk etc.
The ITO target preparation method who extensively adopts mainly contains two kinds at present:
A kind of is to adopt indium oxide powder and stannic oxide powder to carry out the ball milling mechanically mixing according to a certain percentage, mixes aftershaping, carries out sintering then and makes the ITO target.
Another kind is to adopt chemical precipitation method to prepare biphase ITO powder mix, and through high-temperature calcination, the secondary ball milling fragmentation makes the ITO powder, and moulding is then carried out sintering and made the ITO target.
Patent of invention CN1412342A " sputtering target " joins the stannic oxide powder of the indium oxide powder of 90 weight % and 10 weight % and dispersion agent, tackiness agent and ion exchanged water to carry out ball milling in the nylon spherical tank unshakable in one's determination and mix, and makes base substrate by isostatic cool pressing (CIP) then.Then, the sintering oven that this base substrate is placed on pure oxygen atmosphere carries out sintering and makes the ITO target.This method may there are the following problems:
1) ITO target general requirement is high-purity, reaches 4N (99.99%).This invention will make Indium sesquioxide and stannic oxide thorough mixing, needs to add dispersion agent, tackiness agent, and mixes through long ball milling, and this may cause sneaking into of impurity, thereby reduces the quality of ITO target.
2) in order to make the ITO target have excellent conductivity, final ITO target requires to be the single-phase crystalline structure of body-centred cubic Indium sesquioxide that promptly stannic oxide must be solidly soluted in the Indium sesquioxide body-centered cubic crystal structure fully.Indium sesquioxide and two kinds of mechanical mixturies that mix of stannic oxide are adopted in this invention, can cause solid solution diffusion difficulty in the sintering process.
Patent of invention CN03118371.9 " indium-tin oxide target material preparation method " has explained the method that chemical coprecipitation prepares the ITO powder, be the high pure metal indium is dissolved in hydrochloric acid and mixes with a certain proportion of tin chloride, add additive citric acid, urea etc., obtain the ITO presoma through homogeneous coprecipitation, with unwanted other ions of the pure water flush away overwhelming majority, elimination moisture under vacuum, and use pure water drip washing, use ethanol drip washing at last, oven dry makes throw out remain dispersity particle preferably, by calcining in 600 ℃ of tunnel furnace, and in 500 ℃ of nitrogen atmosphere reduction furnaces, reduce deoxidation, then this powder is carried out the pressed compact sintering and make the ITO target.There are the following problems for this method:
Production process is long, the Cl in the finished product -Be not easy to get rid of in negative ion, foreign matter content is difficult to control; Be difficult to form monophasic ito powder, product is the mechanical mixture of Indium sesquioxide and stannic oxide, can cause solid solution diffusion difficulty in the sintering process, influences the conductivity of final ITO target.
Summary of the invention
For the two-phase structure that overcomes present ITO powder is difficult to solid solution in sintering process, cause that electroconductibility is not high, shortcomings such as impurity are sneaked in chemical method powder process easily, the invention provides a kind of method of preparing ITO target from nano homogeneous ITO powder, the nanometer homogeneous phase ITO powder prepared according to this method has the single-phase indium oxide crystal structure of the complete solid solution of stannic oxide, has high purity, high crystalline, good dispersity, mobile characteristics such as strong, after making base substrate with nanometer homogeneous phase ITO powder again, under oxygen atmosphere, carry out sintering, the ITO target that obtained performance is good.
