Fig. 13 is a graph showing the results of measuring the surface roughness of the test piece shown in fig. 12.
FIG. 13a is an ITO thin film of example 1, and FIG. 13b is an ITO thin film of comparative example 1. For the measurement of the surface roughness, an ET200 type fine shape measuring apparatus manufactured by Xiaozhu, K.K. was used. In addition, for the photomicrograph of the surface indentation and the measurement, a scanning probe microscope (Dimension Icon SPM) manufactured by bruker corporation was used.
The ITO thin film of example 1 had a surface average roughness ra (nm) of 4.1, and the ITO thin film of comparative example 1 had a surface average roughness ra (nm) of 9.5. Further, the surface average roughness ra (nm) of the double-sided hard coat film substrate used in example 1 was 5.
In the case of using an ITO film and requiring a low surface resistance value, there is generally a method of increasing the thickness of the ITO film layer.
(example 4)
The amorphous ITO film was formed to a film thickness of about 320nm by the same method as in example 1.
The total light transmittance of the ITO film at this time was about 82%, and the surface resistance R was about 9 (. omega./□).
In addition, it was confirmed that the average hole diameter and the hole ratio of the ITO film were the same as those of the amorphous high-density film in example 1, and the resistance value did not change with time.
Comparative example 4
Comparative example 4 an ITO film (having a thickness of about 300nm) having a surface resistance R of 15(Ω/□) was formed by sputtering plating in the same manner as in comparative example 1.
In order to prevent the resistance value from changing with time, the ITO film was heated in the atmosphere at about 150 ℃ for about 50 minutes to form a thin film crystallized ITO film.
As a result, curling with the ITO film surface as the upper surface occurs on the transparent conductive film, cracks (fissures) occur in a part of the ITO film, and the surface resistance value becomes R10 to infinity (fissured portion) (Ω/□), and a stable resistance value cannot be obtained.
The film density will be described below.
The film density is derived from the void fraction per unit area. The void fraction is defined as the ratio of the total length of the hole diameter of the measured recess to the measured length. Then, the recess having a depth of 22nm or more was regarded as a hole, and the diameter at the position of the recess depth 1/2 was regarded as the size of the hole (hole diameter).
As a result of measurement, the ITO thin film of example 1 had an average hole diameter of 0.32 μm and a hole rate of 9.5%, and the ITO thin film of comparative example 1 had an average hole diameter of 0.46 μm and a hole rate of 36.5%.
The ITO thin film of example 1 had a hole rate of 9.5% and thus a film density of 90.5%, and the ITO thin film of comparative example 1 had a hole rate of 36.5% and thus a film density of 63.5%.
In this way, the ITO thin film of the present invention has a high-density film as the amorphous ITO film by setting the film thickness of the amorphous ITO film to be in the range of 30nm to 320nm and the surface resistance of the amorphous ITO film to be in the range of 9 to 105(Ω/□), and thus can provide an ITO thin film which is improved in stability, has a resistance value which does not change with time, is improved in moisture resistance and gas barrier properties, and is free from cracks due to bending.
The surface average roughness of the amorphous ITO film is preferably 9nm or less, more preferably 4.1nm or less, and by setting the surface average roughness of the amorphous ITO film to 9nm or less, the film density of the amorphous ITO film can be set to 65% or more, and the stability can be improved.
The film density of the amorphous ITO film is preferably 65% or more, more preferably 90% or more, and the stability can be improved by making the film density of the amorphous ITO film 65% or more.
SnO contained in amorphous ITO film2Preferably, the content is in the range of 2 to 7 wt%, and more preferably 5 wt% as in example 1 and example 2. By adding SnO2Setting in the range of 2 wt% to 7 wt% can enhance transparency.
Further, as shown in example 3, it is preferable that the first ITO film as well as the second ITO film has a film thickness in the range of 30nm to 320nm and a surface resistance of the amorphous ITO film is in the range of 9 to 105(Ω/□). By changing the first ITO film or the second ITO film into such an ITO thin film, a transparent conductive thin film excellent in conductivity, transparency, and durability can be provided.
Further, the second ITO film was set to an amorphous ITO film as follows: the thickness of the film is in the range of 30nm to 320nm, the surface resistance of the amorphous ITO film is in the range of 9 to 105 (omega/□), the thin film metal layer is an Ag layer with the thickness of 10nm to 20nm, so that Ag with poor durability can be protected by the second ITO film to improve the durability, and the total light transmittance of about 50% of Ag can be improved to about 90% by the second ITO film.
In example 3, Ag is used as the thin-film metal layer, but is not particularly limited to Ag, and Cu, Al, Au, Ni/Cr, Ti, Sn, or the like may be used alone or an alloy consisting of two or more of them may be used.
