2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the demand for resistive touch panels has been rapidly increasing. This resistive film type touch panel has a configuration in which two transparent conductive films are used, a bias is applied with a potential difference between the two, and the position where the switch is pressed is specified by a voltage drop. In order to identify the position accurately, it is necessary to measure the voltage drop with high accuracy. For that purpose, the sheet resistance is 500 to 20.
A transparent conductive film having a high surface resistivity of about 00Ω / □ is required.

Tin oxide of 10 wt. %, A sintered body of a composite oxide of indium oxide and tin oxide (ITO) has a low resistivity and is widely used as a raw material for forming a transparent conductive film such as a liquid crystal display. On the other hand, a transparent conductive film for a resistance film type transparent touch panel has a sheet resistance of 50.
0 to 2000 Ω / □ is required, and tin oxide is 10

For this reason, a film-forming raw material having a high resistivity is desired, but when the film thickness is increased by a film having a too high resistivity, the transparency is deteriorated and the display quality is lowered, and the raw material is also wasted. . Further, it is desirable that the adhesive force to a substrate such as a glass substrate or a polymer film is equivalent to that of ITO. Therefore, a raw material for forming a transparent conductive film, which has a relatively high resistivity (about 50 to 200 times that of ITO) and has the same adhesion to the substrate as ITO, is desired. Usually, when forming a transparent conductive film for a resistance film type transparent touch panel, the film is formed by using sputtering, but at present, a sputtering target suitable for the above has not been obtained.

In the target material of the present invention, the weight ratio of tin oxide, which has been widely used in the past, is 0.02 to the total weight of indium oxide and tin oxide.
It was found that the above problem can be solved by adding a sub-component that increases resistance to a sintered body containing indium oxide and tin oxide of 0.10 as main components. Based on this finding, the present invention provides: 1.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The resistivity of ITO can be increased by decreasing the tin oxide concentration, but the tin oxide composition is extremely small due to the resistivity to be obtained, so that the reproducibility is good. It becomes difficult to obtain a sintered body that is a raw material for film formation. Therefore, it is preferable that the weight ratio of tin oxide for ITO is 0.02 to 0. 10 with respect to the total weight of indium oxide and tin oxide. Further, by adding silicon oxide, which is a non-conductive substance, the volume contributing to conductivity can be reduced, and the resistivity of the film can be adjusted by the addition amount.

[0008] The optimum range of addition amount of silicon oxide is
40 wt. %. If the amount of silicon oxide added is too large, the resistivity increases too much, so the film thickness must be made thicker, so there is an upper limit to the amount added. The maximum addition amount depends on the film thickness, but 40 wt. % Or less is desirable. Further, by adding a small amount of titanium oxide, it is possible to similarly raise the low efficiency and further improve the adhesiveness to the glass substrate. However, titanium oxide 5w
t. If it is added in excess of%, on the contrary, the adhesion strength of the film will decrease, so there is an upper limit to the amount of addition. By using such a target, a high resistance film having a sheet resistance of 500 Ω / □ or more can be easily formed, and a transparent conductive film having a high surface resistivity suitable for a resistance film type touch panel or the like can be obtained. be able to.

The sputtering method for forming a film using the target of the present invention is carried out by using a target placed on the cathode as Ar.
It is carried out by physically colliding positive ions such as ions, releasing the material constituting the target with the collision energy, and laminating a film of the same composition as the target material on the facing anode side substrate. This is a thin film forming method, and a thin film of several nm to a thick film of several tens of μm can be formed at a stable film formation rate by adjusting the processing time, supply power, and the like. For the sputtering of ITO, the DC magnetron sputtering method is widely used industrially because the process control during film formation is relatively easy and the productivity is high. The present invention can provide a sputtering target suitable for such a film forming method.

The obtained sintered body is ground with a diamond grindstone on a surface grinder, and the side pieces are cut with a diamond cutter. This target cutting piece is metal-bonded to a copper backing plate, and the target surface is polished and finished to form a sputtering target.

Although the sheet resistance increases rapidly when silicon oxide is added, increasing the proportion of tin oxide has the effect of reducing the increase in the sheet resistance. Therefore, the ratio of tin oxide and indium oxide, that is, SnO 2 / (In
2 O 3 + SnO 2 ) is important, and it is necessary to appropriately adjust the amount of tin oxide added and the amount of silicon oxide added depending on the purpose of the film. Further, as is clear from FIG. 2, even if titanium oxide is added, the sheet resistance hardly changes as compared with silicon oxide, but according to the adhesion strength evaluation of Table 1, 2 wt. %, The best adhesion is 6 wt. % Is getting worse. Therefore, the amount of titanium oxide is 1 to 5 wt. %
It is desirable to limit the range.
