111 When it becomes necessary to improve the light transmittance without reducing the specific resistance value of the conductive film, maintaining the specific resistance value at a low resistance requires reducing the film thickness of the electrode. Therefore, good etching performance is also possible.If the film thickness of the transparent conductive film exceeds 200 mm, the etching time becomes longer, causing pattern breakage and resistance non-uniformity due to deterioration of the film surface condition. This causes a decrease in yield.

In addition to maintaining the specific resistance of X 10-' Ω・cm, we aimed for an even lower specific resistance value, made the conductive film more thick, shortened the etching time, improved the yield, and achieved a light transmittance of 90%. The objective of the present invention is to ensure the same level of performance, and we have investigated the addition of elements not found in the prior application.

発明に到った。[Means for Solving the Problems] The present inventor focused on the fact that when a certain metal oxide is added with an element having a valence different from that of the metal, it becomes a semiconductor by controlling the valence, and developed a method using indium oxide (In20a) as the main component. When lowering the resistance of a transparent conductive film by adding an element other than trivalent, it is necessary to add an element that is smaller than the trivalent indium ion radius and can exist as an interstitial ion, so that lattice distortion does not become large. As a result of various studies, we have arrived at the present invention.

ときあるいはPJSを1−11−1O%添加したとき比
抵抗は2 X 10−’Ω・Cl1l以下となり好まし
い。Adding NiO or P2O5 to In□O8 lowers the resistance. In particular, when NiO is added in an amount of 2 to 25 mo1% or PJS is added in an amount of 1-11-10%, the specific resistance becomes less than 2 x 10-'Ω·Cl1l, which is preferable.

2O,によって置換えても同様の良好な効果が得られる
。In addition, some of the SnO□ added in conventional ITO is replaced with P.
A similar good effect can be obtained by replacing it with 2O.

%以下のものにつき効果がある。In this case, Snug contained in ITO is 20 mo1
% or less is effective.

た抵抗値が劣る。蒸着速度が■0ス/secを越えても
膜の透過率、抵抗値が劣る。At this time, if the 0□ partial pressure is too lower than the value in L, the membrane transmittance will be low and the resistance value will be high. As the 02 partial pressure increases, the transmittance increases and the resistance value decreases, but if it becomes too high, the resistance value increases. Further, if the substrate temperature is less than 200°C, the transmittance and resistance value will be poor, and if it exceeds 350°C, the resistance value will be poor again. Even if the deposition rate exceeds 0 s/sec, the film's transmittance and resistance are poor.
以上のことを考慮しつつ、膜の透過率が90%以上で、
もっとも低い抵抗値をとるスパッタリング条件を選ぶこ
とになる。Considering the above, if the membrane transmittance is 90% or more,
The sputtering conditions that provide the lowest resistance value are selected.

が適当な条件である。The process of not introducing Ar gas but introducing oxygen gas and heating the substrate is similar to sputtering, and the deposition rate is determined by the voltage, current, and beam diameter of the electron beam. By appropriately selecting the 0□ partial pressure, substrate temperature, and deposition rate, a film with a transmittance of 90% or more and the lowest resistance value is obtained.
