First, the method for producing a tin oxide film is to heat the base material itself or to heat the entire reaction chamber containing the base material to thermally decompose the reactive gas around the base material to generate thermal decomposition products. There was a method of forming tin oxide on a substrate. However, these
Since the entire space around the substrate is at a high temperature, the thermal decomposition products of the reactive gas may be further thermally decomposed secondary or tertiary, or the thermal decomposition products may become undecomposed reactive gases. In addition to the disadvantage that bits of various sizes are generated in the formed thin film due to the reaction with There was a risk that a lot of damage would occur to both the formed thin film and the base material, such as deterioration of the m-weave of the material itself and changes in the functional structure already formed on the base material. In response to these, the following manufacturing method has been devised.

That is, a gaseous air stream containing tin compound gas and oxygen gas as main components is sent in contact with the surface of the desired base material in the atmosphere or under reduced pressure, and the surface of the base material is irradiated and heated with a single laser beam. By doing so, the gaseous air stream is instantly thermally decomposed,
A tin oxide film is formed on the surface of the base material. This method is
Since the range in which the reaction occurs is limited to only the extreme surface layer of the base material, which is the laser irradiation area, the generation of bits due to secondary products, which were problems with the former manufacturing method, and errors in base material accuracy due to warpage and distortion of the base material are avoided. It was said that it could prevent the occurrence of

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in reality, even in the latter conventional method, the temperature difference between the beam irradiated area and the non-irradiated area is increased by localized and rapid heating by one beam sweep of the laser. Partial failure of the substrate due to significant thermal expansion strain often occurred. Further, there was a problem in that the film composition was not stabilized due to a rapid temperature rise during film formation.

The figure shows the configuration of an apparatus for manufacturing a transparent conductive film in the atmosphere used in an embodiment of the present invention. A C02 laser oscillator is used for each laser oscillator. 1st
A first laser beam 14 emitted horizontally from the laser oscillator 1 and a second laser beam 15 emitted horizontally from the second laser oscillator 2 have their respective traveling directions changed to the vertical direction by the reflecting mirror 3. Subsequently, it is further swept in the X and Y directions by two rotating mirrors 3. That is, the surface of the glass substrate 5, which is the base material placed on the sample stage 8, is
Two beams are continuously swept and irradiated in two Y directions to heat the substrate surface. The heating temperature is first heated to approximately 300°C with the first laser beam 14, which is slightly lower than the tin oxide production reaction temperature, and then heated to approximately 450°C with the second laser beam 15.
The substrate is heated to an appropriate temperature for the tin oxide production reaction to form a tin oxide film on the substrate surface. The sweeping relationship between these two laser beams means that they irradiate the substrate surface almost continuously on the same sweep line.

At 350° C., the crystallinity is insufficient and the electrical resistance is relatively high, but as the temperature increases, the crystallinity becomes better and the resistance decreases. However, when the temperature exceeds 500° C., the resistance increases due to excessive crystal growth. In the dual laser irradiation process according to the present invention, the substrate surface is heated by the second laser irradiation to about 300°C below the reaction temperature of the reaction gas, and further heated to the reaction temperature of about 450°C by the second laser irradiation,
Deposit tin oxide on the substrate surface. The tin oxide film created by this method does not damage the base material, and it also has a good film composition with almost no instability in the film composition, such as the difference in specific resistance due to the difference in film thickness, which was a problem in the past. I was able to get it. In this way, by dividing the laser irradiation into two stages, it is possible to more precisely control the temperature by the laser, stably providing the optimum temperature for the reaction, and
It is now possible to avoid damage, residual distortion, etc. caused by rapid substrate heating, which often occurred in the past.
