Description of the invention: [Technical field of the invention] The present invention relates to an indium tin oxide film system and a two-stage crystal film forming process, which is mainly referred to by the clothing & method, which is said to be good and the rate of change of resistance Compared with *, and more than the weathering and uniformity of the oxide film layer and the indium tin structure with a specific resistance and / / more durable, especially suitable for the indium tin oxide film layer in the touch screen structure [Prior technology] = (Indium Tin 〇xide, ιτ〇) transparent guide _ for the purpose of witnessing the nine products and economic value of the popular products -,: 2 surrounded by: automotive LCD, touch panel, separated Magnetic glass, liquid crystal watch, home appliance liquid crystal panel, solar cell, portable liquid crystal video game, display instrument for measuring instrument, liquid crystal color TV, note-taking computer, portable personal computer, plasma display (pDp), EL, Liquid crystal display (LCD) 'and electrodes for color mirrors and so on. As for the ιτο itself, it is composed of a small amount of tin oxide in the indium oxide, so that the tin atom replaces a part of the ruthenium atom in the indium oxide structure, so that the overall structural composition is also indium oxide GmO3) Mainly, belonging to an oxide semiconductor material, not only has a high energy gap (bandgapEgg2. 9#), allowing visible light to penetrate, more concentrated conductive carriers and mobility; of course, according to itself The conductivity is different and the range of application is also different. The conductive properties of the ΙΤ0 film layer mainly come from tin doping and oxygen vacancy (charge carrier), and if controlled in a fixed tin blend amount, 200913073 (10) oxygen The vacancy is in the layer, and the sum of the two electrons of the bond is also the conductivity of the oxide of the n-type donor (n, e d_r). The oxygen vacancy concentration will be affected by the plating conditions, such as the degree of vacuum and the degree of electrification of the overall TM film and the addition of electricity: the demand for the IT0 transparent conductive film layer is increasing. The Ur: Cr: Excellent preparation method The prior art method that has become a layer is a conventional method for manufacturing a 1τ film. The heating of the glass substrate at a high temperature is carried out in a 200-degree (1) manner: a film layer of crystallization 形成0 is formed on the glass substrate.

In particular, the above-mentioned conventional technology must first rapidly cool and sputter the glass substrate at a high temperature, and then rapidly cool down and cool, so that the strength of the glass substrate is weakened by rapid cooling after high temperature, and the temperature of the high temperature sputtering exceeds the plastic substrate. It can tolerate the range, so it is not confined to the plastic substrate, but its scope of application is severely limited. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a ΙΤ0 film layer which is excellent in weather resistance and uniformity, has a low rate of change in resistance value, and is more thorny and more durable in use, especially It is suitable for the ΙΤ0 film layer of the touch screen. It is mainly for the purpose of not preheating the substrate, and then in the non-heating process under the sputtering chamber (or low) In the above-mentioned conventional 200 to 40 (temperature of TC), the ΙΤ0 sputtering treatment is performed to make the IT0 film layer amorphous, and then the ΙΤ0 film layer is converted into a crystalline state by heat treatment, which is called a two-stage knot day. The invention has the advantages of the present invention. In the present invention, the substrate does not need to be heated at a high temperature and the 'money treatment and rapid cooling' does not change the strength, and of course the original strength of the substrate can be maintained. The second effect is that the ruthenium film layer formed by the invention is in a non-crystalline state after the miscellaneous treatment under the process condition that the splash chamber is not heated, and then is heat treated to become a crystalline state, so oxygen The vacancy concentration is lower than that of the ΙΤ0 film layer of the crystallization process, so it is less affected by the damp heat, k is more weather resistant.) The overall ΙΤ0 film layer uniformity is better (ie, the ΙΤ0 film layer uniformity), resistance The rate of change of value is small. The third effect of 200913073 μ ίίΐί lies in the 1TQ film formed by the invention. The degree of gentry is relatively: full and dense, the size of the crystal grain is relatively large, and the film is relatively thick, and the wear resistance is relatively high. It is better, so it is more scratch-resistant, so that it can be referred to the drawings and the detailed description of the embodiments. The present invention is mainly disclosed in the present invention to obtain the weather-resistant layer W method, and (4) with reference to the second figure. The method for manufacturing the layer includes the following procedures: 1 το a. Preparation - substrate, the substrate can be a transparent substrate, and optionally a (four) glass substrate or a plastic substrate; the glass substrate is determined by sodium = U〇daLimeGlass) or quartz glass is preferred; the plastic substrate is selected from the group consisting of polycarbonates (PC ' pQlycarb_te), polyacids (眶), and polyethylene terephthalate (10). The sour vinegar tree is preferred; the surface of the substrate is first cleaned with (4) good * glass = material to remove the oil from the surface of the glass substrate and dust - glass $ substrate washed with deionized water, will remain The lotion on the surface of the glass substrate and the removal of impurities 4 will be cleaned The glass substrate is dried with a dry and clean air (&Α) to avoid the residue of “water collapse” on the glass substrate, and also to remove the dust on the surface of the substrate—to dry with a hot air knife to ensure the moisture again. Residual S will dry the glass substrate properly for use. b. The construction of the indium Tin Oxide (200913073 ΙΤ0) film layer on the surface of the substrate; in the implementation process, under the process condition that the sputtering chamber is not heated (or lower than the above-mentioned conventional At a temperature of 200 to 400 ° C, a ΙΤ0 film layer is formed on the surface of the substrate by sputtering to form a half-finished product. At this time, the 膜0 film layer is in an amorphous state. The 'substrate' may not be preheated prior to the construction process of the indium tin oxide (Indium Tin Oxide) layer. c. Heat treatment 'The semi-finished product is placed in or processed by a heating device (for example, an oven) at a pre-specified temperature. At this time, different heating conditions can be performed according to the different substrates described above, and an IT film layer of different crystal forms can be formed. : (1) forming a crystalline film layer on the glass substrate, preferably 150 to 40 (TC, especially 300 to 400 ° C, for 5 to 3 hours of heat treatment; (2) The plastic substrate forms another crystalline state IT film layer, which is less than 2 〇 (rc, especially 100 to 160. (; preferably, heat treatment is performed for 1 ~ to 2 hours; after the above two methods (1) Or after the heat treatment in the manner of (2), the crystalline ruthenium film layer having a specific conductivity can be obtained, which is a finished product; as described above, the finished product of the two-stage crystallized film-forming process is formed into a one-piece type The membrane process product has a low oxygen vacancy concentration, so it is less affected by the external environment, such as high: and seat gas, and has good finance and durability; and the resistance value change rate is small, resulting in good uniformity of the whole film. Under the conditions of the finished product, it is crystallized with the conventional-stage臈Processing = crystallized into (four) shaped TM film layer crystallization (4) is more dense than riding, the grain size is relatively large, the surface is relatively thicker, the surface roughness of the silk surface can be 0.4~1.2nm, so it is more scratch resistant and more used. Durability: Due to the fact that the conventional use of segmental crystallization depends on the financial layer, the glass substrate needs to be heated by the high temperature and cooled rapidly by the high temperature of the film, which causes the rapid deterioration of the glass substrate after the high temperature. The strength of the glass becomes weak; and the high heating temperature exceeds a substrate tolerable range', so it is not suitable for plastic substrates. As for the two-stage crystal film formation method adopted by the new invention, after sputtering, Slow and stable treatment makes the ITQ film crystallize, so μ will high temperature and fast drop of the substrate. Therefore, there is no problem of changing the strength. Knowing the resistance value range of the ICO film layer prepared by the two-stage crystal film forming process, 1(10) film layer It can be adjusted to the range of about 805 ohms, and the erect can be applied to the range of about 400 to 600 ohms. Furthermore, the film thickness of the ιτ film layer of the present invention can reach about 15 to 5 〇 nm. Especially suitable for the range of about 20 to 35 nm According to the two-stage crystal film forming process of the present invention, the structure having the ιτ〇 film layer is formed on the glass substrate, and the 兮ιτο film layer has a resistance value of about 200 to 1500 ohms and/or Or the film thickness is about 15 to 50 mn. The structure can be further applied to the touch screen structure.
