Description of the Invention (f) [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a transparent electrode film used for a display element having a liquid crystal display as a core and a sputtering target for forming the transparent electrode film. [Background Art] An ITO (composite oxide containing indium-tin as a main component: In203_SnO2) film 'is widely used as a transparent electrode (film) such as a display element having a liquid crystal display as its core. As a method for forming the ITO film, a vacuum vapor deposition method, a sputtering method, or the like is generally used as a method called a physical vapor deposition method. In particular, from the viewpoint of operability and stability of a thin film, it is preferably This ITO film was formed using a magnetron sputtering method. The formation of the thin film by the sputtering method is such that positive ions such as Ar (argon) ions physically hit a target provided on the cathode, and the energy constituting the target is released by the impact energy. The material, on the opposite anode substrate, is used to laminate a thin film of approximately the same composition as the sub-material. The coating method by sputtering method has the following characteristics: It can adjust its processing time or supply power Etc. At a stable film formation speed, a thin film in the unit of Angstrom (A) is formed to a thickness of several tens of meters per meter. However, the most widely used ITO-based transparent electrode film has a good transmittance of visible light. And conductivity, but 'mainly the following problems occur. _3 —---- This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) I -------- Order-- ------- Line 1 · r · I — II -----— — — — — — — — — — — I. 522480 A7 ------- —__ B7 _____ V. Description of the invention ( >) The first problem is that the quality of the film is uneven and the etching characteristics are poor when the circuit is formed. In recent years, it has been required to increase the pixel density in display devices or display input devices to achieve a dense screen. However, in accordance with the foregoing requirements, the density of transparent electrode patterns has also been required. For example, in a liquid crystal display device, it is required to have a high degree of etching processability because it is formed on a portion of a thin line such as a wiring width of 20 to 50 // m. To improve the shortcomings of such ITO transparent electrode films, IXO (In203_ZnO) films have been proposed. However, this IXO (Ιη203-Zη0) film has a significantly higher etchability than a ΠΌ film, but it has a problem of poor conductivity and insufficient resistance to acids, alkalis, and other chemical resistance and water resistance. In addition, the increased etchability causes adverse effects, and there is a tendency to overetch, which is not necessarily an appropriate material. The second problem is the existence of a tin-rich phase in the target for forming an ITO transparent electrode film. This tin-rich phase becomes the cause of the nodule mentioned later. In other words, in the case of forming an ITO film by sputtering, 'fine projections called spheres occur in the sputtering portion of the target surface, and the spheres cause abnormal discharge or splash, so that Problems occur with reduced sputtering rate. In addition, due to the abnormal discharge or splashing of the pellets, coarse particles (fine particles) float in the sputtering chamber, and the fine particles are attached to the formed film, which causes a reduction in quality. From the above, it is known that in actual manufacturing, the pellets generated on the target must be removed regularly. This causes a problem that the production efficiency is reduced. Therefore, a target with a small number of pellets has always been the desired one. ___ ^ 4_____ This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 public love) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)

Description of the Invention (^) As far as the third problem is concerned, because of the aforementioned problems, as a method of reducing pellets, it is proposed to reduce the voids in the sintered body so as to be as possible as possible In order to increase the density of the sintered body, it is required to further make the powder before forming into a fine powder. Generally, zirconia beads and a container with a hafnium oxide inner wall are used for micro-pulverization. However, contamination (contamination) from these pulverizing media, that is, the problem that zirconia is mixed into the target material occurs. On the other hand, sintering must be performed in a pressurized state. Therefore, in order to further increase the density, a problem that a larger equipment is required will occur. In addition, it cannot be said to be industrially efficient. method. [Disclosure of the Invention] The present invention is to obtain a transparent electrode film that can maintain a good transmittance of visible light and high conductivity, and at the same time has a moderate etching property in order to solve the aforementioned various problems. In addition, the object of the present invention is to efficiently produce a sintered body target having a high density and a small number of pellets during a sputtering process for forming the transparent electrode film, thereby suppressing the reduction in production efficiency accompanying the occurrence of pellets. Or the quality is reduced, and contamination (contaminants) from the pulverizing medium can be ignored. The present invention provides: 1. A transparent electrode film, characterized in that: indium oxide contains 0.1 to 5% by weight of oxidized pins; and in the oxidized marriage, there is a warfare fault in the solidified valley, and the paper size Applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page), ---- Order -------- II 1 522480 A7 B7 5 2.

A sputtering target for forming the transparent electrode film, characterized in that indium oxide contains 0.1 to 5% by weight of chromium oxide, and zirconia is dissolved in the indium oxide. . [Brief description of the drawing] Fig. 1 shows the results of XRD measurement of the content of oxidized oxide of 10% by weight. Fig. 2 shows the results of XRD measurement of the chromium oxide content of 5% by weight. Fig. 3 shows the results of XRD measurement of a zirconia content of 1% by weight. [Embodiment of the invention] The conductivity of the transparent conductive film is generally expressed by area resistance (0 / □), and an area resistance of about 5Ω / □ is generally required. The higher definition requires lower area resistance. Area resistance is expressed as the specific resistance divided by the thickness of the transparent conductive film. Therefore, the area conductivity of the transparent conductive film is expressed by the product of the conductivity (the inverse of the specific resistance) and the thickness of the film. The conductivity σ (Q-1 · cnT1) is based on the carrier (electricity or Product of electron (e) (coulomb), carrier mobility e (cm2 / v · sec), and carrier concentration η (cm 3) (σ (Ω "· cm-i) = e * #, n) instead. Therefore, in order to increase the conductivity of the transparent conductive film and reduce the specific resistance and area resistance, it is only necessary to increase either or both of the carrier mobility 〆 (cm2 / v · M.) And the carrier concentration η (cm 3). . This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210

Description of the invention (^) In view of this, the inventors focused on the use of zirconia (Zr02) as a dopant to increase the carrier concentration at a high concentration (up to 5% by weight). Soluble in indium oxide (In203). It is clear that the zirconia dopant can maintain good transmittance of visible light and high conductivity, as will be described later. When the content of the Chengxing pin (ZrO2) exceeds 5 wt%, the hafnium oxide cannot be solid-dissolved in indium oxide, so that the remaining zirconia particles are precipitated, resulting in deterioration of transmittance. In addition, when the content of zirconia (Zr02) is less than 0.1% by weight, it cannot function as a zirconia dopant, and it cannot maintain good transmittance of visible light and high conductivity. Therefore, the indium oxide must contain 0.1 to 5% by weight of zirconia. The oxidation resistance of the doped dopant is not as high as 31102 of the ITO composition, nor is it as low as Zn0, and it has the good characteristic that moderate etching characteristics can be obtained. In addition, as a factor of the film characteristics during left-right sputtering, as mentioned above, the density of the target can be cited; the higher the density of the target, the more stable the sputtering characteristics and the better the film. In order to increase the density of the target, the finer the powder system before forming, the better. However, in order to pulverize the zirconium (zirconia) dopant, the existing pulverization medium, that is, zirconia beads or zirconia can be used. The lining of the container for pulverization has the great advantage that the pulverization medium itself does not become a source of pollution (source of pollutants). In this way, the degree of local crushing can be improved to obtain Yuanyu's high-purity and high-density sputtering targets that are known in the art. f ----7 This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) '' -------- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Order- -----------line! -IIIII 1 522480 A7 ___ B7_____ 5.

Examples and Comparative Examples Next, examples of the present invention will be described. In addition, this embodiment is only an example, and the present invention is not limited to this example. In other words, within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention, all forms and modifications other than the embodiments are included. Example: A certain amount of zirconia (Zr02) powder was mixed with indium oxide (Ιη203) powder so that the chromium oxide (Zr02) powder became 5% by weight, and then, zirconia (Zr02) balls (beads) were used. ), As a pulverizing medium, finely pulverized. In order to increase the sintered density, pulverization is performed until the sintering density is 0.8 // m or less. Using this mixed powder, press forming was performed at a pressure of It (ton) / cm2 to obtain a molded body of 0 200 × 8 (mm), and CIP (isotropic cold pressing) was also performed. Next, the formed body was sintered in an oxygen atmosphere at a temperature of i640 ° C for 4 hours to obtain a sintered body (hereinafter referred to as "IZO sintered body"). The sintered density was 98%. The xRD (x-ray diffraction) of the IZO sintered body target was used to confirm the solid solution of the oxidized oxide.

Description of the invention ((f) In addition, the film characteristics of the specific resistance (Ω · cm) of the film formation and the transmittance% at a wavelength of 550 nm are investigated. The results are shown in Table 1. In addition, Table 1 The film characteristics at room temperature and 1% oxygen concentration are shown. For comparison, Table 1 shows the ITO film (Comparative Example 1) and IZO film manufactured under the same conditions. (Comparative Example 2) Film characteristics of specific resistance (Ω · cm) and transmittance% at a wavelength of 550 nm. It is apparent from Table 1 that, in terms of specific resistance and transmittance, examples of the present invention The ITO of Comparative Example 1 is hardly distinguished from Xuanyuan and maintains a good visible light transmittance and high conductivity of the examples of the present invention. The following so-called results are obtained: Generally speaking, the IZO of the present invention is used relative to the ITO film. The sintered body target IZO film has no significant difference in film properties when the substrate temperature is increased, but the characteristics of the thin film formed at room temperature are better. In recent years, Due to the weight reduction of liquid crystal displays, etc., Prefer to use plastic sheet or film instead of glass substrate. Due to the poor heat resistance of plastic, it is required not to heat the substrate or to form a film at low temperature. Therefore, it has the film characteristics at room temperature or low temperature as mentioned above A good transparent electrode of the present invention satisfies this purpose and can be said to be a good material. On the other hand, in the IXO film of Comparative Example 2, the transmittance was high, but the specific resistance was significantly lower. In addition, It can be confirmed that, in Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, if pulverization is performed to 0.8 / zm or less in the same manner as in this example, the chromium pollution will increase significantly.

As the etchant, a mixed acid of HC1: Η20: ΗΝ〇3 = 1: 1: 0.08 can be clearly understood from Table 2: Compared with Comparative Example 1 which becomes ITO, the substrate temperature is room temperature and 200. In the case of ° C, the etching rate is the IZO of this embodiment. In particular, when the substrate temperature is 20 ° C., the difference in the etching speed is quite significant. In addition, in Comparative Example 2 IXO, the etchability at room temperature is 92700 A / min at 200 ° C. The etchability is 90900A / min, which is abnormally high; on the contrary, it is prone to over-etching, which makes it unsatisfactory.
