[Prior Art] In the photovoltaic raw material production industry, 'very important raw material is the production of high-resistance ITO conductive layer panel and its production control method. The industry is also accompanied by 10 products with improved yield, production control and cost. It is becoming more and more important to reduce the requirements of functions such as rapid production. High-resistance ITO conductive layer touch panel manufacturing industry technology is more related to a variety of optoelectronic industries, such as resistive touch panels, capacitive touch panels. As generally recognized by the public, the high-resistance ΓΓΟ conductive layer panel production technology refers to the basic raw materials used as the substrate from the optoelectronic industry. Some resistive touch panel processes will use high-resistance ITO instead. Low-resistance conductive glass or conductive plastic, and capacitive touch panels require stable high-resistance conductive products. High-resistance ITO conductive layer panels are assembled with other electronic components in an optical structure. An optical product, 20 to achieve a specific design function. The functions required for high-resistance ITO conductive layer panels are mainly high light transmission and high resistance characteristics. Referring to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1C, the conductive layer 22a in the resistive touch panel of the first C diagram, wherein the conductive layer 22& in the touch panel is formed by using a plating process When using 1356099 with a simple high-resistance ITO coating, there will be a case of poor stability, but for high-order and high-resolution production, the specific resistance quality is very high and the stability is good (the stylus 13a touches the resistive type). At the time of the screen 12a, the conductive layer 22a of the contact layer 34a is pressed against the coordinate separation layer 26a in the vicinity of the coordinate separation point 26a, and the conductive layer 22a of the contact layer 34a is pressed to the underlying glass layer 20a, and the barrier 5 layer 30a is used to connect the resistive touch panel 24a with the connector 32a. The position signal is transmitted), so the conventional high-resistance metal oxide coating method not only has poor stability, but also has a quality problem that is difficult to achieve with a specific resistance value. • Please refer to the first B diagram and the first D diagram. The first B diagram is a conventional capacitive touch panel. The capacitive touch panel detects the coordinates of the generated induced current by utilizing the capacitance change generated by the electrostatic combination between the arranged transparent electrodes ίο and the human body. The sensing principle applies a voltage to the four corners of the sensing area of the capacitive screen 14a and forms a fixed electric field. When the finger 21a touches the screen 14a, the electric field can induce a current, which is measured by the controller and is proportional to the current distance from the four corners. The difference in contact can be calculated. 15 is a cross-sectional view of the capacitive touch panel, which is coated with a conductive layer 16a on the glass substrate 17a, and then an electrode layer 18a is formed. Finally, the surface layer is covered with a protective film 19a, that is, the capacitive touch panel is completed. 15a is a conductive layer for preventing electromagnetic waves. However, the capacitive touch panel is complicated in circuit and structure design, and is also costly. -2〇 Therefore, it is necessary to use a relatively fast and reliable method to produce low-temperature sputtering high-resistance ΓΓΟ conductive transparent substrate structure (generally multi-layer film), especially when the base material is polymer material such as transparent acrylic ( PMMA sheet) or glass to meet the requirements of the actual application.
