- the second metal oxide of the above metal is included.
- the discharge method may be silent discharge or creeping discharge.
- a pair of electrodes is sufficient, but there may be more than that, and the number thereof can be set as appropriate.
- the ozone gas generation apparatus having such a configuration, a specific first metal oxide such as niobium and titanium facing the discharge gap, in which a raw material gas is supplied and a voltage is applied by a pair of electrodes to generate discharge, titanium Since a functional film containing a specific second metal oxide such as the above is provided (the first metal oxide and the second metal oxide are also referred to as a composite metal oxide), ozone gas is generated from the source gas by discharge. When produced, the composite metal oxide can effectively act.
- the detailed mechanism is not known, but even if only high-purity oxygen gas is used as the raw material gas, high-concentration ozone gas can be generated stably. In addition, even if severe continuous operation for 1000 hours or more is continued, the ozone gas generation concentration hardly changes, and the initial ozone gas generation concentration can be maintained.
- the functional film is composed of the first metal oxide and the second metal oxide.
- the functional film may contain the first metal oxide in a molar ratio of 0.03 to 3000 when the second metal oxide is 1.
- the functional film may include a stacked structure in which the first metal oxide layer is stacked on the second metal oxide layer.
- the first metal oxide layer and the second metal oxide layer can be formed individually, the quality can be made uniform throughout the functional film, and the high-performance function can be achieved.
- a film can be formed.
- the ozone gas generator having such a structure includes, for example, a first metal film forming step of forming a metal lower layer film constituting the second metal oxide by sputtering on the dielectric, and an upper surface of the lower layer film. And a second metal film forming step of forming an upper layer film of a metal constituting the first metal oxide by sputtering, and the pair of dielectrics are disposed facing each other, and the pair of dielectrics are formed by welding by heating. And a bonding step of integrally bonding, and the heat treatment in the bonding step may be performed using a manufacturing method performed in an oxygen-containing atmosphere.
- each metal layer can be formed with high accuracy, a thin and highly functional base of the functional film can be formed. Since each metal can be oxidized simultaneously with the dielectric bonding to form a functional film, the productivity is excellent.
