本開示の電子デバイス等において、透明導電材料は、酸化インジウムに、セリウム(Ce)、ガリウム(Ga)、タングステン(W)及びチタン(Ti)から成る群から選択された少なくとも1種類の金属種を、インジウム原子と金属種原子の合計を100原子%としたとき、0.5原子%乃至10原子%添加した材料から成る形態とすることができる。あるいは又、本開示の電子デバイス等において、透明導電材料は、酸化インジウムに、インジウム原子とコバルト原子の合計を100原子%としたとき、コバルト原子を10原子%乃至30原子%添加した材料から成る形態とすることができる。ここで、「添加」には、混合、ドーピングの概念が包含される。
シリコン半導体基板から成る基板10を準備する。ここで、基板10には、例えば、電子デバイスの駆動回路や光電変換層(これらは図示せず)、配線11が設けられており、表面には絶縁層12が形成されている。絶縁層12には、底部に配線11が露出した開口部13が設けられている。そして、開口部13内を含む絶縁層12上に、コ・スパッタリング法に基づき、上述した透明導電材料から成る第1電極21を形成(成膜)する(図1A参照)。スパッタリング装置として、平行平板スパッタリング装置あるいはDCマグネトロンスパッタリング装置を用い、プロセスガスとしてアルゴン(Ar)ガスを使用し、ターゲットとして、酸化インジウムとセリウムの焼結体、酸化インジウムとガリウムの焼結体、酸化インジウムとタングステンの焼結体、酸化インジウムとチタンの焼結体、酸化インジウムとコバルトの焼結体を用いた。
次いで、第1電極21のパターニングを行った後、第1電極21の表面に紫外線を照射するといった表面処理を、第1電極21に施す。そして、その後、直ちに、全面に、真空蒸着法にて、キナクリドンから成る光電変換層23を形成(成膜)し、更に、光電変換層23上に、スパッタリング法に基づき、ITOから成る第2電極22を形成(成膜)する。ここで、スパッタリング法に基づき第2電極を形成する際、スパッタリング装置として、平行平板スパッタリング装置あるいはDCマグネトロンスパッタリング装置を用い、プロセスガスとしてアルゴン(Ar)ガスを使用し、ターゲットとしてITO焼結体を用いた。こうして、図1Bに示す構造を有する実施例1の電子デバイスを得ることができる。
