Abstract:
The method for manufacturing an infrared reflecting film comprises, in order: a metal layer forming step of depositing a metal layer (25) on a transparent film substrate (10); a metal oxide layer forming step of depositing a surface-side metal oxide layer (22) by DC sputtering on the metal layer (25) so as to be in direct contact with the metal layer (25); and a transparent protective layer forming step of depositing a transparent protective layer (30) on the surface-side metal oxide layer (22). In the metal oxide layer forming step, a sputtering target used for DC sputtering contains zinc atoms and tin atoms, and is preferably formed by sintering a metal powder and at least one metal oxide among zinc oxide and tin oxide. In the surface-side metal oxide layer forming step, an inert gas and an oxygen gas are introduced into a sputtering chamber. The oxygen concentration in the gas introduced to the sputtering chamber is preferably not more than 8 vol%.
Abstract:
An infrared reflecting film (100) includes an infrared reflecting layer (20) having a metal layer (25) and a metal oxide layer (21, 22) and a transparent protective layer (30) in this order on a transparent film substrate (10). In the manufacturing method, the metal oxide layer is deposited by a DC sputtering method using a roll-to-roll sputtering apparatus. A sputtering target used in the DC sputtering method contains zinc atoms and tin atoms. The sputtering target is preferably obtained by sintering a metal powder and at least one metal oxide among zinc oxide and tin oxide.

Abstract:
Disclosed are AZO films deposited on a transparent substrate by pulse DC using an oxide target with a composition in the range 0.5-2 wt % Al2O3, desirably at temperature above 325° C., resulting in films showing columnar grain structure with columns extending from the top to the bottom of the film, and small lateral grain size (less than 70 nm from substrate to top of film). The film has low resistivity at less than 10 Ohm/square at a thickness less than 400 nm, resistivity is desirably unchanged by annealing at temperatures of up to 450° C.

Abstract:
Disclosed are a composition for forming a zinc oxide-based film, said composition containing, as an essential component, a zinc compound represented by the following formula (1): wherein R 1 and R 2 mutually independently represent an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a process for producing the zinc oxide-based film, and the zinc compound. The composition makes it possible to form a high-quality zinc oxide-based film, which has transparency, homogeneity and electrical conductivity, at a low temperature of 300°C or lower.
