Abstract:
A process for manufacturing indium tin oxide (ITO) sputtering targets is provided. The process includes: precipitating indium and tin hydroxides, calcining the hydroxides to produce granulated ITO powder, preparing an aqueous slurry of the ITO powder with additives such as special sintering aids, dispersing agent and binders, milling the slurry to obtain a slip, preparing compacted ITO green bodies by casting the slip using porous molds or drying the slip to yield granulated ITO powder and cold isostatic pressing the powder, and sintering the green body to yield ITO target of high density greater than 99% of theoretical.
Abstract:
A sputtering target formed from a material obtained by adding any one or both of SiO 2 and B 2 O 3 oxides to an In 2 O 3 -ZnO-SnO 2 system compound oxide having SnO 2 as its primary component. The present invention relates to a thin film for an optical information recording medium (especially used as a protective film) that has stable film amorphous nature, realizes high deposition speed, is superior in adhesiveness and mechanical properties with the recording layer, has a high transmission factor, and is composed with a non-sulfide system, whereby the deterioration of the adjacent reflective layer and recording layer can be suppressed. The present invention also relates to a manufacturing method of such a thin film, and a sputtering target for use therein. Accordingly, in addition to improving the performance of the optical information recording medium, the productivity can also be considerably improved.
Abstract:
A method of continuously subjecting an elongated substrate to vacuum film formation is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: feeding a first substrate from a first roll chamber in a first direction from the first chamber toward a second roll chamber; degassing the first substrate; forming a film of a second material on the first substrate, in a second film formation chamber; and rolling up the first substrate in the second roll chamber, thereby producing the first substrate, and further comprises similar steps to produce a second substrate. In advance of producing the first substrate with the second material film, the first cathode electrode of the first film formation chamber is removed from the first film formation chamber, and, in advance of producing the second substrate with the first material film, the second cathode electrode of the second film formation chamber is removed from the second film formation chamber.
Abstract:
A sintered indium oxide comprising niobium as an additive, wherein the ratio of the number of niobium atoms relative to the total number of atoms of all metal elements contained in the sintered compact is within a range of 1 to 4%, the relative density is 98% or higher, and the bulk resistance is 0.9 mΩ•cm or less. Provided are a sintered compact of indium oxide system and a transparent conductive film of indium oxide system, which have characteristics of high transmittance in the short wavelength and long wavelength ranges since the carrier concentration is not too high even though the resistivity thereof is low.
