Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、スパッタリング法で透明導電膜を形成する際に用いられるスパッタリングターゲットとして用いるに好適な高密度ITO焼結体の製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
酸化インジウム−酸化錫(In2 3 −SnO2 、以下、「ITO」という)膜は、可視光透過性が高く、かつ導電性が高いので透明導電膜として液晶表示装置やガラスの結露防止用発熱膜等に幅広く用いられている。
このITO膜の形成方法としては、ITO焼結体をスパッタリング用ターゲットとして用いる方法が広く行われている。スパッタリング法におけるターゲットの利用効率は20〜40重量%程度であり、残りの使用済みターゲットは廃棄処分または再生工程を経て、再び原料として酸化インジウム粉を製造していた。
【0003】
特開平7−316798号公報には、使用済みITOターゲットを洗浄後、自生粉砕によって粉末とし、この粉末をホットプレス法などによって焼結体とする方法が記載されている。この方法を用いれば使用済みITOターゲットを、酸化インジウム粉に再生せずにITO焼結体を得ることができるが、密度が90%(6.48g/cm3 )程度であり、さらに高密度化することは困難であった。ここでITO焼結体に高密度化が要求される理由は、スパッタリング時の成膜条件やITO膜質の諸特性が優れているためである。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、ITOリサイクル粉を原料とした泥漿鋳込み成形法により、スパッタリングターゲットとして用いるに好適な高密度のITO焼結体の製造方法を提供することにある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、ITOリサイクル粉を利用して高密度のITO焼結体を製造するために、ITOリサイクル粉を熱処理し、比表面積を2.5〜7.0m2 /gの範囲に調整した粉末を用いて泥漿鋳込み成形法によって成形し、得られた成形体を乾燥後、酸素雰囲気で焼成することにより欠陥のない高密度ITO焼結体が得られることを見い出した。本発明はこれらの知見に基づいて完成に至ったものである。なお、ここで言う比表面積は、BET法で測定される値である。
【0006】
本発明は、下記の事項をその特徴としている。
(1)スパッタリング成膜に使用した後のITOターゲット、あるいは酸化インジウム、酸化錫粉を原料とするITO焼結体を自生粉砕後、乾燥して得られるITOリサイクル粉を熱処理して比表面積を2.5〜7.0m2 /gの範囲に調整し、その粉末を泥漿鋳込み法によって成形し、得られた成形体を酸素雰囲気で焼成することを特徴とするITOリサイクル粉を利用した高密度ITO焼結体の製造方法。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に、本発明の高密度ITO焼結体の製造方法について詳細に説明する。
本発明の、ITOリサイクル粉を利用した泥漿鋳込み成形法による高密度ITO焼結体の製造工程は、図1に示す通りである。
【0008】
以下に、ITO焼結体の製造方法の各製造工程について説明する。
(a)ITOリサイクル粉の製造
本発明で用いるITOリサイクル粉は、樹脂ライニングを施したボールなしのボールミル中にITO焼結体の塊とイオン交換水を入れ自生粉砕を施し、乾燥して得られた粉末を原料とする(特開平7−316798号公報)。自生粉砕とは、原料自体の大きい塊を粉砕媒体として用いる粉砕方法である。
【0009】
(b)熱処理
このITOリサイクル粉を大気中で熱処理する。熱処理温度は600〜950℃が好ましい。この熱処理によってITOリサイクル粉中の微細粒子を粒成長させ、比表面積を2.5〜7.0m2 /gの範囲に調整することで、泥漿鋳込み成形により緻密で均一な成形体を得ることができる。比表面積が2.5m2 /gを下回ると成形体にクラックや割れが入りやすくなり、一方比表面積が7.0m2 /gを上回ると泥漿鋳込み成形時に内部欠陥が発生しやすくなる。
【0010】
熱処理をしない場合、ITOリサイクル粉中には微細粒子が多数存在している。微細粒子が多数存在すると比表面積が増大し、特に比表面積が7.0m2 /gを上回るときは、スラリーの鋳込み時においてスラリー中の微細粒子が鋳込み型の排水通路となる多孔質部において目詰まりを起こしやすくなり、その結果、成形体中の水分の排出が非常に遅くなるか、あるいは全く排出できなくなり成形体に内部欠陥が発生しやすくなる恐れがある。
反対に過度の熱処理をした場合、粒成長により比表面積が減少し、特に比表面積が2.5m2 /gを下回るときは、成形体の自然乾燥による収縮が少なくかつ成形体強度も小さくなるため、乾燥から焼成工程の間でクラックや割れが発生しやすくなる恐れがある。
【0011】
(c)スラリー化
樹脂製ポットに粉砕用ボールと熱処理したITOリサイクル粉を入れ、乾式ボールミル混合を行うのが好ましい。このとき少量のイオン交換水を添加すると、原料粉のポット壁への付着を減少させ、粉砕混合を十分に行える効果が期待できる。次にイオン交換水、分散剤、バインダーを加え、湿式ボールミルでスラリー化する。
【0012】
(d)鋳込み成形
スラリーに消泡剤を加えて減圧脱気し、多孔質性の成形型にスラリーを鋳込み、スラリー中の水分を除くことで成形体を得る。成形型は、樹脂、石膏、樹脂膜などの多孔質材料を成形面とし、スラリー中の水分を排出する機構を有するものなら特に限定されない。
【0013】
(e)焼成
成形体は焼成に先立ち自然乾燥を行った後、400〜600℃で脱脂を行うのが好ましい。その後、酸素雰囲気中にて焼成することにより高密度ITO焼結体を得る。焼成温度は1400〜1600℃が好ましい。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for producing a high-density ITO sintered body suitable for use as a sputtering target used when forming a transparent conductive film by a sputtering method.
[0002]
[Prior art]
An indium oxide-tin oxide (In 2 O 3 —SnO 2 , hereinafter referred to as “ITO”) film has high visible light permeability and high electrical conductivity, so that it is used as a transparent conductive film for preventing condensation of liquid crystal display devices and glass. Widely used for heat generating films.
As a method for forming the ITO film, a method using an ITO sintered body as a sputtering target is widely used. The utilization efficiency of the target in the sputtering method is about 20 to 40% by weight, and the remaining used target is produced again as a raw material through a disposal or regeneration process.
[0003]
JP-A-7-316798, washed the used ITO target, a powder by autogenous grinding, a method of a sintered body of this powder by a hot press method is described. If this method is used, an ITO sintered body can be obtained without regenerating the used ITO target into indium oxide powder, but the density is about 90% (6.48 g / cm 3 ) and the density is further increased. It was difficult to do. The reason why the ITO sintered body needs to be densified is that the film forming conditions during sputtering and the various properties of the ITO film quality are excellent.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a high-density ITO sintered body suitable for use as a sputtering target by a mud casting method using ITO recycled powder as a raw material.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to produce a high-density ITO sintered body using the ITO recycled powder, the present inventors heat-treat the ITO recycled powder and adjust the specific surface area to a range of 2.5 to 7.0 m 2 / g. It was found that a high-density ITO sintered body having no defects can be obtained by molding the obtained powder by a slurry casting method and drying the obtained molded body, followed by firing in an oxygen atmosphere. The present invention has been completed based on these findings. In addition, the specific surface area said here is a value measured by BET method.
[0006]
The present invention has the following features.
(1) ITO target after use for sputtering film formation, or ITO sintered body made of indium oxide and tin oxide powder as raw material is self-pulverized and dried, and heat treatment is performed on the ITO recycled powder to obtain a specific surface area of 2 .High density ITO using ITO recycle powder characterized by adjusting the range of 5 to 7.0 m 2 / g, molding the powder by a slurry casting method, and firing the obtained molded body in an oxygen atmosphere A method for producing a sintered body.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Below, the manufacturing method of the high-density ITO sintered compact of this invention is demonstrated in detail.
The manufacturing process of the high-density ITO sintered body by the mud casting method using the ITO recycled powder of the present invention is as shown in FIG.
[0008]
Below, each manufacturing process of the manufacturing method of an ITO sintered compact is demonstrated.
(A) Production of ITO Recycled Powder The ITO recycled powder used in the present invention is obtained by placing a lump of ITO sintered body and ion-exchanged water in a ball mill without resin lining and drying it, followed by drying. The raw powder is used as a raw material (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-316798). Autogenous pulverization is a pulverization method using a large lump of raw material itself as a pulverization medium.
[0009]
(B) Heat treatment This ITO recycled powder is heat treated in the atmosphere. The heat treatment temperature is preferably 600 to 950 ° C. By this heat treatment, fine particles in the ITO recycled powder are grown and the specific surface area is adjusted to the range of 2.5 to 7.0 m 2 / g, so that a dense and uniform molded body can be obtained by mud casting. it can. If the specific surface area is less than 2.5 m 2 / g, cracks and cracks are likely to occur in the molded product, whereas if the specific surface area exceeds 7.0 m 2 / g, internal defects are likely to occur during mud casting.
[0010]
When heat treatment is not performed, many fine particles exist in the ITO recycled powder. When a large number of fine particles are present, the specific surface area increases. Particularly when the specific surface area exceeds 7.0 m 2 / g, when the slurry is cast, the fine particles in the slurry are formed in the porous portion serving as a casting-type drainage passage. Clogging is likely to occur, and as a result, the discharge of moisture in the molded body may be very slow or may not be discharged at all, and internal defects may easily occur in the molded body.
On the contrary, when excessive heat treatment is performed, the specific surface area decreases due to grain growth, and particularly when the specific surface area is less than 2.5 m 2 / g, there is less shrinkage due to natural drying of the molded body and the molded body strength is also reduced. There is a risk that cracks and cracks are likely to occur between the drying and firing steps.
[0011]
(C) Slurry It is preferable to mix a ball for grinding and heat-treated ITO recycled powder in a resin pot and perform dry ball mill mixing. When a small amount of ion-exchanged water is added at this time, the effect of reducing the adhesion of the raw material powder to the pot wall and sufficiently performing pulverization and mixing can be expected. Next, ion-exchanged water, a dispersant, and a binder are added and slurried with a wet ball mill.
[0012]
(D) An antifoaming agent is added to the cast molding slurry, degassed under reduced pressure, the slurry is cast into a porous mold, and moisture in the slurry is removed to obtain a molded body. The mold is not particularly limited as long as it has a porous material such as resin, gypsum, and resin film as a molding surface and has a mechanism for discharging moisture in the slurry.
[0013]
(E) It is preferable that the fired molded body is degreased at 400 to 600 ° C. after natural drying prior to firing. Then, a high-density ITO sintered body is obtained by firing in an oxygen atmosphere. The firing temperature is preferably 1400 to 1600 ° C.
[0014]
【Example】
Below, this invention is further demonstrated based on an Example and a comparative example.
Example 1

The density after degreasing was 68.1% (4.87 g / cm 3 ). Then, it baked at 1550 degreeC in oxygen atmosphere, and obtained the high-density ITO sintered compact. The size of the ITO sintered body at this time was 167 mmφ × 5.1 mm, and the density was 97.8% (6.99 g / cm 3 ).
[0023]
