Abstract

The invention discloses an innovative method of sintering ITO target material, and aims to realize pressureless oxygen atmosphere sintering by optimizing sintering process, and finally to obtain target material having high density and high performance. With sintering method as the basis and according to sintering characteristics of the ITO target material, the method adopts segmented sintering process, and controls oxygen partial pressure of the sintering atmosphere by controlling oxygen flow entering into a hearth to inhibit decomposition of the target material, and to finally obtain the high conductive performance target material, the density of which is more than 99.3%. The oxygen atmosphere pressureless sintering method is a novel ceramic sintering method, and is mainly applied to thesintering of oxide ceramics easy to decompose. Equipment for the method is simple, and products to be sintered are not restricted by size, so large-size ceramics can be produced. It is the first timeto produce the ITO target material by the method, and the ITO target material produced by the method is better than that produced by the commonly used sintering process with hot pressing, sintering process with hot isostatic pressing or common normal pressure sintering process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the scientific field of ceramic material synthesis, in particular to a method for preparing an ITO target. Background technique [0002] ITO, commonly known as indium tin oxide, is a metal compound with good electrical conductivity. ITO film can be plated on various substrate materials (substrate materials include soda-lime glass, borosilicate glass, PET plastic, etc.) by magnetron sputtering and other methods. It is used as a conductive electrode on the surface, and is widely used in various flat panel display devices such as LCD, OLED, PDP, and touch screen. [0003] With its excellent optical and electrical properties, ITO transparent conductive film has been widely used in the field of optoelectronics, especially in the fast-growing FPD industry. In addition to LCD, there are high-definition television (HDTV), plasma tube display (PDP), Touch screen (Touch Panel), electroluminescence (EL), etc. In addition, ITO thin film g...
