Embodiment 3

[0248] [1. Preparation of sample]

[0249] Using the target prepared in Example 1 or 2, a laminated film for a touch panel was prepared. That is, a barrier layer, an electrode layer, and a cover layer are sequentially formed (from bottom to top) on the surface of the substrate by sputtering. As the substrate, an ITO / underlayer film / PET substrate or an ITO / underlayer film / glass substrate (both commercially available) was used. A NiCu alloy containing a predetermined amount of Cu or Ti was used for the barrier layer and the cover layer, respectively, and Cu(5N) was used for the electrode layer.

[0250] For comparison, a laminated film was prepared in which Mo-10Nb alloy was used in the barrier layer and the cover layer, respectively, and Al-3Nd was used in the electrode layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a NiCu alloy target for a Cu electrode protective film and a laminated film. Specifically, the present invention relates to a NiCu alloy target for a Cu electrode protective film for forming a Cu electrode protective film used as an electrode of a touch panel or a liquid crystal panel. material, and a laminated film manufactured using the target material. Background technique [0002] Liquid crystal panels used in touch panels and thin large-screen televisions have a structure in which liquid crystal is sealed between two transparent substrates. A transparent electrode serving as a working electrode of the liquid crystal is formed inside the transparent substrate (one surface on the liquid crystal side). In the transparent electrode, indium tin oxide (ITO) is generally used. In addition, metal electrodes or metal wirings (hereinafter collectively referred to as “metal electrodes”) as external output terminals are form...
