Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An Ag alloy film used for a reflecting electrode or an interconnection electrode, the Ag alloy film exhibiting low electrical resistivity and high reflectivity and having exceptional oxidation resistance under cleaning treatments such as an O 2 plasma treatment or UV irradiation, wherein the Ag alloy film contains either In in an amount of larger than 2.0 atomic % to 2.7 atomic % or smaller; or Zn in an amount of larger than 2.0 atomic % to 3.5 atomic % or smaller; or both. The Ag alloy film may further contain Bi in an amount of 0.01 to 1.0 atomic %.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A reflecting electrode or an interconnection electrode, comprising: an Ag alloy film, and a transparent conductive film of 5 nm or larger and smaller than 25 nm in thickness formed directly on, or directly on and directly beneath, the Ag alloy film, wherein the Ag alloy film consists of In in an amount of larger than 2.0 atomic % and smaller than or equal to 2.7 atomic %, Bi in an amount of larger than or equal to 0.01 atomic % and smaller than or equal to 1.0 atomic %, and the balance being Ag and inevitable impurities. 2. The reflecting electrode or the interconnection electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent conductive film is either ITO or IZO. 3. A display device, comprising: the reflecting electrode according to claim 1 . 4. A display device, comprising: the reflecting electrode according to claim 2 . 5. A touch panel, comprising: the interconnection electrode according to claim 1 . 6. A touch panel, comprising: the interconnection electrode according to claim 2 . 7. A lighting device, comprising: the reflecting electrode according to claim 1 . 8. A lighting device, comprising: the reflecting electrode according to claim 2 .
