ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a composition consisting essentially of:a) from about 60 to about 99 mole % of SnO2, andb) from about 1 to about 40 mole % of one or more materials selected from the group consisting ofi) Nb2O5,ii) NbO,iii) NbO2,iv) WO2,v) a material selected consisting of a) a mixture of MoO2and Mo and b) Mo,vi) W,vii) Ta2O5, andviii) mixtures thereof,wherein the mole % s are based on the total product and wherein the sum of components a) and b) is 100. The invention is also directed to the sintered product of such composition, a sputtering target made from the sintered product and a transparent electroconductive film made from the composition.
