Claim:
A process for producing a transparent conductive laminate comprising a substrate which comprises an organic polymer molding, and formed thereon a completely crystallized, transparent conductive layer comprising an In—Sn composite oxide having an amount of Sn atom of 1 to 6% by weight based on the total weight of In atom and Sn atom and having a film thickness of 15 to 50 nm, a Hall mobility of 30 to 45 cm 2 /V·S, and a carrier density of 2×10 20 /cm 3 to 6×10 20 /cm 3 , said process comprising: (a) a step of sputter film formation of a transparent conductive layer comprising an In—Sn composite oxide on a substrate comprising an organic polymer molding including a step of controlling a variation of oxygen gas in response to fluctuations of degrees of oxidation of a target during sputter film formation by using a plasma emission control system, wherein the step (a) is a step in which the target having an amount of Sn atom of 1 to 6% by weight based on the total weight of In atom and Sn atom is used, evacuation is performed to a degree of vacuum of 1.5×10 −4 Pa or lower at a substrate temperature of 80 to 150° C., and a mixed gas of an oxygen gas and an Ar gas is introduced thereinto such, in a step of controlling the variation of oxygen gas; when a plasma emission intensity of In when only the Ar gas is introduced is defined to be 90, the plasma emission intensity after the introduction of oxygen gas is 30 to 40 for when the target is a metal target and from 84 to 90 for when the target is an oxide target, respectively, to form an amorphous transparent conductive layer comprising an In—Sn composite oxide having an amount of Sn atom of 1 to 6% by weight based on the total weight of In atom and Sn atom and having a film thickness of 15 to 50 nm, a Hall mobility of 15 to 28 cm 2 V·S, and a carrier density of 2×10 20 /cm 3 to 5×10 20 /cm 3 on the substrate; and (b) a step of subsequent post-heating after sputter film formation to produce the transparent conductive laminate, wherein the step (b) is a step in which the amorphous transparent conductive layer formed in the step (a) is subjected to heat treatment in air at 120 to 150° C. for 0.5 to 1 hour, to convert the amorphous transparent conductive layer into a completely crystallized transparent conductive layer having a Hall mobility of 30 to 45 cm 2 V·S and a carrier density of 2×10 20 /cm 3 to 6×10 20 /cm 3 .
