Abstract: A method of manufacturing metal hydroxides with high mass, and a method of manufacturing an ITO target are provided. A gas diffusion electrode 20 configured such that a hydrophobic gas diffusion layer 20a and a hydrophilic reaction layer 20b are laminated is installed in an electrolytic bath 1 to partition the electrolytic bath. An electrolytic solution S is stored in such a portion of a settling chamber 11 as to face the reaction layer of the partitioned electrolytic bath, and indium 4 is immersed in the electrolytic solution. A voltage is applied between a cathode defined by the gas diffusion electrode and an anode defined by indium. Oxygen is supplied into such a partitioned air chamber 10 as to face the gas diffusion layer to perform electrolysis. Indium hydroxides are thus deposited in the electrolytic solution.

Abstract: Herein disclosed are a component of a film-forming device, in which a thin films is formed on a substrate using a film-forming material, whose surface structure makes any breakage, peeling off and/or falling off of a film adhered to the component quite difficult, while the structure permits easy removal of such an adhered film within a short period of time when cleaning the component as sell as a method for cleaning the component.

This easily allows the peeling off and removal of the film adhered to the component within a short period of time as compared when the adhered film is dissolved only from the surface thereof.
