It is starting to be demanded. That is, it is necessary to form a transparent conductive thin film for a liquid crystal display on an organic material (color filter) having low heat resistance or amorphous silicon, and it is not possible to form a transparent conductive thin film on a low-temperature substrate. It is becoming extremely important. However, it has been extremely difficult to form a low-resistance transparent conductive thin film on a low-temperature substrate using the above-mentioned ITO and TAO.

9). Zinc oxide is inexpensive, chemically stable, and excellent in transparency and conductivity, and thus attracts attention as a material for forming an excellent transparent conductive thin film. However, the zinc oxide sintered body also shows extremely excellent performance for forming a transparent conductive thin film on a heated high-temperature substrate, but some improvement is required for film formation on a low-temperature substrate. For example, when a transparent conductive thin film is formed on a low-temperature substrate by using a conventional zinc oxide sintered body, there is a problem that the thin film is colored and the resistance is increased.

That is, in the present invention, the average particle diameter of the sintered particles is 1 μm or more and 10 μm or more.
Hereinafter, a sputtering target made of a conductive zinc oxide sintered body having a volume resistivity of less than 10 Ω · cm and a density of 4.0 g / cm 3 or more and less than 5.0 g / cm 3 . Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

However, when a transparent conductive thin film is formed on a low-temperature substrate using a sintered body having a sintered particle average particle size exceeding 10 μm, the thin film is colored and the conductivity is reduced. On the other hand, a sintered body having an average particle diameter of less than 1 μm has a low mechanical strength.
It becomes difficult to apply as a sputtering target for forming a transparent conductive thin film. A more preferable range of the average particle diameter of the sintered particles of the sintered body of the present invention is 2 μm or more and 5 μm or less. Further, the sintered body of the present invention must have a volume resistivity of 10 Ω · cm or less, and particularly preferably 3 Ω · cm or less. Thereby, this sintered body can be used as a target of the DC sputtering method.

The sintered body of the present invention is, for example, calcining a coprecipitate of zinc and an oxide precursor of a different element to obtain a coprecipitated oxide, molding the coprecipitated oxide, and sintering at 1300 ° C. or more. Can be obtained. As described above, by producing the sintered body of the present invention from the coprecipitated oxide of zinc and a different element, the different element moderately suppresses the grain growth of the sintered particles during sintering, and the average particle diameter of the sintered particles. Is preferred because it becomes easier to control For example, when sintering a mixed oxide of zinc oxide and a different element at 1400 ° C or higher,
The average particle size of the sintered particles grows to 10 μm or more,
Even when the coprecipitated oxide is sintered at 1600 ° C., the average particle diameter of the sintered particles is maintained at 10 μm or less, and is often maintained at 5 μm or less. As a method for molding the coprecipitated oxide in the method for producing a sintered body of the present invention described above, for example, die molding, casting molding, or the like can be applied. The sintering temperature is 1000 ° C or higher, but especially 1300 ° C.
C. to 1400.degree. C. is preferred. If the sintering temperature is less than 1300 ° C., the conductivity of the obtained sintered body will be insufficient. The atmosphere during sintering is not particularly limited, but sintering in air, in which the sintered body is not reduced, is preferably used. by the way,
The method for synthesizing the coprecipitated oxide used in the method for producing the sintered body of the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, a coprecipitated hydroxide of zinc and a different element, a coprecipitated inorganic salt, It can be obtained by preparing a coprecipitated oxide precursor such as a precipitated organic acid salt and calcining it. Furthermore, when coprecipitating zinc and a different element as described above, the precipitation rate is high, and when the solution concentration is high, the heterogeneous element component is likely to segregate, so the solution concentration is 2 mol / l or less, and the precipitation rate is It is preferable that the concentration be 10 mol / hour or less. In producing the sintered body of the present invention, the density of the sintered body is 4.0 g / c
it is essential to control the range of less than m 3 or more 5.0 g / cm 3, it is particularly preferred to control the range of less than 4.5 g / cm 3 or more 5.0 g / cm 3. The density the mechanical strength of the sintered body becomes weak is less than 4.0 g / cm 3, a possibility that sufficient conductivity in the sintered body is not applied occurs, sintered particles of the sintered body is 5.0 g / cm 3 or more May grow and the average particle size of the sintered particles of 10 μm or less may not be maintained. However, if a special technique such as hot pressing is used, it is possible to keep the average particle diameter of the sintered particles small even if the density is high.
