When forming an ITO transparent conductive film by a sputtering method, a mixed gas of argon and oxygen is used as a sputtering gas. The proportion of oxygen is determined so that the formed ITO film is transparent and has the minimum specific resistance. As the sputtering target, an In—Sn based alloy target generally called an IT target or an In 2 O 3 —SnO 2 based oxide target generally called an ITO target has been generally used.

The use of the IT target has the advantages that the film formation rate is high and the productivity is high, but the specific resistance of the film varies with the oxygen partial pressure in the sputtering gas. Since it changes very sensitively, it is difficult to stably manufacture a low resistance film.

On the other hand, when an ITO target is used, IT
Compared to the target, the target contains more oxygen, so there is less change with changes in the oxygen partial pressure in the sputtering gas, and the specific resistance of the film is easier to control by the oxygen partial pressure, and a low-resistance film is stable. Can be manufactured in a simple manner. However, with the development of display elements in the last few years, an ITO film having lower resistance has been required, and control of oxygen during sputtering has become more important.

However, the conventional ITO target is In 2 O.
It is a 3- SnO 2 type oxide, and the oxygen content is fixed at about 17 to 18% by weight, depending on the amount of SnO 2 .
The oxygen content in the target could not be controlled. That is, in the current ITO target, it was necessary to perform sputtering at a place where oxygen in the introduced gas was very small (almost 0) in order to form a low resistance film, which was difficult to control.
