Description
본 발명은 스퍼터링 타겟 및 그 제조방법에 관한 것으로, 보다 구체적으로는 투명전극 물질로 이용되는 인듐-갈륨-아연계 산화물의 스퍼터링 타겟 및 그 제조방법에 관한 것이다.More particularly, the present invention relates to a sputtering target of an indium-gallium-zinc-based oxide used as a transparent electrode material and a method of manufacturing the same.
최근, 액정 디스플레이나 태양전지 등에는 도전성이고 또한 빛에 대하여 투명한 전극(투명전극)이 사용되고 있다. 이와 같은 성질을 갖는 재료로서는, 예를 들면, In2O3-SnO2(ITO), In2O3-ZnO(IZO), ZnO-Al2O3(AZO) 등의 산화물 재료가 알려져 있다. 이와 같은 재료는 스퍼터링(sputtering)법에 의하여 액정 디스플레이나 태양전지 상에 박막으로서 형성된 후에, 전극으로 패터닝되어, 투명전극이 된다. Recently, electrodes (transparent electrodes), which are conductive and transparent to light, are used for liquid crystal displays, solar cells, and the like. As materials having such properties, for example, oxide materials such as In 2 O 3 -SnO 2 (ITO), In 2 O 3 -ZnO (IZO) and ZnO-Al 2 O 3 (AZO) are known. Such a material is formed as a thin film on a liquid crystal display or a solar cell by a sputtering method, and then is patterned as an electrode to become a transparent electrode.
상기 스퍼터링법은 박막을 형성해야 하는 액정 디스플레이 등의 액정과 스퍼터링 타겟(이하, 타겟이라 한다)을 대향시켜서 배치하고, 이들 사이에서 가스 방전을 발생시켜, 이 가스 방전에 의해 발생한 이온이 타겟의 표면에 부딪혀, 그 충격에 의해 방출된 원자(입자)를 대향하는 기판에 부착시켜서 박막이 형성된다. The sputtering method is a method in which a liquid crystal such as a liquid crystal display for forming a thin film and a sputtering target (hereinafter, referred to as a target) are arranged to face each other and a gas discharge is generated therebetween, And the atoms (particles) emitted by the impact are attached to the opposing substrate to form a thin film.
상기 타겟은 박막(투명전극)이 되는 재료로 형성되고, 투명전극의 특성은 이 타겟의 특성을 반영한다. 또한, 일반적으로 상기 타겟은 매우 고가여서, 이 가격이 액정 디스플레이나 태양전지의 제조비용에서 차지하는 비율은 크다. 이 때문에, 액정 디스플레이나 태양전지의 저비용화를 위해서는 저렴한 타겟이 요구된다.The target is formed of a material that becomes a thin film (transparent electrode), and the characteristics of the transparent electrode reflect the characteristics of the target. In addition, the target is generally very expensive, and the ratio of this price to the manufacturing cost of a liquid crystal display or a solar cell is large. Therefore, an inexpensive target is required for lowering the cost of a liquid crystal display or a solar cell.
상기 ITO는 주석(Sn)이 도프(dope)된 산화인듐(In2O3)으로, ITO를 사용하면 빛의 투과율이 85% 이상, 비저항값은 1.0ㅧ10-4Ωㅇcm 정도의 투명전극이 얻어지므로, 그 특성은 액정 디스플레이나 태양전지에 사용하기에 충분하다. The ITO is indium oxide (In 2 O 3 ) doped with tin (Sn). When ITO is used, a transparent electrode having a light transmittance of 85% or more and a resistivity of 1.0 ㅧ 10 -4 Ω · cm So that the characteristics are sufficient for use in a liquid crystal display or a solar cell.
그러나, 큰 면적의 액정 디스플레이나 태양전지용의 투명전극을 형성하는 경우, 타겟도 투명전극과 유사하게 큰 면적의 것이 필요한데, 상기 ITO 원료의 주성분인 인듐(In)이 고가이기 때문에, 타겟이 고비용이 되는 원인이 되고 있었다. However, when a large-area liquid crystal display or a transparent electrode for a solar cell is formed, it is necessary to have a large area similar to a target in a transparent electrode. Since indium (In), which is a main component of the ITO raw material, is expensive, .
따라서, 보다 저가이면서, 동등한 특성을 갖는 투명전극이 필요하게 되었는데, 저가의 물질인 산화아연을 이용한 투명전극 물질이 개발되었으나 그 특성이 인듐산화물에 기반한 투명전극의 특성에 미치지 못하여 현재 디스플레이 산업의 핵심소재인 투명도전 소재의 90% 이상을 ITO가 차지하고 있고 나머지 10%정도를 IZO가 차지한다. Therefore, a transparent electrode having a lower cost and equivalent characteristics has been required. However, a transparent electrode material using zinc oxide, which is a low-priced material, has been developed. However, its characteristics are less than the characteristics of a transparent electrode based on indium oxide, ITO accounts for more than 90% of transparent conductive materials, and IZO accounts for the remaining 10%.
결국, ITO와 IZO 모두 인듐산화물 분말을 90%이상 사용하고 있어, 디스플레이의 투명전극용 소재산업이 인듐 시장의 70%이상을 차지하고 있는 실정이다. As a result, both ITO and IZO use more than 90% of indium oxide powder, and the transparent electrode material industry of display accounts for more than 70% of the indium market.
상기와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위한 본 발명은 ITO를 대체할 저가의 투명전극 물질로 난소결 물질인 ZnO 기반의 산화인듐-산화갈륨-산화아연(In2O3-Ga2O3-ZnO, IGZO) 산화물의 소결 스퍼터링 타겟 및 그 제조방법을 제공하고자 한다.In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a low-cost transparent electrode material which is a substitute for ITO, which is a ZnO-based indium oxide-gallium oxide-zinc oxide (In 2 O 3 - Ga 2 O 3 - ZnO, IGZO ) Oxide sintered sputtering target and a method of manufacturing the same.

먼저, 도 1은 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 인듐-갈륨-아연계 산화물 스퍼터링 타겟의 제조 공정의 순서도인데, 도 1을 참조하면, 산화인듐(In2O3), 산화갈륨(Ga2O3) 및 산화아연(ZnO) 분말을 1차 분쇄(S110)하고, 분쇄된 분말을 하소처리(S120)한다. 상기 하소처리된 분말을 2차 분쇄(S130)하여 분말의 입도를 1㎛이하가 되도록 한 다음 구형화 또는 분급처리(S140)한 다음 압축 성형(S150)하고 이를 소결(S160)하여 인듐-갈륨-아연계 산화물 스퍼터링 타겟을 제조한다.First, Figure 1 is indium according to the embodiment of the present invention a gallium-inde flow chart of the manufacturing process of the zinc oxide sputtering target 1, the indium oxide (In 2 O 3), gallium oxide (Ga 2 O 3 ) And zinc oxide (ZnO) powder are firstly pulverized (S110), and the pulverized powder is calcined (S120). The calcined powder is subjected to secondary sintering (S130) so that the particle size of the powder becomes 1 탆 or less, followed by sphering or classification (S140), compression molding (S150), and sintering (S160) Thereby preparing a zinc-based oxide sputtering target.
이때, 본 발명에 따른 실시예에서는 몰비로, 0.5 ≤ ZnO/(In2O3 + Ga2O3 + ZnO) ≤ 0.95를 만족하도록 한다. 만약, ZnO/(In2O3 + Ga2O3 + ZnO), 즉 스퍼터링 타겟 중 산화아연의 몰분율의 값이 0.5보다 작은 경우에는 희유원소인 In, Ga의 저감효과를 기대할 수 없으며, 0.95를 초과하는 경우에는 균일한 In-Ga-Zn-O 화합물 타겟을 형성할 수 없고 전기 전도도가 매우 낮아져 투명전극으로의 응용이 곤란하게 되므로 본 발명에 따른 실시예에서의 ZnO/(In2O3 + Ga2O3 + ZnO)의 값은 상기 범위로 한정한다. In this case, in the embodiment according to the present invention, 0.5? ZnO / (In 2 O 3 + Ga 2 O 3 + ZnO)? 0.95 is satisfied as a molar ratio. If the value of the mole fraction of zinc oxide in ZnO / (In 2 O 3 + Ga 2 O 3 + ZnO), that is, the sputtering target is less than 0.5, the effect of reducing In and Ga being rare elements can not be expected. The In-Ga-Zn-O compound target can not be formed uniformly, and the electric conductivity is very low, making it difficult to apply it to a transparent electrode. Therefore, the ZnO / (In 2 O 3 + Ga 2 O 3 + ZnO) is limited to the above range.
또한, 본 발명에 따른 실시예에서는 산화아연(ZnO)의 비율이 높아질수록 희유원소인 In2O3와 Ga2O3의 사용 비율을 낮출 수 있는데, 소결 밀도 및 전기적 특성(전기 전도도)을 향상시키기 위하여 상기 조성에 Ba2O3, SnO, GeO2, Al2O3 또는 B2O3 로부터 선택되는 하나 이상의 분말을 첨가(S135, S137)할 수 있는데, 상기 인듐-갈륨-아연계 산화물에 대하여 원자 퍼센트(at%)로 0.1~10%를 첨가한다. 만약, 0.1%보다 적게 첨가하면 상기 첨가물의 첨가 효과가 미미하고, 10%를 초과하여 첨가하면 투명전극이 불투명해져 최종 박막의 광 투과특성에 악영향을 미치므로, 본 발명에 따른 실시예에서의 상기 첨가물의 함량은 0.1~10at% 로 한정한다.
Further, in the embodiment according to the present invention, as the proportion of zinc oxide (ZnO) is increased, the ratio of the rare-earth elements In 2 O 3 and Ga 2 O 3 can be lowered, and the sintering density and electric characteristics One or more powders selected from Ba 2 O 3 , SnO 2 , GeO 2 , Al 2 O 3 or B 2 O 3 may be added to the above composition (S135 and S137). In this case, the indium-gallium- 0.1 to 10% by atomic percent (at%) is added. If it is added in an amount of less than 0.1%, the addition effect of the additive is insignificant. When the content exceeds 10%, the transparent electrode becomes opaque and adversely affects the light transmission characteristics of the final thin film. The content of the additive is limited to 0.1 to 10 at%.
이하에서는 본 발명에 따른 실시예의 인듐-갈륨-아연계 산화물 스퍼터링 타겟의 제조방법에 대하여 보다 구체적으로 설명하기로 한다.Hereinafter, a method of preparing an indium-gallium-zinc oxide sputtering target according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail.
먼저, 산화인듐(In2O3), 산화갈륨(Ga2O3) 및 산화아연(ZnO)을 분쇄하는데, 1차 분쇄에서는 산화인듐(In2O3), 산화갈륨(Ga2O3) 및 산화아연(ZnO)을 습식 분쇄법 또는 건식 분쇄법으로 분쇄할 수 있다. 이때, 상기 산화인듐, 산화갈륨의 분쇄분말의 입도는 평균입도가 1㎛ 이하가 되도록 분쇄하고, 산화아연의 경우는 0.8㎛ 이하가 되도록 분쇄한다. 만약, 상기 산화인듐 및 산화갈륨의 평균입도가 1㎛를 초과하는 경우에는 후공정인 하소(S120)하는 단계에서 균일한 화합물 형성이 어려우며, 산화아연의 입도가 0.8㎛를 초과하는 경우에는 최종 소결하는 단계(S160)에서 조대한 산화아연 입자가 하소입자의 소결을 방해하여 높은 소결밀도를 얻기 어렵게 되므로, 본 발명에 따른 실시예에서의 1차 분쇄입도는 상기 범위로 한정한다.First, indium (In 2 O 3), gallium oxide (Ga 2 O 3) and to crush the zinc oxide (ZnO), the primary crushing indium oxide (In 2 O 3), gallium oxide (Ga 2 O 3) And zinc oxide (ZnO) can be pulverized by a wet grinding method or a dry grinding method. At this time, the particle size of the ground powder of the indium oxide and the gallium oxide is pulverized so that the average particle size is not more than 1 탆, and in the case of zinc oxide, the particle size is not more than 0.8 탆. If the average particle size of the indium oxide and the gallium oxide exceeds 1 탆, it is difficult to form a uniform compound in the subsequent calcination step (S120). If the particle size of the zinc oxide exceeds 0.8 탆, the final sintering The coarse zinc oxide particles interfere with the sintering of the calcined particles and it becomes difficult to obtain a high sintered density in the step (S160). Therefore, the primary particle size in the embodiment of the present invention is limited to the above range.
이후, 상기 1차 분쇄된 분말을 혼합하여 균질하게 분산시킨 후, 1000℃ 이하의 온도에서 하소(S120)처리를 수행한다. 본 발명에 따른 실시예에서의 하소처리 시간은 1~3시간인데, 만약 1시간 미만으로 하소처리하면 효과가 미미하고, 3시간 이상 하소하면 하소 분말의 입도가 커져서 최종 소결 밀도를 악화시키므로 본 발명에 따른 실시예에서는 하소 시간을 1~3시간으로 한정한다. Thereafter, the primary pulverized powders are mixed and dispersed homogeneously, and calcination (S120) is performed at a temperature of 1000 ° C or lower. The calcination treatment time in the examples according to the present invention is 1 to 3 hours. If the calcination treatment is performed for less than 1 hour, the effect is insignificant. If calcination for 3 hours or more, the calcination powder particle size becomes large and the final sintering density is deteriorated. The calcination time is limited to 1 to 3 hours.
또한, 1000℃를 초과하는 온도에서 하소처리를 하면 분말들이 엉겨붙어 단단한 덩어리를 형성하게 되어 후공정인 2차 분쇄(S130)단계에서 분쇄가 곤란해지므로 본 발명에 따른 실시예에서의 하소 온도는 1000℃이하로 한정한다. 즉, 산화인듐(In2O3), 산화갈륨(Ga2O3) 및 산화아연(ZnO) 분말이 화학반응이 일어나 화합물을 형성할 정도의 온도에서 하소하면 충분하다.In addition, if calcination is performed at a temperature exceeding 1000 캜, the powder tends to clump to form a hard lump, which makes it difficult to pulverize in the secondary milling step (S130), which is a post-process. Therefore, 1000 ℃ or less. That is, it is sufficient to calcine indium oxide (In 2 O 3 ), gallium oxide (Ga 2 O 3 ), and zinc oxide (ZnO) powders at such a temperature that a chemical reaction occurs to form a compound.
이후, 상기 하소된 분말은 습식 분쇄법 또는 건식 분쇄법으로 2차 분쇄(S130)한다. 이때의 분쇄 분말의 평균입도는 1㎛ 이하가 되도록 한다. 그러나, 50㎛보다 큰 입도를 가진 조대분말들이 함께 존재하기도 하고, 분말의 모양이 다양하다. 분말의 모양 및 크기가 다양하면 고밀도 성형이 곤란하여 밀도 균일성이 떨어진다. Thereafter, the calcined powder is secondarily pulverized (S130) by a wet grinding method or a dry grinding method. The average particle size of the pulverized powder at this time is set to be 1 mu m or less. However, coarse powders having a particle size larger than 50 탆 are present together, and the shape of the powder varies. If the shape and size of the powder are varied, it is difficult to form a high-density powder and the density uniformity is reduced.
따라서, 본 발명에 따른 실시예에서는 2차 분쇄된 분말을 구형화하거나 분급(sieving)(S140)단계를 거친다. 즉, 2차 분쇄된 분말은 분무건조(Spray dry) 공정을 통해 구형화하거나 분급 작업을 통해 50㎛ 이상의 조대분말을 제거한다. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the secondary pulverized powder is sphered or sieved (S140). That is, the second pulverized powder is sphered through a spray drying process or a coarse powder of 50 탆 or more is removed through classification.
이는 후공정인 압축 성형(S150)시 50㎛ 이상의 조대분말은 성형체의 밀도 불균형을 초래하고 고온 소결을 통한 수축시 소결체의 내부 또는 외부에 크랙이 형성되거나 소결체가 파손되는 것을 방지하기 위함이다. 이때, 성형체의 부피가 100cm3이상인 대형 성형체의 경우는 분무 건조 공정을 통하여 20~50㎛ 크기의 구형입자를 형성하여 균일한 성형밀도를 갖도록 한다. This is because coarse powder of 50 mu m or more in the post-process compression molding (S150) causes unevenness in density of the formed body and prevents cracks from being formed inside or outside of the sintered body or breakage of the sintered body during shrinkage through high-temperature sintering. At this time, in the case of a large molded body having a volume of 100 cm 3 or more, spherical particles having a size of 20 to 50 μm are formed through a spray drying process to have a uniform molding density.
이후, 구형화 또는 분급 공정이 완료된 분말을 성형 몰드에 충진하고 5ton/cm2 이하의 압력으로 1축 가압 성형을 수행한다. 이때, 정수압 성형 공정을 거쳐 성형체를 완성하며, 이때의 성형밀도는 3.6~4.3g/cc 가 되도록 한다. Thereafter, the powder subjected to the sphering or classification process is filled in a molding mold, and uniaxial pressing is performed at a pressure of 5 ton / cm 2 or less. At this time, the shaped body is completed through the hydrostatic forming process, and the molding density at this time is set to 3.6 to 4.3 g / cc.
이후, 상기 압축 성형된 성형체를 1400℃ 이하의 온도에서 3~9시간 동안 소결(S160)처리 한다. 산화아연은 고온에서 기화가 잘 일어나므로 1400℃를 초과하는 온도에서 소결하면, 산화아연이 증발하게 되어 최종 조성이 잘 맞지 않게 되므로, 본 발명에 따른 실시예에서는 소결 온도를 1400℃이하로 한정한다. 이때, 최종 소결된 스퍼터링 타겟의 밀도는 4.4~6.4g/cc가 된다. 상기 타겟의 밀도는 산화아연의 양에 따라 달라지는데, 산화아연은 산화인듐 또는 산화갈륨에 비하여 밀도가 낮으므로, 산화아연의 함량이 높을수록 스퍼터링 타겟의 밀도는 낮아진다.Then, the compression-molded body is sintered (S160) at a temperature of 1400 占 폚 or less for 3 to 9 hours. Since zinc oxide is easily vaporized at a high temperature, sintering at a temperature exceeding 1,400 ° C. causes zinc oxide to evaporate, resulting in a poor final composition. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the sintering temperature is limited to 1400 ° C. or less . At this time, the final sintered sputtering target has a density of 4.4 to 6.4 g / cc. The density of the target varies depending on the amount of zinc oxide. Since the density of zinc oxide is lower than that of indium oxide or gallium oxide, the density of the sputtering target becomes lower as the content of zinc oxide is higher.
또한, 본 발명에 따른 실시예에서는 Ba2O3, GeO2, B2O3, SnO 또는 Al2O3 분말로부터 선택되는 하나 이상의 첨가물을 첨가(S135, S137)하는데, Ba2O3, GeO2, B2O3와 같이 수용성 화합물의 경우에는, 하소 후 2차 분쇄 공정에서 수용액 형태로 첨가하여 건조한다. 이 경우 첨가물은 균일한 분포로 첨가되며 분말 표면에 첨가물이 증착되어 소결체의 밀도 및 첨가물이 균일하게 분포되도록 할 수 있다. Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, Ba 2 O 3, GeO 2, B 2 O 3, to (S135, S137) the addition of one or more additives selected from SnO or Al 2 O 3 powder, Ba 2 O 3, GeO 2 and B 2 O 3 in the case of water-soluble compounds, it is added in the form of an aqueous solution in the second pulverization step after the calcination and dried. In this case, the additive is added in a uniform distribution, and the additive is deposited on the powder surface, so that the density and additives of the sintered body can be uniformly distributed.
즉, 본 발명에 따른 실시예에서는 Ba2O3, GeO2, B2O3의 분말을 습식 분쇄법으로 2차 분쇄하는 동안 첨가하여, 상기 Ba2O3, GeO2, B2O3 분말은 용매에 녹아 균일하게 분포되며 이때, 용매를 증발시키면 상기 Ba2O3, GeO2, B2O3 이 인듐-갈륨-아연계 산화물 분말의 표면에 코팅되면서 균일하게 분포하게 된다.That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, Ba 2 O 3 , GeO 2 and B 2 O 3 powders are added during the second milling by wet pulverization to form Ba 2 O 3 , GeO 2 and B 2 O 3 powders Are dispersed uniformly in the solvent. When the solvent is evaporated, the Ba 2 O 3 , GeO 2, and B 2 O 3 are uniformly distributed while being coated on the surface of the indium-gallium-zinc oxide powder.
또한, SnO 또는 Al2O3 첨가물은 구형화 또는 분급 공정 전에 혼합하여 첨가되는데, 이는 용매에 녹지 않으므로 하소된 분말을 분쇄한 후 첨가할 물질을 혼합하여 구형화 또는 분급 공정을 진행한다. 이때, 본 발명에 따른 실시예에서는 첨가 물질의 균일한 혼합을 위하여 SnO 또는 Al2O3 첨가물의 입도를 0.2㎛ 이하로 한정한다.
In addition, the SnO or Al 2 O 3 additive is added before the sphering or classifying process. Since the powder is not dissolved in the solvent, the sintered powder is pulverized and the material to be added is mixed to proceed the sphering or classification process. In this case, in the embodiment of the present invention, the particle size of the SnO or Al 2 O 3 additive is limited to 0.2 μm or less for uniform mixing of the additive material.
이하에서는 본 발명에 따른 실시예와 비교예를 비교하여 설명하기로 한다.Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention and comparative examples will be described in detail.
본 발명에 따른 실시예에서는 상기의 공정조건에 따라 제작한 In-Ga-Zn-O 타겟의 밀도를 표 1에 나타냈다. 이때, 소결공정은 1400℃에서 6시간 동안 실시하였다.In the example according to the present invention, the density of the In-Ga-Zn-O target produced according to the above process conditions is shown in Table 1. At this time, the sintering process was performed at 1400 ° C for 6 hours.
또한, 비교예로써 하소공정 없이 1차 분쇄후 분급, 압축성형, 소결작업을 거친 In-Ga-Zn-O 타겟의 밀도를 표 2에 나타내었다. 이때의 소결공정은 1400℃에서 6시간 동안 실시하였다.Table 2 shows the densities of the In-Ga-Zn-O targets subjected to the classification, compression molding and sintering after the first grinding without calcining as a comparative example. The sintering process was performed at 1400 ° C for 6 hours.
상기 표 1 및 표 2에서 알 수 있듯이, 하소 공정을 거친 경우에는 소결체 밀도가 대부분 5.0g/cc를 초과하였으나, 비교예의 경우에는 소결체의 밀도가 3.68~4.91g/cc의 범위에 속하였다. 또한, 본 발명에 따른 실시예에서의 상대밀도는 대부분 80~100의 값을 가지는 반면, 비교예의 경우에는 59~87의 값을 가지는 것을 알 수 있다. 이때의 상대밀도는 성분 조성에 따른 이론적 밀도에 대한 실제 타겟의 밀도를 의미한다.As can be seen from Tables 1 and 2, the sintered body density exceeded 5.0 g / cc in the case of calcination, while the density of the sintered body in the comparative example was in the range of 3.68 to 4.91 g / cc. In addition, the relative density in the embodiment according to the present invention has a value of 80 to 100, while in the comparative example, it has a value of 59 to 87. [ The relative density at this time means the density of the actual target relative to the theoretical density according to the composition of the components.
이로써 본 발명에 따른 실시예의 경우는 소결체의 밀도가 더욱 향상된 것을 알 수 있으며, 이는 하소 처리에 기인하는 것임을 알 수 있다. 즉, 하소공정 없이 소결할 경우 소결체의 수축이 일어나기 전에 산화인듐, 산화갈륨 및 산화아연이 화학반응을 일으켜 InGaZn5O9 등의 화합물을 형성하여, 소결체에 보이드(void)가 형성되고 입자간 접촉면적이 줄어들어 소결 후에도 낮은 소결 밀도를 갖게 되는데, 본 발명에 따른 실시예에서는 하소처리를 함으로써 소결체의 밀도를 향상시켰다.As a result, it can be seen that the density of the sintered body is further improved in the case of the embodiment according to the present invention, which is attributable to the calcination treatment. That is, when sintering without calcination, a chemical reaction occurs between indium oxide, gallium oxide and zinc oxide before shrinkage of the sintered body forms a compound such as InGaZn 5 O 9 , voids are formed in the sintered body, The area is reduced and the sintering density is low even after the sintering. In the embodiment of the present invention, the density of the sintered body is improved by performing the calcining treatment.
즉, 본 발명에 따른 실시예에서는 하소 공정을 통하여 인듐-갈륨-아연계 산화물을 형성하여, 상기 산화물을 미세하게 분쇄, 압축하여 소결을 함으로써 높은 밀도를 갖는 스퍼터링 타겟을 제조할 수 있었다.That is, in the embodiment according to the present invention, the indium-gallium-zinc-based oxide is formed through the calcination process, and the oxide is finely pulverized, compressed and sintered to produce a sputtering target having a high density.
