- the firing temperature is, for example, 1300-1600 for a target.
- ° C is preferred, and more preferably 1450-1600 ° C. Thereafter, a mechanical force is applied to a predetermined size for forming and forming, thereby obtaining a target.
- the surface is ground to adjust the thickness, and further, several levels of polishing are performed to smooth the surface. It is preferable to remove the.
- the powder was collected by a dry method using a filter to obtain the ITO powder of Example 1.
- ITO powder dry-synthesized from acetylene flame in the same manner as in Example 1 was wet-recovered with spray water and used as the ITO powder of Example 2.
- Comparative Example 1 In a mortar, 90 mass% of indium oxide powder, which was calcined at 1000 ° C., and 10 mass% of tin oxide powder, which was calcined at 1000 ° C., similarly. The mixture was designated as Comparative Example 1 and as Standard Product 1.
- the ITO powder wet-synthesized by the coprecipitation method was used as the ITO powder of Comparative Example 2.
- aqueous ammonia (special reagent grade) was mixed with the mixed acid to neutralize the mixture to pH 6.5, whereby a white precipitate was deposited.
- 25% aqueous ammonia special reagent grade
- ICP spectroscopy inductively coupled high frequency plasma spectroscopy
- the volume ratio was calculated.
- ITO powders of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 13 and 13 were analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD: MXP18II, manufactured by Mac Science Co., Ltd.) to determine the amount of SnO deposited. You That is, the presence or absence of the intermetallic compound (In Sn O) was confirmed from the diffraction results, and the intermetallic compound was detected.
- XRD powder X-ray diffraction
- the amount of SnO deposited (% by mass) is calculated from the integrated diffraction intensity ratio of X-ray diffraction.
- the amount of SnO that was not output was defined as the amount of SnO dissolved in InO.
- the solid solution amount of SnO was 2.35 wt% and 2.42 wt%.
- the ITO powder of Example 3 had a SnO solid solution amount of 3.00 wt%
- ITO powder (specific surface area: 2.97 mg) synthesized in the same manner as in Example 2 and calcined at 1100 ° C. was pulverized by a dry ball mill and then cold pressed. The relative density of the molded body after degreasing was 53.5% of the theoretical density of 7.15.
- the ITO powder synthesized in the same manner as in Example 1 and calcined at 1000 ° C. was crushed by a dry ball mill (specific surface area at this time: 7.7 m 2 Zg) and further crushed by a wet ball mill.
- the slurry was poured into a filtration mold, and water in the slurry was drained under reduced pressure only on one side of the filter to produce a compact, and the obtained ceramic compact was dried and degreased.
- the relative density of the molded body after degreasing was 64.9% of the theoretical density of 7.15.
- ITO powder (specific surface area: 2.5 m 2 Zg) synthesized in the same manner as in Example 3 and calcined at 1100 ° C was crushed by a dry ball mill and a wet ball mill to form a slurry, and the slurry was filtered. And the water in the slurry was drained under reduced pressure only from the filter on one side of the filter to produce a molded body, and the obtained ceramic molded body was dried and degreased. The relative density of the molded body after degreasing was 64.9% of the theoretical density of 7.15.
- the sinterability was compared in each production example and each comparative production example. The results are shown in Fig.
- the sinterability indicates the ratio of the relative density of the sintered body to the relative density of the compact.
- the ITO powder of the present invention provides a high-density sintered body with high sinterability, and a high-density sintered body can be obtained without increasing the density of the compact. I knew I could get it.
- Arcing characteristics were measured using the sputtering targets of Production Example 2-4 and Comparative Production Example 2. That is, continuous sputtering was performed by DC magnetron sputtering under the following conditions, and the 50 Counts life was measured. Where 50Counts life is DOO use start force also except initial arc count up input power amount lOWhZcm 2, refers to the input power amount when the cumulative Aki ring number becomes 50 times (WhZcm 2). The arcing was detected by an arc detector (MAM Genesis) manufactured by Landmark Technology Co., Ltd. The results are shown in Table 4 below and FIG.
- the sputtering target using the ITO powder of the present invention was found to have excellent arcing characteristics and a long target life.
- the target of Production Example 4 using ITO powder by DC plasma flame had a longer target life than Production Examples 2 and 3 using ITO powder by acetylene flame.
