焼結体の格子定数が、酸化インジウムと特定正三価金属酸化物の間にあるということは、一般に、特定正三価金属酸化物が酸化インジウムに十分に固溶されていて、異状放電を生じさせる量の単独の特定正三価金属酸化物が焼結体中に存在しないことを意味する。従って、この焼結体から得られるスパッタリングターゲットは、安定したスパッタリングを行うことができ、かつ、表面平滑性に優れた酸化物半導体を与えることができる。尚、異状放電を生じさせない程度の量の単独の特定正三価金属酸化物は含まれていてもよい。
また、特定正三価金属酸化物は、酸素との結合力が高い。従って、本発明の焼結体からなるスパッタリングターゲットを用いて得られる結晶質薄膜内の酸素欠損が抑制され、薄膜が半導体化しやすい。
さらに、特定正三価金属酸化物は、それ自体が耐酸性・耐アルカリ性であるため、得られる薄膜の耐酸性・耐アルカリ性が向上する。
特定正三価金属酸化物を添加すると、酸化インジウムの結晶質薄膜の格子定数は小さくなるため、陽イオンの原子間距離が小さくなる。従って、得られる薄膜を用いたトランジスタの移動度が向上し、S値及び耐久性が向上する。
結晶粒径は、30μm×30μmの視野で走査型電子顕微鏡にて観察した場合の全視野での結晶の平均値を結晶粒径(長径)とする。また、上記視野で観察した場合に、10μm以上の結晶が存在しなければ、平均粒径は10μm未満になる。
原料である酸化物は、純度99.99%以上の粉体が好ましい。尚、正4価以上の金属元素を添加する場合、例えば、同金属元素の酸化物等の化合物を添加する。この化合物の純度も99.99%以上であることが好ましい。各原料の純度が99.99%以上であると、不純物量が100原子ppm未満となり好ましい。
各原料の配合量は目的とする焼結体の各金属元素の配合量に対応させる。
成形処理としては、例えば、プレス成形、冷間静水圧、一軸加圧、金型成形、鋳込み成形、射出成形等が挙げられる。尚、成形処理に際しては、ポリビニルアルコールやメチルセルロース、ポリワックス、オレイン酸等の成形助剤を用いてもよい。
焼結温度が1200℃未満では、高密度の焼結体が得られない場合があり、1600℃を超えると、酸化インジウム、酸化スカンジウムが熱分解する場合がある。好ましくは1300℃~1600℃、より好ましくは1300℃~1550℃である。
焼結時間は、2~200時間がよい。2時間未満では、焼結が完了しない場合があり、高密度の焼結体が得られなかったりする場合がある。また、200時間より長いと加熱が長すぎ、経済的に不利となる場合がある。好ましくは、5~150時間、より好ましくは10~100時間である。
得られた焼結体を、切削加工、研磨加工等により、所望の形状とし、バッキングプレートに接合することで、スパッタリングターゲットが得られる。

実施例8で秤量した酸化インジウム及び酸化アルミニウムに、更に、酸化セリウム(CeO2)を、Ce元素が全金属元素に対して、800原子ppm、又は1200原子ppmとなるように添加し、実施例8と同様にして焼結体を製造した。得られた焼結体の密度は、両方とも、6.56g/cm3であり、バルク抵抗は、それぞれ、0.017Ωcm、0.009Ωcmであった。これより、正4価の金属元素を添加することにより、焼結体のバルク抵抗を下げることができることが確認できた。また、固溶状態は、X線回折より、酸化インジウムに起因するビックスバイト構造のピークを観察し、格子定数が10.1015Å、10.1019Åであることを確認し、原料であるAl2O3、CeO2に起因するピークが無いことにより確認した。
(A)薄膜トランジスタの作製
実施例8を製造したスパッタリングターゲットを用いた他は、評価例1(A)と同様にして、図10に示すチャンネルエッチ型の薄膜トランジスタを作製した。
実施例8を製造したスパッタリングターゲットを用いた他は、評価例1(B)と同様にして、半導体膜を形成し熱処理した。得られた半導体膜のX線回折(XRD)測定をしたところ、酸化インジウムに起因する構造のみのピークをしめすX線解説パターンが得られた。これにより、半導体膜が結晶質であることが確認できた。また、ホール測定により求めたキャリヤー濃度は、5.7×10+16/cm3であった。
