Abstract
Description
100×I[GaInO3相(-111)]/{I[In2O3相(400)]+I[GaInO3相(-111)]} [%]・・・・式1
(式中、I[In2O3相(400)]は、ビックスバイト型構造のIn2O3相の(400)ピーク強度であり、I[GaInO3相(-111)]は、β-Ga2O3型構造の複合酸化物β-GaInO3相(-111)ピーク強度を示す。)
(a)組成
本発明に用いられる酸化物焼結体は、インジウム、ガリウム及び亜鉛を酸化物として含有する酸化物焼結体であって、ガリウムの含有量がGa/(In+Ga)原子数比で0.20以上0.49以下、かつ亜鉛の含有量がZn/(In+Ga+Zn)原子数比で0.0001以上0.08未満である。酸化物焼結体をこの範囲とすることで、本発明に係る非晶質の酸化物半導体薄膜も同様の原子量比とすることができる。
本発明に用いられる酸化物焼結体は、主にビックスバイト型構造のIn2O3相及びβ-Ga2O3型構造のGaInO3相によって構成されるが、これらに加えて(Ga,In)2O3相を多少含んでもよい。ここでガリウムはIn2O3相に固溶する、あるいはGaInO3相ならびに(Ga,In)2O3相を構成することが好ましい。基本的に正三価イオンであるガリウムは、In2O3相に固溶する場合には同じく正三価イオンであるインジウムの格子位置を置換する。GaInO3相ならびに(Ga,In)2O3相を構成する場合には、基本的にGaが本来の格子位置を占有するが、Inの格子位置に欠陥として若干置換固溶していても構わない。また、焼結が進行しないなどの理由によって、ガリウムがIn2O3相に固溶しにくい、あるいはβ-Ga2O3型構造のGaInO3相ならびに(Ga,In)2O3相が生成しにくくなり、その結果として、β-Ga2O3型構造のGa2O3相を形成することは好ましくない。Ga2O3相は導電性に乏しいため、異常放電の原因となる。
(式中、I[In2O3相(400)]は、ビックスバイト型構造のIn2O3相の(400)ピーク強度であり、I[GaInO3相(-111)]は、β-Ga2O3型構造の複合酸化物β-GaInO3相(-111)ピーク強度を示す。)

本発明に用いられるターゲットは、本発明に用いられる酸化物焼結体を所定の大きさに加工することで得られる。ターゲットとして用いる場合には、さらに表面を研磨加工し、バッキングプレートに接着して得ることができる。ターゲット形状は、平板形が好ましいが、円筒形でもよい。円筒形ターゲットを用いる場合には、ターゲット回転によるパーティクル発生を抑制することが好ましい。また、上記酸化物焼結体を、例えば円柱形状に加工してタブレットとし、蒸着法やイオンプレーティング法による成膜に使用することができる。
本発明に係る非晶質の酸化物半導体薄膜は、主に、前記のスパッタリング用ターゲットを用いて、スパッタリング法で基板上に一旦非晶質の酸化物薄膜を形成し、次いでアニール処理を施すことによって得られる。
得られた酸化物焼結体の金属元素の組成をICP発光分光法によって調べた。得られた酸化物焼結体の端材を用いて、X線回折装置(フィリップス製)を用いて粉末法による生成相の同定を行った。
得られた酸化物薄膜の組成をICP発光分光法によって調べた。酸化物薄膜の膜厚は表面粗さ計(テンコール社製)で測定した。成膜速度は、膜厚と成膜時間から算出した。酸化物薄膜のキャリア濃度及び移動度は、ホール効果測定装置(東陽テクニカ製)によって求めた。膜の生成相はX線回折測定によって同定した。
酸化インジウム粉末と酸化ガリウム粉末、ならびに酸化亜鉛粉末を平均粒径1.0μm以下となるよう調整して原料粉末とした。これらの原料粉末を、表1及び表2の実施例及び比較例のGa/(In+Ga)原子数比、Zn/(In+Ga+Zn)原子数比の通りになるように調合し、水とともに樹脂製ポットに入れ、湿式ボールミルで混合した。この際、硬質ZrO2ボールを用い、混合時間を18時間とした。混合後、スラリーを取り出し、濾過、乾燥、造粒した。造粒物を、冷間静水圧プレスで3ton/cm2の圧力をかけて成形した。
(式中、I[In2O3相(400)]は、ビックスバイト型構造のIn2O3相の(400)ピーク強度であり、I[GaInO3相(-111)]は、β-Ga2O3型構造の複合酸化物β-GaInO3相(-111)ピーク強度を示す。)
表1の結果より、実施例1~15では、ガリウム含有量がGa/(In+Ga)原子数比で0.20以上0.49以下であり、亜鉛の含有量がZn/(In+Ga+Zn)原子量比で0.0001以上0.08未満の場合には、ビックスバイト型構造のIn2O3相とβ-Ga2O3型構造のGaInO3相、あるいはビックスバイト型構造のIn2O3相とβ-Ga2O3型構造のGaInO3相と(Ga,In)2O3相、あるいはビックスバイト型構造のIn2O3相とβ-Ga2O3型構造のGaInO3相とYb2Fe3O7型構造のIn2Ga2ZnO7相によって構成されていた。
