When the raw materials containing Si, Al, and Eu are mixed, a method of performing dry mixing, a method of removing the solvent after performing wet mixing in an inert medium that does not substantially react with each component of the raw material, etc. Any method can be applied to the hair. For the mixing device, a v / 3⁄4 mixer, a rocking mixer (R〇cking Mixer), a ball mill, a vibrating machine, etc. can be used. After the raw material mixed powder is dried as needed, The mixture is filled in a container such as a crucible in which at least the surface to which the original surface is formed is formed of boron nitride, and heated in a nitrogen gas ring. The mixed raw material mixed powder is placed in a nitrogen atmosphere at 丨8 2 〇. C is preferably calcined at a temperature of 1 850 ° C or more and 2 〇 5 (degrees below TC (hereinafter referred to as a first heating step). The heating temperature is low, and Eu cannot enter the β-type yttrium aluminum. Nitrogen oxide crystals If the degree is increased above the required level, a high nitrogen pressure of 201217495 must be applied to suppress the decomposition of the Eu-solution β-type Shi Ximing nitrogen oxide. The pressure conditions in the firing are preferably 0.5 MPa or more and 10 MPa or less. The time is generally from 10 hours to 20 hours. In the case of the raw material mixed powder, it is also possible to use a metal powder containing Si instead of using tantalum nitride. In this case, the metal powder containing Si must be subjected to the first heating step. Nitriding treatment. The nitridation reaction of the metal powder containing Si is performed at a temperature of 1400 ° C or higher and 1 600 ° C. Therefore, the metal powder containing Si is subjected to a nitrogen atmosphere at the above temperature range before the first heating step. Heating is performed to convert Si into Si3N4. Next, after the first heating step, the obtained fired product is additionally heated in a vacuum or a gas atmosphere other than nitrogen (hereinafter referred to as a second heating step). The step is a treatment for making the low crystalline portion remaining in the fired material more unstable. The low crystalline phase which becomes unstable due to the second heating step is treated by the mixed acid solution described later. In order to make the low crystallinity portion unstable, it is preferred to heat-treat the fired product in a gas atmosphere in which nitrogen and oxygen belonging to the element constituting the low crystalline portion are not contained as much as possible. When it is carried out in a gas atmosphere other than nitrogen, after the exhausting step, the heating furnace is filled with an inert gas (hereinafter referred to as an introduction step). The inert gas system is selected from the group consisting of ruthenium, rhodium, argon, krypton, xenon, krypton, and hydrogen. The gas is preferably argon or hydrogen. In the second heating step, the fired material is in a temperature range of 1 200 ° C or more and 1 550 ° C or less in a vacuum, or 1 300 ° C or more in an inert gas atmosphere. It is heated in a temperature range of 550 ° C or lower. If the heating temperature is within this temperature range, the decomposition of the Eu-solution β-type Shi Ximing nitrogen oxide can be suppressed. 201217495 Advance to the acid treatment step after the second heating step. In the acid treatment step, the fired product obtained by the second heating step is pulverized. The pulverized fired product is dispersed in a mixed acid solution of hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid at a temperature exceeding 60 ° C. Carry out the mixing. The acid treatment step is carried out by immersing in an acidic liquid to remove the unstabilized low crystalline portion. The temperature of the acid treatment exceeds 60. (:, 1 〇〇 °C below the temperature range. If it is excessively low temperature, the luminous intensity of Eu-soluble β-type lanthanum aluminum oxynitride will decrease. The mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid may also be about 50%. The concentration of hydrofluoric acid is mixed with about 70% of the concentration of nitric acid (hereinafter referred to as the mixed stock solution) or the mixed stock solution is diluted (hereinafter, the mixed stock solution is referred to as a mixed acid solution by dilution). After the mixed stock solution is diluted The concentration of the solution is preferably 25% or more, less than 100%, more preferably 25% or more and 5% by weight. It may not be diluted with a high concentration of a mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid. The diluted low concentration of hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid are mixed. If the mixing ratio of hydrogen acid and nitric acid is about 50% of the concentration of nitric acid from a gas acid of 70%, the ratio is 1~9:9. The ratio of ~ is preferably 3~7: 7~3. 〜1 The above mixed solution is a mixture of concentrated argon fluoride and concentrated nitric acid. The concentration of fluoric acid is 4% or more and 60%.
