Definitions
- the present invention relates to an oxide sintered body and a sputtering target used when an oxide semiconductor thin film of a thin film transistor (TFT) used in a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display is formed by a sputtering method.
- TFT thin film transistor
- Amorphous (amorphous) oxide semiconductors used for TFTs have higher carrier mobility than general-purpose amorphous silicon (a-Si), a large optical band gap, and can be deposited at low temperatures. It is expected to be applied to next-generation displays that require high resolution and high-speed driving, and resin substrates with low heat resistance.
- a sputtering method is preferably used in which a sputtering target made of the same material as the film is sputtered. In-plane uniformity of component composition and film thickness in the film surface direction (in the film surface) is smaller in the thin film formed by sputtering compared to thin films formed by ion plating, vacuum evaporation, and electron beam evaporation. This is because it has the advantage that a thin film having the same composition as the sputtering target can be formed.
- the sputtering target is usually formed by mixing and sintering oxide powder and machining.
- an In-containing amorphous oxide semiconductor [In—Ga—Zn—O, In—Zn—O, In—Sn—O (ITO), etc.]
- In is used as a rare metal, there is a concern about an increase in material cost in a mass production process. Therefore, a ZTO-based oxide semiconductor that has been made amorphous by adding Sn to Zn has been proposed as an oxide semiconductor that does not contain expensive In and can reduce material costs and is suitable for mass production.
- No. 4 discloses a sputtering target useful for producing the ZTO-based oxide semiconductor film.
- Patent Document 1 proposes a method of suppressing the occurrence of abnormal discharge and cracking during sputtering by performing long-time baking and controlling the structure so as not to contain a tin oxide phase.
- Patent Document 2 also suppresses abnormal discharge during sputtering by increasing the density of the ZTO-based sintered body by performing a two-step process of a low-temperature calcined powder manufacturing process at 900 to 1300 ° C. and a main baking process.
- a method has been proposed.
- Patent Document 3 proposes a method of improving the conductivity and increasing the density by including a spinel-type AB 2 O 4 compound.
- Patent Document 4 proposes a method of obtaining a dense ZTO-based sintered body by performing two steps of a low-temperature calcined powder manufacturing process at 900 to 1100 ° C. and a main baking process.
- Patent Document 5 proposes a low In content ZTO-based sputtering target as a sputtering target for forming a transparent conductive film having a low specific resistance and a high relative density even if the amount of In in ITO is reduced.
- the bixbite structure compound represented by In 2 O 3 and Zn 2 SnO 4 are used.
- a sputtering target used for manufacturing an oxide semiconductor film for a display device and an oxide sintered body that is a material thereof have excellent conductivity and a high relative density.
- An oxide semiconductor film obtained using the above sputtering target is desired to have high carrier mobility. Furthermore, in consideration of productivity, manufacturing cost, etc., it is desired to provide a sputtering target that can be manufactured not by a high frequency (RF) sputtering method but by a direct current sputtering method that facilitates high-speed film formation.
- RF high frequency
- Patent Document 1 described above has not been studied from the viewpoint of increasing the density, and is insufficient to stably and continuously perform DC discharge.
- Patent Document 2 has not been studied from the viewpoint of improving the conductivity of the oxide sintered body, and is still insufficient for stable and continuous DC discharge.
- Patent Document 3 described above has been studied from the viewpoints of higher density and higher conductivity, but contains a highly insulating Ga 2 O 3 phase in the sputtering target, and the semiconductor characteristics of the thin film. Therefore, it was insufficient to ensure homogeneity and film quality stability within the sputtering target plane.
- Patent Document 4 is premised on an RF sputtering method that is inferior in productivity, and is difficult to apply to mass production on a large glass substrate.
- the sputtering targets described in Patent Documents 1 to 4 and further described in Patent Document 5 described above are all used for forming a transparent conductive film, and are used as TFT oxides. It does not consider application to the deposition of semiconductor thin films. For this reason, for example, in Patent Document 5, the metal composition ratio in the sputtering target is controlled from the viewpoint of the characteristics (such as heat resistance and conductivity) required for the transparent conductive film, and the In ratio in the sputtering target is high.

Zn2SnO4化合物(相)は、本発明の酸化物焼結体を構成するZnOとSnO2が結合して形成されるものである。この化合物は所謂スピネル型化合物であり、電子材料として物性に富み、結晶構造の変化に伴って物性が変化するといった特徴を持つ。本発明において上記化合物は、酸化物焼結体の相対密度の向上と比抵抗の低減に大きく寄与するものである。
本発明の酸化物焼結体は、In/In2O3-ZnSnO3固溶体を有している。ここで「In/In2O3-ZnSnO3固溶体」とは、ZnSnO3にInおよび/またはIn2O3が固溶していることを意味する。固溶体とは、母相内に異なる原子が溶け込む(侵入)か、母相原子と入れ替わって異なる原子が入る(置換)ことによって一つの固体が形成されたものであり、本発明では、主に、InまたはIn2O3がZnSnO3中に侵入してIn/In2O3-ZnSnO3固溶体を形成していると推察される。なお、In2O3の組成によっては、一部のIn2O3は前述した主相であるZn2SnO4に固溶した状態で存在しても良い。このように本発明の酸化物焼結体では、Inおよび/またはIn2O3は、ZnSnO3(更には、Zn2SnO4)に固溶して存在することによって高密度化を達成することができる。
