Description

氧化物烧结体、其制造方法及溅射靶
技术领域
本发明涉及以锌、铝、钛及氧为构成元素的氧化物烧结体及含有该烧结体而成的溅射靶。
背景技术
近年来，在便携型显示器及建材玻璃中，采用高折射率膜来调整折射率。高折射率靶的代表例为氧化钛靶，但其电阻值极高，存在难以高批量地进行DC溅射的问题。对于该问题，公开了通过掺杂微量的掺杂剂而使比电阻降低，可进行DC放电的技术(例如，参照专利文献1)。但是，氧化钛系的氧化物材料还存在由于钛和氧的结合强度强，所以在溅射时不容易原子化，成膜速度极其慢的问题。
另外，作为高折射率靶，也公开了由锌、铝、钛构成的复合氧化物烧结体(例如，参照专利文献2)。含有钛的氧化锌系靶在实现折射率2.0以上的高折射率的同时，能够获得很少发生击穿、具有稳定的DC放电性能的复合氧化物烧结体。
但是，近年来，采用可施加高功率负荷的圆筒靶的技术等得到发展，施加目前未曾设想的高功率的成膜正成为主流。因此，对于即使施加高功率时也不会发生击穿及靶开裂、可进行稳定的DC放电的高折射率靶的需求提高。

发明内容
发明所要解决的问题
本发明的目的在于，提供一种用于溅射靶的氧化物烧结体，其即使在高功率成膜时也能够减少异常放电现象，且不发生靶开裂。
用于解决问题的技术方案
本发明人对在ZnO中添加了TiO2的高折射率复合氧化物的击穿现象及裂纹产生的原因进行了深入研究。其结果，查明由ZnO和TiO2形成的Zn2TiO4结晶相容易引起异常晶粒成长，作为一定尺寸以上的结晶在靶内部存在时，在施加高功率时蓄积极大的电荷，引起激烈的异常放电。
另外，判明了一定尺寸以上的Zn2TiO4结晶相也会对烧结体的强度产生影响。在异常晶粒成长的Zn2TiO4结晶相的组织附近，部分晶界强度降低，使作为靶整体的强度降低，在击穿的同时成为靶开裂的原因。
基于此，本发明发现了通过抑制Zn2TiO4相的异常晶粒成长，防止施加高功率时发生击穿及靶开裂的氧化物烧结体。
即，本发明提供一种氧化物烧结体，
(1)一种氧化物烧结体，其具有锌、铝、钛及氧作为构成元素，其特征在于，在将锌、铝、钛的含量分别设为Zn、Al、Ti时，构成该烧结体的元素的原子比为：

Ti/(Zn+Al+Ti)＝0.05～0.20，
该氧化物烧结体中，以Zn2TiO4结晶相为母相的晶粒的平均粒径为5μm以下。
(2)如(1)所述的氧化物烧结体，其特征在于，在所述氧化物烧结体中不存在粒径超过20μm的以Zn2TiO4结晶相为母相的晶粒。
(3)如(1)或(2)所述的氧化物烧结体，其特征在于，在所述氧化物烧结体的X射线衍射中，不存在氧化铝相的衍射峰。
(4)如(1)～(3)中任一项所述的氧化物烧结体，其特征在于，相对密度为98％以上。
(5)如(1)～(4)中任一项所述的氧化物烧结体，其特征在于，抗折强度为150MPa以上。

(7)一种薄膜，其特征在于，使用(6)所述的溅射靶利用溅射法进行成膜。
(8)一种氧化物烧结体的制造方法，其特征在于，将氧化锌粉末、氧化钛粉末及BET比表面积为10m2/g以上的氧化铝粉末作为原料粉末进行混合，使得将锌、铝、钛的含量分别设为Zn、Al、Ti时元素的原子比为
Al/(Zn+Al+Ti)＝0.035～0.050
Ti/(Zn+Al+Ti)＝0.05～0.20，
成形后，对所得到的成形体进行烧结。
(9)如(8)所述的氧化物烧结体的制造方法，其特征在于，在大气或非活性气体气氛下以1300℃以下的温度进行烧结。
具体实施方式
下面，详细地说明本发明。
本发明的氧化物烧结体具有锌、铝、钛及氧作为构成元素，其特征在于，在将锌、铝、钛的含量分别设为Zn、Al、Ti时，构成该烧结体的元素的原子比为：
Al/(Zn+Al+Ti)＝0.035～0.050
Ti/(Zn+Al+Ti)＝0.05～0.20，
该烧结体中，以Zn2TiO4结晶相为母相的晶粒的平均粒径为5μm以下。
本发明的氧化物烧结体，其特征在于，具有锌、铝及钛作为构成元素。锌是用于确保氧化物烧结体的导电性的物质，钛是用于使通过溅射得到的膜获得所希望的高折射率的物质。绝缘性高的氧化钛相与氧化锌形成复合氧化物相即Zn2TiO4相，在氧化物烧结体中不含有氧化钛相。进而，通过添加铝而提高导电性，本发明的氧化物烧结体可进行稳定的DC放电。
本发明的特征在于，在将锌、铝、钛的含量分别设为Zn、Al、Ti时，构成烧结体的元素的原子比Al/(Zn+Al+Ti)为0.035～0.050、Ti/(Zn+Al+Ti)＝0.05～0.20。只要为这种组成范围，就能够抑制由氧化钛和氧化锌而形成的Zn2TiO4相的异常晶粒成长。
Al/(Zn+Al+Ti)为0.035～0.050，优选0.037～0.046。在Al/(Zn+Al+Ti)低于0.035时，难以抑制Zn2TiO4相的异常晶粒成长，在Al/(Zn+Al+Ti)超过0.050时，不能与氧化锌相固溶置换的铝会作为绝缘性氧化铝及其复合氧化物在烧结体晶界析出，烧结体的电阻率变高。
另外，Ti/(Zn+Al+Ti)为0.05～0.20，优选0.05～0.19。在Ti/(Zn+Al+Ti)低于0.05时，溅射所得的膜的折射率降低，在Ti/(Zn+Al+Ti)超过0.20时，烧结体的电阻率急剧增加，不能进行稳定的DC放电。
本发明的氧化物烧结体主要由以ZnO相为母相的晶粒、和以Zn2TiO4相为母相的晶粒构成，但是，在氧化物烧结体中，在ZnO相和Zn2TiO4相的粒径存在差别时，晶界部分的强度变得不平衡，有可能成为耐热冲击性弱的烧结体，因此，以Zn2TiO4相为母相的晶粒的平均粒径优选为5μm以下，更优选3.5μm以下。进而，更优选不存在粒径超过20μm的以Zn2TiO4结晶相为母相的晶粒，特别优选不存在粒径超过10μm的以Zn2TiO4结晶相为母相的晶粒。
另外，在本发明中，在所得的氧化物烧结体的X射线衍射中，优选不存在相当于氧化铝的衍射峰。这是因为绝缘体的氧化铝成为溅射时击穿的原因。在本发明中，通过使用BET比表面积为10m2/g以上的氧化铝粉末，能够将烧结温度设为较的低温，由于无法在ZnO相中固溶的过量氧化铝的再凝集、粒成长得到抑制，所以未出现氧化铝的X射线衍射峰。
本发明的氧化物烧结体的相对密度优选98％以上。这是因为在相对密度低于98％时，存在击穿发生的频率变高的倾向。
进而，为了进行稳定的DC放电，本发明的氧化物烧结体优选体电阻为10Ωcm以下，更优选1Ωcm以下，进一步优选0.1Ωcm以下。
另外，本发明的氧化物烧结体优选抗折强度为150MPa以上，更优选180MPa以上。如果抗折强度为150MPa以上，则即使进行抛光加工也不会发生裂纹，成品率高，因此生产性好。进而，即使在溅射中用于施加高功率的圆筒形溅射靶的情况下，也不易产生裂纹的问题。
需要说明的是，对靶施加的负荷以施加功率除以靶的刻蚀面积所得的电力密度(W/cm2)进行标准化。通常，生产中一般电力密度为1～2.5W/cm2左右，但是，在本发明中，即使在4W/cm2以上的高功率条件下，击穿的发生也极少，能够获得成为高品质的靶材料的氧化物烧结体。
本发明的氧化物烧结体的制造方法的特征在于，将氧化锌粉末、氧化钛粉末及BET比表面积为10m2/g以上的氧化铝粉末作为原料粉末进行混合，使得将锌、铝、钛的含量分别设为Zn、Al、Ti时元素的原子比为
Al/(Zn+Al+Ti)＝0.035～0.050
Ti/(Zn+Al+Ti)＝0.05～0.20，
成形后，对所得到的成形体进行烧结。
下面，对本发明的氧化物烧结体的制造方法中的每个工序进行说明。
(1)原料混合工序
考虑到操作性，优选原料粉末为氧化锌、氧化铝、氧化钛的各氧化物粉末。各原料粉末的纯度优选为99.9％以上，更优选为99.99％以上。在含有杂质时，会成为烧结工序的异常晶粒成长的原因，因此不优选。
对于氧化铝粉末，需要使用BET比表面积为10m2/g以上的氧化铝粉末。在使用BET比表面积低于10m2/g的氧化铝粉末时，不能抑制烧结时形成的Zn2TiO4相的激剧晶粒成长。另外，氧化铝粉末优选使用D50为0.15～0.35μm，D90为0.30μm～0.65μm的氧化铝粉末。
在原料混合工序中，将锌、铝、钛的含量分别设为Zn、Al、Ti时，需要以元素的原子比成为
Al/(Zn+Al+Ti)＝0.035～0.050
Ti/(Zn+Al+Ti)＝0.05～0.20
的方式将氧化锌粉末、氧化铝粉末及氧化钛粉末进行混合，
优选以成为
Al/(Zn+Al+Ti)＝0.037～0.046
Ti/(Zn+Al+Ti)＝0.05～0.19
的方式进行混合。
另外，为了抑制Zn2TiO4相的晶粒成长，优选原料粉末均匀地混合。为了进行均匀混合，优选粉碎混合后的混合粉的BET比表面积比作为主构成原料的氧化锌粉末的BET比表面积高1m2/g以上，更优选高2m2/g以上。混合粉的BET比表面积过高时，粉末的成形性降低，因此，优选制备为15m2/g以下。
这些各粉末的粉碎混合处理只要是可进行均匀混合的设备，就没有特别限定，但是，可例示使用了氧化锆、氧化铝、尼龙树脂等的球或珠的干式、湿式的介质搅拌型磨机及无介质的容器旋转式、机械搅拌式及气流式等粉碎混合方法。具体而言，可举出球磨机、珠磨机、超微磨碎机、振动磨机、行星磨机、喷磨机、二轴行星搅拌式混合机等。在使用湿法的球磨机及珠磨机、超微磨碎机、振动磨机、行星磨机、喷磨机等的情况下，需要干燥粉碎后的浆料。其干燥方法没有特别的限定，但是，可以例示例如过滤干燥、流动层干燥、喷雾干燥等。
(2)成形工序
成形方法可以适宜选择能够将混合的原料粉末成形为目的形状的成形方法，没有特别地限定。可以例示挤压成形法、铸造成形法、注射成形法等。
成形压力只要是在成形体上没有裂纹等发生而可进行处理的成形体就没有特别的限定，优选成形密度尽可能高。因此，也可以使用冷等静压挤压(CIP)成形等方法。为了获得充分的压密效果，优选CIP压力为1ton/cm2以上，更优选为2ton/cm2以上，特别优选为2～3ton/cm2。
(3)烧结工序
接着，将所得到的成形体用电气烧结炉等进行烧结。对于被烧结物的升温速度没有特别限定，但是，一般而言为20～600℃/小时的范围。对于降温速度也没有特别限定，可以考虑烧结炉的容量、烧结体的尺寸及形状、是否易产生裂纹等因素适当决定。烧结保持温度优选在1100～1300℃的范围进行，保持时间优选为0.5～8小时，更优选为1～5小时。在将烧结保持温度及保持时间设为该条件后，容易抑制烧结时生成的Zn2TiO4相的异常晶粒成长。作为烧结时的气氛没有特别限制，为了抑制锌的升华，优选设为大气或氧气氛。
(4)靶化工序
所得到的烧结体使用平面磨床、外圆磨床、车床、切断机、数控机床等机械加工机，抛光加工为板状、圆状、圆筒状等所希望的形状。接着，根据需要在由无氧铜、钛等构成的背板、衬管上使用铟焊锡等进行接合(焊接)，由此，能够获得将本发明的氧化物烧结体作为靶材的溅射靶。
烧结体的尺寸没有特别的限定，但是，本发明的烧结体强度高，因此能够制造大型的靶。在平板形溅射靶的情况下，能够制作长310mm×宽420mm(靶面的面积1302cm2)以上的大型烧结体，在圆筒形溅射靶的情况下，能够制作外径91mmΦ×170mm(靶面面积486cm2)以上的大型的烧结体。需要说明的是，在此所说的靶面面积是指被溅射侧烧结体表面的面积。在由多个烧结体构成的多分割靶的情况下，将各烧结体中被溅射侧烧结体表面面积最大的靶面积作为多个分割靶的靶面面积。
发明的效果
本发明的氧化物烧结体具有导电性，在作为溅射靶使用的情况下，即使在可DC放电且高施加功率时，异常放电(击穿)的发生及靶的裂纹也少，所成膜的薄膜为高电阻的膜。另外，烧结体的强度高，因此易于加工，成品率高，能够制造大型的靶。

(实施例7)
代替型模压制，使用CIP成形用模具以2ton/cm2的压力制作内径86mm×外径116mm×长度200mm的成形体，除此之外，按与实施例2相同的条件获得了9个成形体。接着，将该成形体设置于氧化铝制的调节器上，在与实施例2同样的条件下用电阻加热式的电炉进行了烧结。将所得的烧结体加工为内径77mm×外径91×长度170mm，获得了没有裂纹的9片烧结体。接着，将3片烧结体作为1组通过铟焊锡焊接在钛制的衬管上，获得了3根溅射靶。表2示出了所得到的烧结体的评价结果。
