Description
100×I[GaInO3相(111)]/{I[In2O3相(400)]+I[GaInO3相(111)]} [%]・・・・式1
本発明の酸化物焼結体は、主にビックスバイト型構造のIn2O3相によって構成されることが好ましい。ここでガリウムはIn2O3相に固溶することが好ましい。ガリウムは正三価イオンであるインジウムの格子位置に置換する。焼結が進行しないなどの理由によって、ガリウムがIn2O3相に固溶せずに、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。)
本発明の酸化物焼結体は、酸化インジウム粉末と酸化ガリウム粉末からなる酸化物粉末、ならびに窒化ガリウム粉末、窒化インジウム粉末、又はこれらの混合粉末からなる窒化物粉末を原料粉末とする。窒化物粉末としては、窒化ガリウム粉末は窒素が解離する温度が窒化インジウム粉末と比較して高いことからより好ましい。
本発明の酸化物焼結体は、薄膜形成用ターゲットとして用いられ、特にスパッタリング用ターゲットとして好適である。スパッタリング用ターゲットとして用いる場合には、上記酸化物焼結体を所定の大きさに切断、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。
本発明の非晶質の酸化物半導体薄膜は、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、次いで熱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。また、焼結体中の窒素量をD−SIMS(Dynamic−Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry)で測定した。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および移動度は、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、ならびに窒化ガリウム粉末を平均粒径1.5μm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のGa/(In+Ga)原子数比、ならびに酸化ガリウム粉末と窒化ガリウム粉末の重量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。
実施例1〜7と同じ原料粉末を、表3のGa/(In+Ga)原子数比、ならびに酸化ガリウム粉末と窒化ガリウム粉末の重量比の通りになるように調合し、同様の方法で酸化物焼結体を作製した。
表1の結果より、実施例1〜7では、インジウムおよびガリウムを酸化物として含有し、かつ窒素を含有し、亜鉛を含有しない酸化物焼結体であって、ガリウム含有量がGa/(In+Ga)原子数比で0.20以上0.60に制御された酸化物焼結体の特性を示した。実施例1〜7の酸化物焼結体は、窒化ガリウム粉末重量比が0.01〜0.60になるよう配合された結果、その窒素濃度は1×1019atoms/cm3以上となっていることがわかる。得られた焼結体は、実施例1〜7のガリウム含有量がGa/(In+Ga)原子数比で0.20〜0.60では6.0g/cm3以上の高い焼結体密度を示すことがわかる。
