Problems solved by technology

However, in the case of using a sputtering target containing such composite oxide particles, if a film is formed by direct current sputtering, there is a problem that plasma is not generated due to abnormal discharge, and sputtering cannot be performed, or There is a problem that film formation is affected by frequent abnormal discharges
In addition, in Al as a raw material powder 2 o 3 Powder or Ga 2 o 3 When the compounding amount of the powder is large, if direct current (DC) sputtering is performed using the zinc oxide-based sputtering target manufactured above, there is a problem of frequent occurrence of abnormal discharge

Abstract

Provided is a sputtering target for forming a zinc oxide-based transparent oxide film, which is capable of forming a transparent oxide film by direct current sputtering, while being free from the occurrence of abnormal discharge. This sputtering target for forming a transparent oxide film is characterized by being a fired body of a composition that contains 0.6-8.0 at% of Al and / or Ga and 0.1 at% or more of Si so that the total of Al, Ga and Si is 33.0 at% or less relative to the total amount of all the metal elements, with the balance made up of Zn and unavoidable impurities. This sputtering target for forming a transparent oxide film is also characterized in that complex oxide particles of Zn and Si, which have particle diameters of 5 mum or less, are present in the fired body.
