Description
本発明に係る酸化物焼結体は、3価のインジウムイオン(In3+)と、2価の金属イオン(X2+)(但し、XはMg、Ca、Co及びMnから選択される1種以上の元素を表す。)と、3価の金属イオン(Y3+)(但し、YはB、Y、Crから選択される1種以上の元素を表す。)又は4価の金属イオン(Z4+)(但し、ZはSi、Ge、Ti、Zrから選択される1種以上の元素を表す。)と、酸素イオン(O2-)とからなる。但し、通常入手可能な原料の精製工程上、不可避的に含まれてくる元素や、酸化物焼結体製造プロセス上不可避的に混入する不純物元素を、不可避的に含まれる濃度程度、例えば各元素10ppm程度まで含むものは本発明に係る焼結体に包含される。
酸化物焼結体の相対密度は、スパッタ時の表面のジュール発生と相関がある。酸化物焼結体が低密度であると、その酸化物焼結体をターゲットに加工してスパッタ成膜する際に、スパッタの成膜の経過に従って、表面にインジウムの低級酸化物である、突起状のノジュールと呼ばれる高抵抗部分が発生し、その後のスパッタ時に異常放電の起点となり易い。本発明では、組成の適正範囲や製造条件の適正化によって酸化物焼結体の相対密度を98%以上とすることができ、この程度の高密度であれば、スパッタ時のノジュールによる悪影響は殆どない。相対密度は好ましくは99%以上であり、より好ましくは99.5%以上である。
なお、酸化物焼結体の相対密度は、酸化物焼結体を所定の形状に加工した後の重量と外形寸法より算出した密度を、その酸化物焼結体の理論密度で除することで求めることができる。
酸化物焼結体のバルク抵抗は、スパッタ時の異常放電の発生のし易さと相関があり、バルク抵抗が高いとスパッタ時に異常放電が発生し易い。本発明では、組成の適正範囲や製造条件の適正化によってバルク抵抗を3mΩcm以下とすることができ、この程度の低バルク抵抗であれば、スパッタ時の異常放電発生への悪影響は殆どない。バルク抵抗は好ましくは2.7mΩcm以下であり、より好ましくは2.5mΩcm以下である。
なお、バルク抵抗は四探針法により抵抗率計を使用して測定することができる。
本発明に係る各種組成の酸化物焼結体は、例えば、原料である酸化インジウム、酸化マグネシウム等の各原料粉体の配合比や原料粉体の粒径、粉砕時間、焼結温度、焼結時間、焼結雰囲気ガス種類等の条件を調整することにより得ることができる。
上記の様にして得られた酸化物焼結体は、研削や研磨等の加工を施すことによりスパッタリング用ターゲットとすることができ、これを使用して成膜することにより、当該ターゲットと同一組成をもつ酸化物膜を形成することができる。加工の際は、平面研削等の方法で表面を研削することによって、表面粗さ(Ra)を5μm以下とすることが望ましい。表面粗さを小さくすることによって、異常放電の原因となるノジュール発生の起点を減少させることができる。
酸化物膜のキャリア濃度は、その膜をトランジスタのチャネル層に使用した際に、トランジスタの各種特性と相関がある。キャリア濃度が高すぎると、トランジスタのオフ時にも、微少漏れ電流が発生してしまい、オンオフ比が低下してしまう。一方、キャリア濃度が低すぎると、トランジスタを流れる電流が小さくなってしまう。本発明では、組成の適正範囲等によって、酸化物膜のキャリア濃度を1016〜1018cm-3とすることができ、この範囲であれば、特性が良好なトランジスタを作製することができる。
移動度はトランジスタの特性の中でも、最も重要な特性の一つであり、酸化物半導体がトランジスタのチャネル層として使用される競合材料であるアモルファスシリコンの移動度である1cm2/Vs以上であることが望ましい。移動度は基本的には、高ければ高いほど良い。本発明に係る酸化物膜は組成の適正範囲等によって、1cm2/Vs以上の移動度を有することができ、好ましくは3cm2/Vs以上の移動度を有することができ、より好ましくは5cm2/Vs以上の移動度を有することができる。これによって、アモルファスシリコンより優れた特性となって、産業上の応用可能性がより高まる。

段差計(Veeco社製、型式Dektak8 STYLUS PROFILER)を用いて求めた。
(オ)膜のキャリア濃度及び移動度
成膜したガラス基板を約10mm角に切り出し、四隅にインジウム電極をつけて、ホール測定装置(東陽テクニカ社製、型式Resitest8200)にセットして測定した。
(カ)膜の結晶又は非晶質構造
リガク社製RINT−1100X線回折装置を用いて結晶性を判定した。このX線回折によって、バックグランドレベル以上の有意なピークが認められなかったことをもって、非晶質と判断した。
(キ)粉体の平均粒径
粉体の平均粒径は、島津製作所製SALD−3100により測定した。
酸化インジウム粉(平均粒径1.0μm)、酸化ケイ素粉(平均粒径1.0μm)、及び、酸化マグネシウム粉(平均粒径1.0μm)を金属元素の原子数比(In:Si:Mg)が0.4:0.3:0.3となる様に秤量し、湿式混合粉砕した。粉砕後の混合粉の平均粒径は0.8μmであった。この混合粉を、スプレードライヤーで造粒後、金型に充填し、加圧成形した後、大気雰囲気中1450℃の高温で10時間焼結した。得られた焼結体を直径6インチ、厚さ6mmの円盤状に加工してスパッタリングターゲットとした。当該ターゲットについて、重量と外形寸法との測定結果と理論密度から相対密度を算出したところ99.5%であった。また、四探針法により測定した焼結体のバルク抵抗は2.2mΩcmであった。
原料粉の組成比を表1に記載のそれぞれの値となる様にした以外は、実施例1と同様にして、酸化物焼結体及び酸化物半導体薄膜を得た。それぞれの相対密度、バルク抵抗、キャリア濃度、移動度は、表1に記載の通りであった。また、焼結体及び膜の組成はそれぞれ原料粉の組成比と同一であった。これらの酸化物半導体薄膜の成膜時には、異常放電は認められなかった。
原料粉の組成比を表1に記載のそれぞれの値となる様にした以外は、実施例1と同様にして、酸化物焼結体及び酸化物半導体薄膜を得た。それぞれの相対密度、バルク抵抗、キャリア濃度、移動度は、表1に記載の通りであった。また、焼結体及び膜の組成はそれぞれ原料粉の組成比と同一であった。
一方、比較例1,4,6〜10では、キャリア濃度が1016cm-3未満であった。
また、比較例1,4,6,8,10では、移動度が1cm2/Vs未満であった。
また、比較例2,3,5では、キャリア濃度が1018cm-3超であった。
