OXIDE SINTER, TARGET, TRANSPARENT CONDUCTIVE FILM OBTAINED FROM THE SAME, AND TRANSPARENT CONDUCTIVE BASE

摘要

Provided are an oxide sintered body having zinc oxide as a main component and still more containing magnesium, a target obtained by processing the same, a transparent conductive film having excellent chemical resistance and low resistance, obtained by a direct-current sputtering method or an ion plating method by using the same, and a transparent conductive substrate. Provided are an oxide sintered body having zinc oxide and magnesium, wherein the content of magnesium is from 0.02 to 0.30 as atom number ratio of Mg/(Zn+Mg); still more, an oxide sintered body having zinc oxide, magnesium, gallium and/or aluminum, wherein the content of gallium and/or aluminum is over 0 and equal to or lower than 0.09 as atom number ratio of (Ga+A1)/(Zn+Ga+Al), and the content of magnesium is from 0.02 to 0.30 as atom number ratio of Mg/(Zn+ Ga+Al+Mg); a target obtained by processing these oxide sintered bodies; and a transparent conductive film formed on a substrate by a sputtering method or an ion plating method, by using this target.
