Claim 0:
1. An electrically conductive, oxidic target material configured for sputtering, comprising:
a proportion of substoichiometric molybdenum oxide phases of at least 60% by volume, based upon a total volume of solid material in the electrically conductive, oxidic target material comprising substoichiometric MoO3-y phases, where y is in each case in a range of from 0.05 to 0.25;
an MoO2 phase in a proportion of 2-20% by volume, based upon the total volume of solid material in the electrically conductive, oxidic target material; and
a proportion of an MoO3 phase being ≤1% by volume, based upon the total volume of solid material in the electrically conductive, oxidic target material,
wherein the electrically conductive, oxidic target material is a sintered material having a relative density of at least 95%,
wherein the electrically conductive, oxidic target material further comprises a metal other than molybdenum present in metallic or oxidic form as a dopant in an amount of from 0.5 mol % to 20 mol %,
wherein the dopant is a metal selected from the group consisting of tantalum, niobium, titanium, chromium, zirconium, vanadium, hafnium, and tungsten, and
wherein the electrically conductive, oxidic target material has an oxygen content in a range of from 71.4 to 74.5 at. %.
