Patent ID: 10262844

Abstract:
There is provided an oxide sintered body including indium, tungsten and zinc, wherein the oxide sintered body includes a bixbite type crystal phase as a main component and has an apparent density of higher than 6.6 g/cm3 and equal to or lower than 7.5 g/cm3, a content rate of tungsten to a total of indium, tungsten and zinc in the oxide sintered body is higher than 0.5 atomic % and equal to or lower than 5.0 atomic %, a content rate of zinc to the total of indium, tungsten and zinc in the oxide sintered body is equal to or higher than 1.2 atomic % and equal to or lower than 19 atomic %, and an atomic ratio of zinc to tungsten is higher than 1.0 and lower than 60. There are also provided a sputtering target including this oxide sintered body, and a semiconductor device.
