Therefore, in the optical design of a laminate using an oxide film, it is generally performed by calculation based on the data of "n" and "d" of each layer constituting the oxide multilayer film. In this case, in addition to the combination of the high refractive index film and the low refractive index film, a multilayer having more excellent optical characteristics can be obtained by further adding a film having an intermediate refractive index (intermediate refractive index film).

- the method for producing an oxide sintered body according to the present invention is a method for producing the oxide sintered body, wherein amorphous silicon dioxide powder is used as a raw material of Si and amorphous silicon dioxide powder is used. Is sintered by a pressureless sintering method.
- the manufacturing method of the oxide sinter which concerns on this invention sinter a molded object at 1100 degreeC or more and 1400 degrees C or less.
- the oxide film according to the present invention is an oxide film obtained by a sputtering method using the above oxide sintered body as a sputtering target, and has a refractive index of 1.70 to 1.90. It features.
- the mechanical strength is excellent, chipping and cracking during manufacturing and film formation can be suppressed, and oxide sintering can be performed stably without causing abnormal discharge by the sputtering method.
- Body can be manufactured.
- the obtained oxide sintered body can be used as a sputtering target for producing an oxide film.
- an optically useful intermediate refractive index film can be stably formed and provided by sputtering using an oxide sintered body as a sputtering target.
- the oxide sintered body is for obtaining an oxide film having a desired refractive index, and contains indium (In) and silicon (Si).
- the “oxide film having a desired refractive index” as used herein means an intermediate refractive index film.
- the middle refractive index film is a middle refractive index between a film having a high refractive index (hereinafter referred to as “high refractive index film”) and a film having a low refractive index (hereinafter referred to as “low refractive index film”). It is a film having
- a high refractive index film is one whose refractive index "n” exceeds 1.90 (n> 1.9), and a low refractive index film is one whose refractive index "n” is less than 1.60 (
- the oxide sintered body is for obtaining an intermediate refractive index film
- the intermediate refractive index film referred to here is an oxide film having a refractive index of 1.70 or more and 1.90 or less.
- the refractive index of the oxide film is equal to the composition of the oxide sintered body. It is known to depend on
- silicon dioxide SiO 2
- indium oxide as the main component, but the content of Si is set to 0.65 or more and 1.75 or less in Si / In atomic ratio. Do.
- damage to the oxide sintered body can be prevented by containing Si in the oxide sintered body.
- the oxide film obtained using the oxide sintered body has a high refractive index, while if the Si / In atomic ratio exceeds 1.75, In order to lower the refractive index of the oxide film, it is not possible to obtain an oxide film having an intermediate refractive index of 1.70 or more and 1.90 or less. Therefore, in the oxide sintered body, in order to obtain an oxide film having a refractive index of 1.70 to 1.90, the content of Si is set to 0.65 to 1.75 in Si / In atoms.
- the sinterability of the oxide sintered body is significantly reduced. Therefore, particularly when crystalline silicon dioxide is used as the starting material of the oxide sintered body, sintering at ordinary atmospheric pressure becomes extremely difficult due to low sinterability.
- oxide sintered body oxide sintering having a relative density of 90% or more and further excellent mechanical strength (bending strength) by using amorphous silicon dioxide powder as a raw material of Si You can get the body.
- the definition of the true density is important because the true density differs depending on the compound present in the oxide sintered body. That is, in the oxide sintered body, it is necessary to calculate the relative density to the density calculated from the abundance ratio and the true density of each compound phase constituting the sintered body.
- indium oxide based sintered body containing 30% by mass of silicon dioxide indium oxide (density 7.18 g / cm 3 ) and amorphous silicon dioxide (density 2.2 g / cm 3 ) are each alone. If present, its true density is calculated at 4.28 g / cm 3 . However, when the indium silicate compound phase is generated in the indium oxide-based sintered body, the true density is calculated to be 5.05 g / cm 3 , so the true density taking into account the presence ratio of the indium silicate compound phase is If not adopted, a large difference from the original relative density occurs. From this, in the oxide sintered body, the relative density to the density calculated from the abundance ratio and the true density of each compound phase is adopted.
- the relative density referred to here was calculated by adding the abundance ratio of each compound phase to the true density of the indium oxide phase, the silicon dioxide phase and the indium silicate phase which are each compound phase contained in the oxide sintered body. It can be represented by (B / A) ⁇ 100 [%] which is a ratio (percentage) of the actual measurement value (B) of the density of the oxide sintered body to the density (A).
- the density of the oxide sintered body can be measured, for example, using the Archimedes method or the like.
- the relative density of the oxide sintered body greatly affects not only the securing of a high yield at the time of manufacture but also the discharge stability of the oxide sintered body in sputtering.
- the relative density to 90% or more, particles (fine particles) and nodules (protrusions) generated at the time of sputtering discharge can be reduced, and generation of arcing (abnormal discharge) that inhibits continuous discharge is also effective. Can be suppressed.

- the oxide sintered body contains a crystal phase of an indium silicate compound having a thortveitite type structure in a proportion of 30% by mass or less, and when the content ratio of this crystal phase exceeds 30% by mass, the change in crystal structure This leads to a reduction in strength.
- the indium silicate having a tortuvite type structure is a compound described in the JCPDS card (31-600) and the document (Journal of Solid State Chemistry 2, 199-202 (1970)).

That is, in the oxide sintered body, for example, measurement of the formation phase by X-ray diffraction using CuK ⁇ radiation on the powder of the oxide sintered body obtained by grinding, or by Focused Ion Beam (FIB) The Si phase (metal Si phase) and / or the silicon dioxide compound phase is not detected by measurement of the formed phase by electron beam diffraction or the like on a thin piece of the oxide sintered body obtained by processing.
- Si phase metal Si phase
- FIB Focused Ion Beam
- the mechanism of film formation in general sputtering is that argon ions in the plasma collide with the target surface to repel particles of the target component and deposit them on the substrate.
- oxide sintered body containing Si phase When an oxide sintered body containing Si phase is formed as a sputtering target, oxygen supplied from the oxide sintered body or oxygen supplied when oxygen containing argon gas is introduced, and oxidation The oxidation reaction is caused by plasma heating with Si in the sintered product. It is known that this oxidation reaction generates a very high oxidative combustion heat of 930 kJ / mol, and causes local surface heat generation to cause significant roughening of the target surface.
