Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A sintered body, containing zinc, magnesium and oxygen as constituent elements, wherein the atomic ratio of zinc to the sum of zinc and magnesium [Zn/(Zn+Mg)] is 0.20 to 0.75, the atomic ratio of magnesium to the sum of zinc and magnesium [Mg/(Zn+Mg)] is 0.25 to 0.80, and the sintered body consists of a single crystal structure as measured by X-ray diffraction.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A sintered body, comprising as constituent elements: zinc; magnesium; and oxygen, wherein an atomic ratio of the zinc to a sum of the zinc and the magnesium, Zn/(Zn+Mg), is in a range of from 0.25 to 0.49, wherein an atomic ratio of the magnesium to a sum of the zinc and the magnesium, Mg/(Zn+Mg), is in a range of from 0.51 to 0.75, and wherein the sintered body mainly consists of only one crystal structure determined by X-ray diffraction. 2. The sintered body of claim 1 , wherein the crystal structure is a cubic crystal of MgO. 3. A tablet suitable for film formation, comprising: the sintered body of claim 1 . 4. A sputtering target, comprising: the sintered body of claim 1 . 5. The sintered body of claim 1 , wherein the atomic ratio of the zinc is no more than 0.45. 6. The sintered body of claim 1 , wherein the zinc is present in an atomic ratio in a range of from 0.25 to 0.45. 7. The sintered body of claim 1 , wherein the atomic ratio of the magnesium is at least 0.55. 8. The sintered body of claim 1 , wherein the magnesium is present in an atomic ratio in a range of from 0.55 to 0.75.
