Abstract

A method for producing an indium-tin-oxide sintered body comprising the steps of;molding a powder comprising indium, tin and oxygen, andsintering the molded article in oxygen gas-containing atmosphere,wherein the halogen content of the powder comprising indium, tin and oxygen is 0.02% by weight or less, the concentration of oxygen in the oxygen gas-containing atmosphere is 90% or more during the sintering, the partial pressure of moisture contained in the oxygen gas-containing atmosphere is 800 Pa or less during the sintering, and the molded article is maintained at a temperature in the range from 1500 to 1650° C. for 1 hour or more for the sintering.
