Abstract

A process for preparing a target for use in production of a thin metal oxide film that comprises molding an amorphous powder of organic metal chelate complexes to obtain the target. The process also includes mixing metallic materials with an organic chelating agent so as to give a predetermined metal composition to prepare a transparent aqueous solution of organic metal chelate complexes. The process also includes spray-drying the aqueous solution to obtain an amorphous powder of the organic metal chelate complexes.
