Abstract

The present invention relates to a non-brittle silicide target for forming a gate oxide film made of MSi0.8-1.2 (M: Zr, Hf), and provides a non-brittle silicide target suitable for forming a ZrO2.SiO2 film or HfO2.SiO2 film that can be used as a high dielectric gate insulating film having properties to substitute an SiO2 film.
