Abstract

Provided is an oxide sintered body suitably used for producing an oxide semiconductor film for a display device, the oxide sintered body capable of forming an oxide semiconductor film exerting excellent conductivity, having high relative density and excellent in-plane uniformity, and exhibiting high carrier mobility. This oxide sintered body is obtained by combining and sintering a zinc oxide powder, a tin oxide powder, and an indium oxide powder. The oxide sintered body satisfies the following equation (1) when the oxide sintered body is subjected to X-ray diffraction, Equation (1): [A/(A+B+C+D)]×100≧70. In equation (1), A represents the XRD peak intensity in the vicinity of 2θ=34°, B represents the XRD peak intensity in the vicinity of 2θ=31°, C represents the XRD peak intensity in the vicinity of 2θ=35°, and D represents the XRD peak intensity in the vicinity of 2θ=26.5°.
