The present invention provides an Al alloy thin film for a semiconductor
device electrode having an electrical resistivity of as low as 6
.mu..OMEGA.cm or less, high hillock resistance, high void resistance, and
high corrosion resistance against an alkaline solution, which are required
for an electrode thin film of large-screen liquid crystal display (LCD) or
high-resolution LCD. The present invention also provides a sputtering
target to deposit the Al alloy film by sputtering process for a
semiconductor device electrode. The Al alloy thin film for a semiconductor
device electrode satisfies the conditions of Y.gtoreq.0.3 at %, IVa group
metal element.gtoreq.0.2 at %, and 0.3C.sub.y +3C.sub.IVa.ltoreq.2
(wherein C.sub.y : Y content (at %), C.sub.IVa : content of IVa group
metal element (at %)), and the sputtering target is made of an Al alloy
satisfying the above conditions.
