Abstract
The invention intends to obtain a transparent yttrium oxide sintered body of which in-line transmittance in a visible wavelength region of 400 to 800 nm at a thickness of 1 mm is 60% or more, without using aluminum that readily segregates in grain boundaries of yttrium oxide, without using special raw materials in which a silicon content is particularly reduced and without finely pulverizing raw materials. A transparent yttrium oxide sintered body that contains, with yttrium oxide as a main component, at least either one of tantalum or niobium or both thereof and has the in-line transmittance of 60% or more at a thickness of 1 mm in a visible wavelength region in the range of 400 to 800 nm.
