Abstract

The sintered body including silicon oxide and carbon, wherein the sintered body has a D band peak at a wave number of 1,311 cm −1 to 1,371 cm −1 and a G band peak at a wave number of 1,572 cm −1 to 1,632 cm −1 in a Raman spectrum, and wherein the D band peak or the G band peak have a higher intensity than a fifth peak present at a wave number of 1,027 cm −1 to 1,087 cm −1 in the Raman spectrum, is disclosed.

2 . The sintered body of claim 1 , wherein the D band peak or the G band peak has an intensity 1.5 times or more and 5 times or less higher than the fifth peak.

3 . The sintered body of claim 1 , wherein the D band peak or the G band peak has a higher intensity than a fourth peak present at a wave number of 762 cm −1 to 822 cm −1 .

4 . The sintered body of claim 1 , wherein an average intensity at a wave number of 1,212 cm −1 to 1,262 cm −1 in the Raman spectrum is higher than the intensity of the fifth peak.

5 . The sintered body of claim 1 , wherein an intensity ratio I d /I g of the D band peak and the G band peak is greater than or equal to 0.9 and less than or equal to 1.5.

6 . The sintered body of claim 1 , wherein the sintered body has a compressive strength of 380 MPa or more and 580 Mpa or less.

7 . The sintered body of claim 1 , wherein a content of the carbon is greater than or equal to 0.01% by weight and less than or equal to 1.5% by weight based on a total weight of the sintered body.

8 .
