    摘要: A method of constructing increased life sputter targets and targets made by the method are disclosed. The method comprises starting with a precursor target design or profile and making magnetic field strength measurements along the radial surface of same and at a plurality of vertical dimensions above the surface. An optimal magnetic field strength ratio is provided between the erosion tracks of the target. The vertical dimension of the material to be added to one of the erosion tracks is determined and then the height of the other erosion track is calculated by utilizing this optimal magnetic field strength ratio.

    摘要: A method of making metal target blank using circular groove pressing includes pressing a metal or metal alloy target blank in a first circular grooved pressing die set into a first concentric corrugated shape while maintaining an original diameter of the target blank to create concentric rings of shear deformation in the target blank. Forces are then applied to the concentric corrugated target blank sufficient to substantially flatten the target blank with a flat die set while maintaining the original diameter of the target blank to restore the target blank to a substantially flat condition. The target blank is pressed in a second circular grooved die set into a second concentric corrugated shape while maintaining the original diameter of the target blank, wherein the second die set has a groove pattern offset from a groove pattern of the first die set so as to create concentric rings of shear deformation in areas of the target blank which were not previously deformed. Forces are again applied to the concentric corrugated target blank sufficient to substantially flatten the target blank with a flat die set while maintaining the original diameter of the target blank to restore the target blank to a substantially flat condition.

    摘要: A sputtering target made of aluminum and one or more alloying elements including Ni, Co, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Mo, Nb, Ta, W, and rare earth metals (REM). The addition of very small amounts of alloying element to pure aluminum and aluminum alloy target improves the uniformity of the deposited wiring films through affecting the target's recrystallization process. The range of alloying element content is 0.01 to 100 ppm by weight, which is sufficient to prevent dynamic recrystallization of pure aluminum and aluminum alloys, such as 30 ppm Si alloy. The addition of small amount of alloying elements increases the thermal stability and electromigration resistance of pure aluminum and aluminum alloys thin films while sustaining their low electrical resistivity and good etchability. This invention also provides a method of manufacturing microalloyed aluminum and aluminum alloy sputtering target.
