摘要： Sputtering targets having a reduced burn-in time are disclosed that comprise: a) a heat-modified surface material having a substantially uniform crystallographic orientation, wherein at least part of the surface material was melted during heat-treatment, and b) a core material having an average grain size. Sputtering targets are also disclosed that include a heat-modified surface material having network of shallow trenches, alternating rounded peaks and valleys in the surface of the target or a combination thereof, wherein at least part of the surface material was melted during heat-treatment, and a core material having an average grain size. Methods of producing sputtering targets having reduced burn-in times comprises: a) providing a sputtering target comprising a sputtering surface having a sputter material and a crystal lattice, and b) heat-modifying the sputtering surface in order to melt at least part of the surface material and modify the crystal lattice. Methods of producing a sputtering target having a reduced burn-in time are also disclosed comprising: providing a sputtering target having a sputtering surface, wherein the sputtering surface comprises a damage layer, and modifying the sputtering surface by deplating a layer of material, pulsed-plating a layer of material or a combination thereof.

摘要： Sputtering targets having reduced burn-in times are described herein that include: a) a machine-finished surface material having an average grain size, and b) a core material having an average grain size, wherein the machine-finished surface material has an average surface roughness (Ra) equal to or less than about the average grain size of at least one of the surface material or the core material. Sputtering targets having reduced burn-in times are described herein that include: a surface material, and a core material, wherein at least one of the surface material or the core material comprises a relatively band-free crystallographic orientation. In addition, methods of producing sputtering targets having reduced burn-in times include: providing a surface material having at least some residual surface damage, providing a core material, coupling the surface material to the core material, and machine-finishing the surface material to an average surface roughness (Ra) equal to or less than about the average grain size of at least one of the surface material or the core material. Also, methods of producing sputtering targets having reduced burn-in times include: providing a surface material combined with a core material, wherein the surface material has at least some residual surface damage and machine-finishing the surface material to an average surface roughness (Ra) equal to or less than about the average grain size of at least one of the surface material or the core material.
