An apparatus and process for making metal oxide sputtering targets from volatile and thermally unstable metal oxide powder by hot-pressing the metal oxide powder in a graphite die assembly having a ceramic barrier sleeve disposed therein to isolate the metal oxide powder from the graphite die assembly components.
摘要:
A single phase W-Ti sputter target and a method of manufacturing the target are disclosed. The target is produced by mixing powders of tungsten and titanium and subjecting the mixed powders to a pressing operation for a time, temperature and pressure sufficient to achieve a mutual solid solution of W and Ti, forming single .beta.(Ti,W) phase. The single phase sputtering target emits much less particulate during sputtering than conventional multiphase W-Ti targets of comparable density and composition.
摘要:
Methods for manufacturing sputtering target assemblies and assemblies thereof are provided, particularly targets made of powders. Powders are adhered to a backing plate by use of a vacuum hot press, the powder preferably contacted by non-planar surfaces, and is compressed with at least about 95% density and substantially simultaneously diffusion-bonded to the backing plate.
摘要:
A method is provided for fabricating aluminum alloy sputtering targets having fine precipitates of a second phase material in small, randomly oriented and uniform grains. The method provided includes the steps of homogenizing the aluminum alloy billet at a temperature above the solidus temperature, deforming the billet, recrystallizing the billet at a temperature below the solidus temperature, and cryogenically deforming the billet. This minimizes second-phase precipitate size and prevents the formation of cubic structures, thereby generating fine uniform grain sizes having random orientation.

Sputter target assemblies are disclosed, wherein the target and the backing plate are joined together through brazing at low temperatures to produce a superior bond between the target and the backing plate.

摘要:
There is provided a method for fabricating high density sputter targets by pre-packing a powder bed by hot pressing or vibration between metal plates, followed by hot isostatic pressing. This method is especially suitable for preparing sputter targets with a radius to thickness ratio of at least 3 and a density of at least 96% of theoretical.
