摘要:
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.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus of forming a sputter target assembly having a controlled solder thickness. In particular, the method includes the introduction of a bonding foil, between the backing plate and the sputter target, wherein the bonding foil is an ignitable heterogeneous stratified structure for the propagation of an exothermic reaction.
摘要:
The method forms a sputter target assembly by attaching a sputter target to an insert and applying a bond metal layer between the insert and a backing plate. Then pressing the insert and backing plate together forms a solid state bond with the bond metal layer, attaches the insert to the backing plate and forms at least one cooling channel between the insert and the backing plate.

The method manufactures sputter target assemblies. It first includes the step of manufacturing a target insert. The target insert has a yield strength, a diameter, a height, a planar top surface and a conical-shaped rear surface. Then a backing plate is manufactured. The backing plate has a cylindrical recess that corresponds to the diameter of the target insert. The cylindrical recess has a depth less than the height of the target insert and a yield strength less than the yield strength of the target insert. Finally, pressing the target insert into the cylindrical recess of the backing plate bonds the target insert to the backing plate to form a target assembly. The pressed target assembly contains the target insert with the conical-shaped rear surface.

The sputter target includes a tantalum body having tantalum grains formed from consolidating tantalum powder and a sputter face. The sputter face has an atom transport direction for transporting tantalum atoms away from the sputter face for coating a substrate. The tantalum grains have at least a 40 percent (222) direction orientation ratio and less than a 15 percent (110) direction orientation ratio in an atom transport direction away from the sputter face for increasing sputtering uniformity, the tantalum body being free of (200)–(222) direction banding detectable by Electron Back-Scattering Diffraction and wherein the sputter target has a purity of at least 99.99 (%) percent.

The sputter target deposits nickel from a binary alloy. The binary alloy contains, by weight percent, 9 to 15 titanium and the balance nickel and incidental impurities. The binary alloy has, by weight percent, 35 to 50 TiNi3 needle-like intermetallic phase and balance &agr;-nickel phase. The TiNi3 needle-like intermetallic phase and &agr;-nickel phase are formed from a eutectic decomposition. The &agr;-nickel phase has a grain size between 50 and 180 &mgr;m. The binary alloy has a Curie temperature of less than or equal to a temperature of 25° C. and exhibits paramagnetic properties at temperatures of 25° C. or lower.
