    摘要: A sputtering target comprising a flat part and a tapered part on a sputter surface, wherein of the tapered part includes a crystal distortion having an average KAM value of 0.5° or more. It is possible to lower the ignition failure rate of ignition (plasma ignition), and start the sputter process stably. Because the downtime of the device can thereby be shortened, it is possible to contribute to the improvement in throughput and cost performance.

    摘要: A sputtering target formed from monocrystalline silicon is provided, wherein a sputter surface of the sputtering target is a plane inclined at an angle that exceeds 1° and is less than 10° from a {100} plane. The sputtering target formed from monocrystalline silicon provides a sputtering target which yields superior mechanical strength as well as exhibiting a sputter performance which is equivalent to that of a {100} plane. From a different perspective, in addition to superior mechanical strength, the monocrystalline silicon sputtering target yields superior particle characteristics, sputtering rate, crack resistance, surface shape uniformity and other characteristics.

    摘要: A sputtering target comprising a flat part and a tapered part, wherein a machined groove for use in ignition is arranged on a sputtering surface of the target. With the sputtering target of the present invention, the ignition failure rate during ignition (plasma ignition) can be reduced, and the sputtering process can be started stably. It is thereby possible to shorten the downtime of the device, and consequently contribute to improved throughput and enhanced cost performance.
