摘要:
A physical vapor deposition target for the manufacturing of flat panel displays is provided. The target includes a ternary alloy system having, by atom percent, a first component in an amount of about 90 to 99.98, wherein the first component is aluminum, a second component in an amount of about 0.01 to 2.0, wherein the second component is a rare earth element is selected from the group consisting of Nd, Ce, Dy and Gd, and a third component in an amount of about 0.01 to 8.0, wherein the third element is selected from the group consisting of Ni, Co, Mo, Sc, and Hf.

摘要:
A unique sequence of steps is provided to reduce contaminants along one or more surfaces and faces of gold evaporative sources without deleteriously impacting the structure of the gold evaporative sources. Edges are deburred; contaminants are successfully removed therealong; and surface smoothness is substantially retained. The resultant gold evaporative source is suitable for use in evaporative processes as a precursor to gold film deposition without the occurrence or a substantial reduction in the likelihood of spitting by virtue of significantly reduced levels of contaminants, in comparison to gold evaporative sources subject to a standard cleaning protocol.

A method for dry treating a sputter target using a plasma to significantly reduce burn-in time of the target by removing surface contaminants and also a minimal thickness of the deformed layer characteristics of a machined surface, the target so produced, and apparatus used for the target treatment.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel and improved high purity diffusion bonded copper (Cu) sputtering targets having a Cu purity level of 99.9999% (6N) or greater. The target assemblies of the present invention exhibit sufficient bond strength and microstructural homogeneity, both of which are properties previously considered mutually exclusive for conventional 6N Cu target assemblies. The grain structure is characterized by an absence of alloying elements and the bonded interface is generally flat without any type of interlayer or interlocking arrangement.
