摘要:
An Ag sputtering target 6 has three-dimensional fluctuation of grain sizes of not more than 18%. The fluctuation is determined by exposing plural sputtering surfaces by slicing the sputtering target 6 in planes to initial sputtering surface, selecting plural locations on each of the exposed sputtering surfaces, calculating values A1 and B1 using the formula below, and selecting larger one of the values A1 and B1 as the three-dimensional fluctuation of the grain sizes. A1=(Dmax−Dave)/Dave×100(%) B1=(Dave
摘要:
The sputtering target made of a Ag—Bi-base alloy contains Bi in solid solution with Ag. The sputtering target has an intensity of precipitated Bi of 0.01 at %−1 or less, as calculated by the following mathematical expression (1) based on analysis results of X-ray diffraction, and/or a sum of area ratios of predetermined intensities (third to sixth intensities in 8 intensities) of 89% or more, wherein the area ratios are obtained by calculating a planar distribution of characteristic X-ray intensities of Bi according to X-ray microanalysis: intensity of precipitated Bi=[IBi(102)/IAg(111)+IAg(200)+IAg(220)+IAg(311))]/[Bi]. Remarkable lowering of the yield of Bi content in resultant films can be suppressed by using the sputtering target.

摘要:
A silver alloy sputtering target is provided which is useful in forming a thin silver-alloy film of a uniform thickness by the sputtering method. When crystal orientation strengths are determined at four arbitrary positions by the X-ray diffraction method, the orientation which exhibits the highest crystal orientation strength (Xa) is the same at the four measurement positions, and variations in strength ratio (Xb/Xa) between the highest crystal orientation strength (Xa) and the second highest crystal orientation strength (Xb) is 20% ore less.
