摘要： The present invention provides a control circuit for a power converter. The control circuit includes a switching circuit, an input-voltage detection circuit and a current-limit threshold. The switching circuit generates a switching signal coupled to switch a transformer of the power converter for regulating an output of the power converter in response to a feedback signal. The input-voltage detection circuit generates a control signal when an input voltage of the power converter is lower than a low-input threshold. The feedback signal is generated in response to the output of the power converter. A maximum duty of the switching signal is increased in response to the control signal. The current-limit threshold is for limiting a maximum value of a switching current flowing through the transformer. The current-limit threshold is increased in response to the control signal. An input of the power converter doesn't connect with electrolytic bulk capacitors.

The sputtering target comprises: a target body including a target material and having a bonding plane; a backing body bonded with the bonding plane of the target body; and at least one alarm body embedded in the target body. Wherein, a length of each alarm body, ratios of an area of each alarm body and the sum of area(s) of the at least one alarm body projected onto the bonding plane relative to an area of the bonding plane are controlled in a suitable range. Thus, the bonding strength and the heat-removing efficiency of the sputtering target can be maintained, and the distinguishable material of the alarm body can evolve a gas component distinguishable from a sputtering environment serving as an alarm signal for stopping the sputtering process in time.
