Cylindrical sputtering target, cylindrical compact, manufacturing method of cylindrical sputtering target, and manufacturing method of cylindrical sintered compact
View Patent ↗A cylindrical sputtering target includes a plurality of cylindrical sintered compacts adjacent to each other while having a space therebetween. The plurality of cylindrical sintered compacts have a relative density of 99.7% or higher and 99.9% or lower. The plurality of cylindrical sintered compacts adjacent to each other have a difference therebetween in the relative density of 0.1% or smaller.
1. A cylindrical sputtering target, comprising:
a plurality of cylindrical sintered compacts adjacent to each other while having a space therebetween, the plurality of cylindrical sintered compacts containing ITO or IGZO and having a relative density of 99.7% or higher and 99.9% or lower, and the plurality of cylindrical sintered compacts adjacent to each other having a difference therebetween in the relative density of 0.1% or smaller,
wherein the relative densities of the plurality of cylindrical sintered compacts are different from each other.
