Sputtering target
A sputtering target comprising a target material, wherein a sputtering face of the target material has a ramp provided to reduce a thickness of the target material at a position where erosion concentrates most intensively during sputtering.
1. A sputtering target comprising a target material, wherein a sputtering face of the target material has a circular shape and a ramp, wherein
the target material includes a flat circular first region positioned at a center of the sputtering face, and a flat ring-shaped second region positioned around the first region, wherein
the ramp has been provided so as to reduce a thickness of the target material, toward inner part of the sputtering face in the radial direction of the sputtering face between the first region and the second region, wherein
a diameter of the first region accounts for 32% or more and 58% or less of a diameter of the sputtering face, and
a thickness of the ramp is 0.5 mm to 5 mm, wherein
the thickness of the first region is 10 mm to 30 mm, wherein
the ring width of the second region is 5 mm to 75 mm.
2. A sputtering target comprising a target material, wherein a sputtering face of the target material has a circular shape and a ramp, wherein
the target material includes a flat circular first region positioned at a center of the sputtering face, and a flat ring-shaped second region positioned around the first region, wherein
the ramp has been provided so as to reduce a thickness of the target material, toward inner part of the sputtering face in the radial direction of the sputtering face between the first region and the second region, wherein
a diameter of the first region accounts for 32% or more and less than 50% of a diameter of the sputtering face, and
a thickness of the ramp is 0.5 mm to 5 mm, wherein
the thickness of the first region is 10 mm to 30 mm, wherein
the ring width of the second region is 5 mm to 75 mm.
3. The sputtering target according to any one of claims 1 to 2 , further comprising a backing plate.
4. The sputtering target according to claim 3 , wherein
the thickness of the backing plate is 5 mm to 30 mm.
5. The sputtering target according to claim 3 , wherein
the entire height of the sputtering target is 10 mm to 70 mm.
