  • Novel manufacturing design and processing methods and apparatus for sputtering targets
    Publication number: 20080110746
    Abstract: Sputtering targets having reduced burn-in times are described herein that include: a) a machine-finished surface material having an average grain size, and b) a core material having an average grain size, wherein the machine-finished surface material has an average surface roughness (Ra) equal to or less than about the average grain size of at least one of the surface material or the core material. Sputtering targets having reduced burn-in times are described herein that include: a surface material, and a core material, wherein at least one of the surface material or the core material comprises a relatively band-free crystallographic orientation.
