  • Patent number: 10612127
    Abstract: Provided is a sputtering target having extremely low occurrence of arcing or nodules, and a method for manufacturing such a sputtering target. A flat plate-shaped or cylindrical target material (3, 13) is obtained by processing a material composed of an oxide sintered body. In doing so, a grindstone having a specified grade is used to perform rough grinding of a surface of the material that will become a sputtering surface (5, 15) one or more times in accordance to the grade of the grindstone, after which zero grinding is performed one or more times so that the surface roughness of the sputtering surface (5, 15) has an arithmetic mean roughness Ra of 0.9 ?m or more, a maximum height Rz of 10.0 ?m or less, and RzJIS roughness of 7.0 ?m or less. A sputtering target (1, 11) is obtained by bonding the obtained target material (3, 13) to a backing body (2, 12) by way of a bonding layer (4, 14).
