    Abstract: Provided is a sputtering target which can lower a heat treatment temperature for ordering a Fe—Pt magnetic phase and can suppress generation of particles during sputtering. The sputtering target is a nonmagnetic material-dispersed sputtering target containing Fe, Pt and Ge. The sputtering target includes at least one magnetic phase satisfying a composition represented by (Fe1-?Pt?)1-?Ge?, as expressed in an atomic ratio for Fe, Pt and Ge, in which ? and ? represent numbers meeting 0.35???0.55 and 0.05???0.2, respectively. The magnetic phase has a ratio (SGe30mass %/SGe) of 0.5 or less. The ratio (SGe30mass %/SGe) is an average area ratio of Ge-based alloy phases containing a Ge concentration of 30% by mass or more (SGe30mass %) to an area ratio of Ge (SGe) calculated from the entire composition of the sputtering target, in element mapping by EPMA of a polished surface obtained by polishing a cross section perpendicular to a sputtering surface of the sputtering target.

  • Patent number: 11597434
    Abstract: An actuator that applies force to a member associated with steering, and a control device that controls the actuator, have duplex configuration. First and second control devices compute the same controlled variable as first and second controlled variables, respectively. In a normal mode, the control device controls the actuator according to the first controlled variable. The first and second control devices send and receive respectively computed controlled variables to and from each other via communications. When a discrepancy arises between the first and second controlled variables, or an abnormality occurs in communications between the first and second control devices, the operating mode is switched from the normal mode to an independent mode. In the independent mode, the first and second control devices control the first and second actuators, according to the first and second controlled variables, respectively.
