  • Publication number: 20220220603
    Abstract: Sputtering targets including molybdenum, niobium and tantalum are found to be useful for sputtering films for electronic devices. Sputtering targets with about 88 to 97 weight percent molybdenum show improved performance, particularly with respect to etching, such as when simultaneously etching an alloy layer including the Mo, Nb, and Ta, and a metal layer (e.g., an aluminum layer). The targets are particularly useful in manufacturing touch screen devices.
