  • Frictionless forged aluminum alloy sputtering target with improved properties
    Patent number: 11359273
    Abstract: A sputtering target comprising a forged aluminum material having an average grain size between about 15 and 55 microns. The aluminum material has at least one of the following: a homogeneous texture with minimal texture banding as measured by banding factor B below about 0.01; a texture gradient H of less than 0.2; or either weak (200) texture or near random texture characterized by maximum intensity of inverse pole figure less than 3 times random in multiple directions.
    Type: Grant
