  • Sputter target having modified surface texture
    Publication number: 20050072668
    Abstract: The effects of sputter re-deposition are reduced by macroscopically roughening the non-sputter areas of the sputter target. The macroscopic roughening is obtained by forming a macroscopic trough pattern in the non-sputter areas of the sputter target. A variety of patterns may be used for the trough pattern. In addition to macroscopically roughing the non-sputter areas of the sputter target, microscopic roughening of the trough patterns may be performed using conventional shot, bead or grit blasting techniques.
