  • Publication number: 20190185987
    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: 10325761
    Abstract: Provided is an oxide-containing magnetic material sputtering target wherein the oxides have an average grain diameter of 400 nm or less. Also provided is a method of producing an oxide-containing magnetic material sputtering target. The method involves depositing a magnetic material on a substrate by the PVD or CVD method, then removing the substrate from the deposited magnetic material, pulverizing the material to obtain a raw material for the target, and further sintering the raw material. An object is to provide a magnetic material target, in particular, a nonmagnetic grain-dispersed ferromagnetic sputtering target capable of suppressing discharge abnormalities of oxides that are the cause of particle generation during sputtering.

  • Patent number: 10098046
    Abstract: The communication system according to the present invention includes: a mobile device 300 connectable to an LTE system and a 3G system; and an RNC 210 configured to control mobility of the mobile device 300 between the LTE system and the 3G system. When the mobile device sends the RNC 210 a request for connection to the 3G system instead of the LTE system because the LTE system imposes access restriction to restrict communication performed by the mobile device 300, the mobile device 300 incorporates mobility information in the request for connection, the mobility information indicating that the mobile device hands over from the LTE system. In addition, when acquiring the mobility information from the mobile device 300, the RNC 210 restrains the mobile device 300 from handing over to the LTE system.

  • Publication number: 20180251889
    Abstract: A sintered compact magnesium oxide target for sputtering has a purity of 99.99 wt % or higher excluding C, a density of 3.57 g/cm3 or higher, and a whiteness of 60% or less. To uniformly deposit a magnesium oxide film, a magnesium oxide target having a higher purity and a higher density is demanded. An object is to provide a target capable of realizing the above and a method for producing such a target. While a magnesium oxide sintered compact sputtering target is produced by hot-pressing a raw material powder, there is a problem in that color shading occurs in roughly ?60 (within a circle having a diameter of 60 mm) at the center part of the target. Conventionally, no particularly attention was given to this problem. However, in recent years, it has become necessary to investigate and resolve this problem in order to improve the deposition quality.
