The Al 2O3 film is prepared by adopting an atomic layer deposition technology, the uniformity and the quality of the film are high, and a magnetron sputtering method is generally adopted in the preparation process of the Al 2O3 film, wherein the working principle of the magnetron sputtering is that electrons collide with argon atoms in the process of flying to a substrate under the action of an electric field E, so that Ar positive ions and new electrons are generated by ionization of the electrons; the new electrons fly to the substrate, ar ions fly to the cathode target in an accelerating way under the action of an electric field, and bombard the surface of the target with high energy, so that the target material is sputtered. In the sputtering particles, neutral target atoms or molecules are deposited on a substrate to form a film, so that the quality of the alumina target is critical to the preparation of the Al 2O3 film, for example, the density of the target is not high, the adsorption is not easy to occur when the density of the target is low, gaps are not formed, the back target is easy to fall off, and when the density of the target is high, the air hole content in the target solid is reduced, the performance of the sputtering film is improved, and meanwhile, the thermal stress in the sputtering process can be better borne by the target due to the improvement of the density of the target.

Performance test:
Density testing: the target density was tested using archimedes displacement.
Table 1: performance test meter
Analysis of results:
1. as can be seen from examples 1-3, when the temperature rising rate is increased, the density of the target will be reduced to a certain extent, and we speculate that, probably because the temperature rising rate is increased, closed pores are formed inside the target, the gas cannot be completely removed, so that the density is reduced, but the density is not reduced, and the temperature rising rate is increased, which means that the production time is shortened, so that in practical application, an operator can properly adjust the temperature rising rate according to the density requirement of the product, so as to improve the production efficiency.
2. As can be seen from examples 1 and 4-5, the method for preparing a target according to the present application can realize the manufacture of a multi-sized target, but when the size of the target reaches 1.5mx1m, the density of the target is reduced slightly, and it is presumed that the weight of the target is increased due to the increase of the size, and the friction force of the target placed on alumina sand is increased to affect the shrinkage of the target, so that the density of the target is reduced, but the density of the target still reaches 3.972g/cm 3 despite the reduction of the density of the target.
3. As can be seen from examples 4 and 6, when the pressure during mechanical pressing is increased and the sintering time in step 4 is prolonged, the density of the target is improved to a certain extent, and we speculate that the reason for this phenomenon is that the target blank is denser after the pressure is increased, so that the improvement of the density of the target is promoted; on the other hand, the sintering time in the step 4 is prolonged, so that the target material is more thoroughly contracted, the pores are fewer, and the target material and the pore are synergistic, so that the density of the target material is further improved.
4. As can be seen from examples 1 and 7, when the target was cold isostatic pressed at a pressure of 200MPa, the density thereof was significantly lower than that of 300MPa, and we speculate that, with respect to example 1, lowering the cold isostatic pressing pressure resulted in a decrease in the compaction degree of the alumina powder, and thus in a decrease in the density of the alumina green body, and finally, the result that example 7 was lower in density than example 1 was exhibited.
5. As can be seen from examples 1 and 8, when the temperature is raised to 1300 ℃ in step 4, the raising rate is reduced to facilitate the increase of the target density, and we speculate that the alumina material contracts more at each temperature stage due to the lowering of the raising rate, so that the density is increased.
6. As can be seen from example 1 and comparative example 1, when the temperature is raised to 1550 ℃ at one time in step 4, the target is cracked, and we speculate that the sintering time is too short, which results in incomplete shrinkage, more pores and further reduced target density.
7. As can be seen from example 1 and comparative example 2, when the depressurization time is shortened in step 3, the finally prepared target material is cracked, and it is presumed that, due to the shortened depressurization time, when the pressure is reduced but no pressure maintaining operation is performed, the alumina blank body is relatively expanded when the pressure is lost, thereby causing the cracking of the alumina target material.
8. As can be seen from example 4 and comparative example 1, when an alumina target with a size of 1.5mx1m is produced, the target prepared by the preparation method adopted in comparative example 3 has cracking and density reduction phenomena, and it is supposed that on one hand, the cold isostatic pressure is too high, the pressure release rate is too high, so that the target blank cracks, on the other hand, the sintering time is too short, so that shrinkage is incomplete, and more pores exist, so that the target density is lower.
