The present invention relates to a target plate for sputtering. Bi used in fields such as electronic industry and electrical industry,
A thin film of a metal or semimetal such as Se, Te, Sb, In, Sn, or an alloy thereof is generally formed on a substrate by a vacuum evaporation method or a sputtering method. By the way, the target plate made of tellurium or tellurium alloy used in the above sputtering is
Conventionally, there is a casting method in which the metal, etc. is melted in a vacuum or in an inert gas and cast into a mold, and a cold press method, in which the powder of the metal, etc. is pressure-formed in a mold under high molding pressure, and then heated and sintered. Manufactured in However, in the casting method, since the vapor pressure of the above-mentioned metals is high, the amount of evaporation during production is large, resulting in a decrease in yield.Also, since these vapors are toxic, there are problems in terms of abatement and safety. Furthermore, since cast metals are glassy, they tend to crack or generate gas when cooled during production or generated during sputtering. Furthermore, the cold press method requires high compacting pressure to obtain a high-density sintered body, and there is a risk that powders with poor compressibility may break due to compression cracks or spring bags when removed from the mold. expensive. When sintering metals with high vapor pressure, there are problems such as a large amount of evaporation loss due to the large surface area. This invention has been made in view of the above points. Specifically, tellurium powder or tellurium alloy powder is molded and sintered under pressure, and the density ratio is adjusted to 70 to 90%, thereby achieving strong bending strength. To provide a target plate for sputtering made of tellurium or a tellurium alloy, which is hard to break. Here, the density ratio refers to the 100/100 ratio of the apparent density of the sintered body to the true specific gravity of the metal. Pressure forming and sintering may be carried out by conventional powder metallurgical methods, but better results are generally obtained by press forming the powder at a relatively low compacting pressure and then sintering under pressure. There are compression sintering methods and hot press methods for sintering under pressure, but a simple method of performing sintering under pressure is one that utilizes thermal expansion and thermal distortion when heating a mold filled with powder. It's a method. The sintering temperature is preferably 0.75 to 0.95 times, preferably 0.9 times, the melting point of the raw material, and the sintering temperature during production of the tellurium target plate is 340 to 430°C, preferably 410°C. The atmosphere during sintering is preferably a hydrogen or argon atmosphere. The present invention will be explained below based on examples. Tellurium powder obtained by pulverizing a commercially available tellurium shot so that the mesh size is -60mesh and the ratio of -325mesh is about 40% is molded into a predetermined shape, such as a thin disk shape, under a pressure of 10 to 500 kg/ cm2 , preferably. After pressure forming at 150-250Kg/ cm2 ,
By sintering under pressure, a sintered body with a density ratio of 70 to 90% was obtained. The reason why the density ratio is set to 70-90% is that if the density ratio is less than 70%, the bending strength will be weak, and if it is more than 90%, the number of pores will decrease, making cracks more likely to occur. This is because cracks and gas are likely to be generated during sputtering. The target plate according to the present invention has strong bending strength and is not easily cracked, so even if it is rapidly heated during sputtering, it does not crack or generate gas, and has good properties as a target plate. There is. Next, Table 1 shows a comparison of the measured physical properties of the sputtering target according to the present invention and a target plate formed by high-pressure compression molding and pressureless sintering. The target plate according to the present invention was produced by compression molding the powder loaded into a mold at a molding pressure of 158 kg/cm 2 and then pressure sintering it at 410° C. in a hydrogen atmosphere. On the other hand, in the conventional method of high-pressure compression molding and pressureless sintering target plates, the powder is compressed at room temperature with a compacting pressure of 500 kg/cm 2 to produce a compact, which is then sintered at 410°C under normal pressure in a hydrogen atmosphere. did. In addition, the powder to be sintered is -
Tellurium powder was used which was pulverized to have a mesh size of 60mesh and a -325mhsh ratio of approximately 40%. In addition, among the physical property values, bending strength is based on the Carbon Society standards.
Measured according to JCAS-10-1968-44, density ratio is
Measurements and evaluations were made in accordance with JISZ2500-319.

が少なくてすむ利点がある。[Table] As can be seen from Table 1, the bending strength of the target plate according to the present invention is 20 times that of the target plate sintered by the conventional method, even though the molding pressure is 1/3 lower. In addition, the same or higher density ratio was obtained. Note that the raw material for the target plate is not limited to tellurium powder, but also tellurium alloy powder. As explained above, the sputtering target plate according to the present invention is manufactured by pressure molding and sintering of tellurium or tellurium alloy powder, has a density ratio of 70 to 90%, has high bending strength, and is suitable for sputtering. Even when heated rapidly, there is no cracking or generation of gas, making it possible to perform sputtering operations reliably. Furthermore, since it is a sintering method, it has the advantage of less volatilization loss compared to the melting method.
