``Industrial Application Field'' This invention relates to a chromium target for sputtering used in thin film formation. ``Conventional technology'' Traditionally, sputtering is used to form thin chrome films: (a) A thin chrome film is formed on plastic as a base and used for car dampers, handles, etc. (b) A thin chromium film is formed on only one side of a glass base and used as a mirror. (c) A thin chromium film is formed on only one side of a glass substrate, resist is applied, exposed, and etched, and this is used as a photomask. It is used for such things. "Problems to be Solved by the Invention" By the way, in the conventional sputtering method for forming a chromium thin film, the adhesion between the formed chromium thin film and the base is not satisfactory, so there is an under-layer between the base and the chromium thin film. In many cases, countermeasures such as interposing a thin film of nickel or silicon dioxide as a coating are taken, which increases the number of man-hours, and a solution to this problem has been desired. "Means for Solving the Problems" The present inventors have conducted extensive research to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and have come to the following findings. That is, as is well known, most conventional chromium targets use metallic chromium produced by the thermite method or electrolytic refining method as their raw material. Due to the manufacturing process, these metal chromium
Iron is inevitably mixed in, and its content is usually around 70 to 5000 ppm. It has also been found that this iron component reduces the adhesion of the chromium thin film to the base. Furthermore, this phenomenon occurs when the iron content exceeds 45 ppm, and it was found that if the iron content was kept below 45 ppm, the adhesion would not deteriorate and sufficient adhesion could be obtained. . In addition, such metal chromium includes Al, Pb,
Impurities such as Cu, Mn, and Mg are mixed in, but these impurities can be easily removed during the manufacturing process of metal chromium and kept to less than 10 ppm. It turned out that it was not causing a decline. This invention was made based on the above findings, and is characterized in that the iron content in the raw materials constituting the chromium target is adjusted to 0.5 to 45 ppm. Here, the reason why the iron content is set to 0.5 ppm or more is because it is economically difficult to adjust the iron content to 0.5 ppm or less. "Function" According to the above configuration, the adhesion of the chromium thin film can be easily improved without applying an undercoat between the base and the chromium thin film, and moreover, the cost does not increase. "Example" An example of the present invention will be described below. First, chromic acid (CrO 3 ) was electrolytically purified in a H 2 SO 4 bath. In this electrolytic refining, the electrolytic solution (H 2 SO 4 ) was circulated, and during the circulation, residues and impurities were removed using filtration and an Fe ion-selective diaphragm to repeatedly purify the electrolytic solution. The electrolysis conditions are as follows: CrO 3 concentration: 130g/, SO 2 - concentration: 3g/, cathode current density: 40A/cm 2 , electrolyte temperature: 80°C In electrolytic refining under these conditions, the electrolyte Metallic chromium with an iron content of 0.5 to 45 ppm was obtained by changing the amount of circulation. The results are shown in the table on the next page. The same table shows the results of conventional electrolytic refining that does not use an Fe ion-selective diaphragm.

[Table] As is clear from the table above, when electrolysis is performed under the above conditions, metallic chromium with an iron content of 0.5 to 45 ppm can be obtained. Next, after washing and drying the metal chromium obtained in the above manner, it is crushed by a stamp mill.
It was sifted to 60 mesh or less. Then, this raw material powder of 60 mesh or less,
It was filled into a cylindrical can made of SUS, and after vacuum degassing, the can was compression molded by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) under conditions of 1200° C. and 1000 atm. Thereafter, the SUS can was peeled off by machining to obtain a chromium target for sputtering of the present invention. The chromium target thus obtained was installed in a sputtering device and sputtered onto the substrate shown in the table on the next page to form a chromium thin film.The adhesion strength of each was examined, and the results were as shown in the table. For comparison, the adhesion strength of a chromium target using conventional raw materials with an iron content of 45 ppm or more was also investigated in the same manner. Here, the adhesion strength test of the chromium thin film was conducted by applying adhesive tape to the surface of each thin film formed on each base as shown in the table on the next page and peeling it off. The conditions are shown below. As the adhesive tape, Scotch Tape (trade name) manufactured by Sumitomo 3M Limited was used. The tape was applied and peeled off in the following manner. B. First, as shown in Figures 1 and 2,
A part 1a of the outer periphery of the thin film 1 is formed on the surface of the thin film 1.
Tape 2 is applied in a state containing the . At this time, the tape 2 is applied to the thin film 1 in an area of width (W) 25 mm x length (L) 50 mm, and the area is pressed with a finger. The pressing force at this time is approximately 3 kg/cm 2 . (b) Next, as shown in FIG. 3, grasp the left end of the tape 2 and direct the tape 2 toward the outer peripheral edge part 1b opposite to the outer peripheral edge part 1a so that the surface of the thin film 1 It is completely peeled off from the thin film 1 by pulling it in a state parallel to . The speed when peeling off tape 2 is approximately 50cm/
Let it be s. The results of the above test are shown in the table on the next page. The evaluation method is that the thin film 1
The part that was attached to the surface of, that is, the width (W) 25
``Yes'' indicates that a thin film piece with a size (area) of 1 mm x 1 mm or more is attached within a range of mm x length (L) 50 mm.
This indicates that the adhesion strength of the thin film 1 to the substrate 3 is low, and on the other hand, when a thin film piece with a size (area) of less than 1 mm x 1 mm is attached, or when no thin film piece is attached at all, it is classified as " This was done by indicating that the adhesion strength was high by setting it as "no". As shown in the table, all of the chromium targets of the present invention exhibited superior adhesion compared to the comparative chromium targets. In addition, impurities such as Al, Pb, Cu, Mn, Mg, etc.
In both the chromium target of the present invention and the conventional comparative chromium target, the amount of impurities containing iron is very small, and when comparing the total impurities containing iron between the present invention and the conventional chromium target, for example, the iron content is 45 ppm. The total amount of iron-containing impurities in the chromium target of the present invention is 67 ppm, while the total amount of iron-containing impurities in the conventional chromium target, which has an iron content of 50 ppm, is 61 ppm. Since the total amount of , is clearly dependent on the iron content.
