These are weighed and mixed so as to have a desired target composition to obtain a powder for sintering. This is sintered with a hot press or the like to produce a sintered body for a sputtering target of the present invention.
- Metal powder and non-metallic inorganic material powder are used as starting materials. It is desirable to use a metal powder having a maximum particle size of 20 ⁇ m or less. Moreover, not only a single element metal powder but also an alloy powder can be used. In that case, it is desirable that the maximum particle size is 20 ⁇ m or less. On the other hand, if the particle size is too small, there is a problem that the oxidation of the metal powder is promoted and the component composition does not fall within the range. In addition, it is desirable to use non-metallic inorganic material powder having a maximum particle size of 5 ⁇ m or less. In addition, since it will be easy to aggregate when a particle size is too small, it is more desirable to use a 0.1 micrometer or more thing. In the following procedure, several kinds of composite particle powders having different compositions are prepared and mixed.

Next, for each set, the weighed metal powder and non-metallic inorganic material powder are pulverized and mixed by a known method such as a ball mill. Furthermore, these mixed powders are calcined to obtain a fired body in which nonmetallic inorganic material particles are dispersed in a metal substrate. For calcination, a firing furnace may be used, or pressure firing may be performed with a hot press. Next, the fired body is pulverized by a pulverizer to obtain composite particle powder in which the nonmetallic inorganic material particles are dispersed in the metal substrate. When pulverizing, the average particle size of the composite particle powder is desirably 20 ⁇ m or more.
- the composite particle powder having a plurality of compositions thus prepared is weighed so as to have a desired target composition, and these are mixed with a mixer. At this time, a ball mill having a high grinding force is not used so that the composite particle powder is not crushed. By not finely pulverizing the composite particles, diffusion between the composite particle powders during sintering can be suppressed, and a sintered body having a plurality of metal phases having different saturation magnetization can be obtained.
- a composite particle powder and a mixed powder (a mixed powder of a metal powder and a non-metallic inorganic material particle powder) can be mixed to obtain a target.
- the sintering powder thus obtained is molded and sintered with a hot press.
- a plasma discharge sintering method or a hot isostatic pressing method can also be used.

Abstract
Description
なお、以下の説明において、「スパッタリングターゲット」を、単に「ターゲット」と略記するところがあるが、実質的に同一のことを意味するものである。念のため申し添える。
また、近年実用化された垂直磁気記録方式を採用するハードディスクの記録層には、Coを主成分とするCo-Cr-Pt系の強磁性合金と非磁性の非金属無機材料粒子からなる複合材料が多く用いられている。
本発明は上記問題を鑑みて、マグネトロンスパッタ装置で安定した放電が得られるとともに、スパッタ時のパーティクル発生が少ない、漏洩磁束を向上させた強磁性材スパッタリングターゲットを提供することを課題とする。
1)Coを主成分とする金属と非金属無機材料粒子からなる焼結体スパッタリングターゲットであって、飽和磁化の異なる複数の金属相が存在し、それぞれの金属相中に非金属無機材料粒子が分散されていることを特徴とする強磁性材スパッタリングターゲットを提供する。
2)前記飽和磁化の異なる複数の金属相のうち最も飽和磁化の高い金属相が分散質として、それ以外の金属相が分散媒としての形態を有することを特徴とする請求項1の強磁性材スパッタリングターゲットを提供する。
3)前記最も飽和磁化の高い金属相の大きさが30μm以上250μm以下であり、平均アスペクト比が1:2~1:10であることを特徴とする請求項2に記載の強磁性材スパッタリングターゲットを提供する。
また、本発明は、
4)前記非金属無機材料粒子が、Cr、Ta、Si、Ti、Zr、Al、Nb、Bから選択した1成分以上の酸化物、窒化物、珪化物若しくは炭化物、又は炭素であることを特徴とする請求項1~5のいずれか一項に記載の強磁性材スパッタリングターゲットを提供する。
また、本発明は、
5)スパッタリングターゲットの切断面において、非金属無機材料粒子の外周長を該非金属無機材料粒子の面積で割った値が、0.4以上であることを特徴とする寸法と形状を備えている請求項1~4のいずれか一項に記載のターゲットを提供する。
なお、上記飽和磁化の異なる複数の金属相には、合金層も当然含まれる。
金属成分を、Crが5mol%以上20mol%以下、Ptが5mol%以上30mol%以下、残余がCoである組成とするのは、Crが5mol%未満又は20mol%を超え、またPtが5mol%未満30mol%を超える場合には、非金属無機材料粒子分散型強磁性材としての特性が低下するからである。
また本発明は、分散質となる最も飽和磁化の高い金属相の大きさを30μm以上250μm以下とし、平均アスペクト比が1:2~1:10とすることができる。この構造は、特に漏洩磁界が大きくなり、かつパーティクルが発生しにくいという特徴を有する。従って、マグネトロンスパッタ装置で安定した放電を可能とし、パーティクルの発生の低減に特に有益である。
一方、粒径が小さ過ぎると、金属粉末の酸化が促進されて成分組成が範囲内に入らないなどの問題があるため、0.5μm以上とすることがさらに望ましい。
また、非金属無機材料粉末は最大粒径が5μm以下のものを用いることが望ましい。なお、粒径が小さ過ぎると凝集しやすくなるため、0.1μm以上のものを用いることがさらに望ましい。以下の手順で、組成の異なる数種類の複合粒子粉末を準備し、これらを混合する。
こうして得られた焼結用粉末をホットプレスで成型・焼結する。ホットプレス以外にも、プラズマ放電焼結法、熱間静水圧焼結法を使用することもできる。焼結時の保持温度はターゲットが十分緻密化する温度域で最も低い温度に設定するのが好ましい。ターゲットの組成にもよるが、多くの場合、900~1300°Cの温度範囲にある。以上の工程により、強磁性材スパッタリングターゲット用焼結体を製造することができる。
