Problems solved by technology

Cuboid, cube and cylinder shaped targets are solid. During the sputtering process, circular permanent magnets establish a circular magnetic field on the surface of the target and form an etching area on the circular surface with equal distances between the axes. The disadvantage is that the thickness of the film deposition The uniformity is not easy to control, and the utilization rate of the target is low, only 20%~30%

Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method of a niobium alloy target material. The preparation method comprises the steps: firstly, carrying out hot extrusion of a niobium alloy tube blank, then carrying out inner hole processing of the niobium alloy tube blank after hot extrusion, and thus obtaining the niobium alloy target material. In the preparation process of the niobium alloy target material, firstly, the surface of the niobium alloy tube blank is coated with a glass powder; because the surface of the niobium alloy tube blank is spray-coated with the glass powder, the niobium alloy tube blank is allowed to have relatively good lubrication effect in the hot extrusion process, and thus the surface quality of the niobium alloy tube blank is relatively good; the subsequent hot extrusion processing and heat treatment are conducive to refinement and homogenization of crystal grains of the niobium alloy tube blank; and finally, the niobium alloy tube blank after hot extrusion is subjected to mechanical processing, and an inner hole of the niobium alloy tube blank is bored and milled by selected special tools, so that chip breaking can be allowed to be continuously discharged from the inner hole, the problem that chip breaking is accumulated in the inner hole to affect processing of the inner hole surface is avoided, and thus the niobium alloy target material with uniform and fine internal crystal grains and relatively low surface roughness value is obtained. The invention also provides the niobium alloy target material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of target materials, in particular to a niobium alloy target material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The target is the material used as the cathode in the sputtering deposition technique, which can be separated from the cathode in the form of molecules, atoms or ions under the impact of positively charged cations and redeposited on the surface of the anode. As a special electronic material with high added value, the target is widely used as a thin film material for sputtering cutting-edge technology.
