[Prior Art] The cathode sputtering method is widely used for depositing a thin film material on a desired substrate. The "system" includes a plasma source that produces an electron & ion beam, and includes a substrate on which the element (4) of the atomized material is deposited. The method includes electron or ion beam. The target material is struck at the angle of the target dry material or eroded away from the target. The sputtering target material is deposited on the substrate as a film or layer. The material used in the sputtering method has been developed from pure metal to more Complex alloys. Compounds of 3 to 6 elements and (4) Metal-based alloys such as N, 4, RuA, c, Ah (4) and Chuan Can are common in the sputtering industry. Alloy additives such as Cr, B, Zr, Ta, Hf, pt, si〇2, η 〇, etc. are often added to B2 (ie, CgA1, RuA丨, ..) and other 2 gold 3 attribute alloys to change the grain size of the deposited film or Characteristics of surface energy. Most intermetallic alloys are hard and brittle in nature, and some of them have a lower thermal conductivity than metals. Because of A, these intermetallic alloys become solid after being crushed (c〇nS〇lldated) When the shape # is faced with the mechanical processing performance of the standard dry and the working delay of the cathode shot Sexually relevant challenges. These materials are now extremely limited in mechanical resistance to mechanical impact and in the day of shooting; very limited thermal shock resistance. 'Limited content】 85798-950602.doc 1278524 and the present invention relates to A novel method of making a sputtering target, which has a metallurgical stoichiometry that provides sufficient ductility for mechanical work and shot formation. This method uses a design that will constitute a metal-containing alloy. The species is mixed with sputum and low temperature hot isostatic pressing (HIp) compaction under high pressure to prevent and control the formation of the intervening metal phase of the target material. The target does not contain some micro-metal, but the fact is not in the application. The problem is that cathode sputtering is a method of atomic and atomic/known, in which different atomic species are recombined on the substrate to open/balance and the desired intermetallic phase. Another object of the invention is to reduce the target material. The cost is because the production of the metal powder before the compaction is not a necessary step. Typically, the alloy powder is produced by sintering or gas atomization, and these methods are very easy to have. These and other objects of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description. [Embodiment] & Figure 1 shows a flow chart of a method of manufacturing a target of the present invention. For raw materials such as A1, Ti, Ru, 州, 灿, etc., it is necessary to point out that the spoon is for the requirements of the method and the quality, and at least one of the participating powders must be a very fine powder (such as _400 mesh). In all X-A1-Y, the A1 powder has a particle size of 30 彳, where X can represent elements such as Ru, Ti, Co, and Ni and Y can represent, for example, Cr, B, Zr, Ta, Hf The specific alloy compositions of pt, Si 〇 2, τ "〇3" are typically associated with crystal structures such as B2, L12, D019, lig, etc. In theory, the finer the powder, the better the processing, but the ultra-fine A1 powder is very difficult to handle because of its explosive nature. Thus, a powder of 30 microns average particle size 85798-950602.doc 1278524 is typically selected for all aluminum containing materials. The same considerations apply to Ni powder in NiNb. 20 “The mixing is also important for the entire process, as the uniformity of the final product is determined by this step. In fact, it can be applied to (4) 搀 mixing method to achieve Μ, sentence uniform f such as V-搀 mixed, Turbular 搀 mixing, spherical mill 搀 mixing and / or ball mill grinding 湿 mixed (wet or dry) All are well known in the art world. If desired, the mash powder can then be compressed at 3 Torr and then canned at 40 before the HIp is compressed. μ In step 4 of the mixing process, the powder is filled before the HIp process. For example, the container is filled with a toughness, and a vacuum is applied under heating to determine to remove any moisture present or gas trapped therein, followed by sealing. Although the geometry of the container is not limited in any way, the container may have a near final shape geometry associated with the final material configuration. As mentioned above, 50 low temperature/high pressure hot isostatic pressing (HIP) is necessary for this method. The low temperature can alleviate the formation of the embrittled intermetallic reaction zone between the elemental particles, while the high pressure ensures complete densification of the powder composition. As described herein, applications 2 to 0 to 1000 are applied. (: range temperature and 5 "丨 to (9)" 丨 range pressure for isostatic pressing. The maintenance time at design temperature and pressure ranges from 〇·5 to 12 hours. After HIP compaction, the solid block can be 6〇 Machining into the final required size, can use a variety of techniques well known in the art including wire EDM, saws, water jets, lathes, grinders, etc. It is worth noting that other powder compaction techniques such as hot pressing and cold pressing are also Can be used independently or in combination with Hlp processing, depending on the desired result. After machining, the product is cleaned and finalized at 7 0 0 85798-950602.doc 1278524 The following table describes some of the alloys made using the invention described herein.
