Abstract

See full text

Method of making a sputtering target includes the steps of melting a metallic target material, controlling the temperature of the melted target material in a manner that the melted target material has almost no superheat, introducing the melted target material into a mold having interior walls forming a mold cavity in the shape of the desired target, and solidifying the melted target material in the mold by extracting heat therefrom at a rate to solidify it to form a sputtering target having a cellular nondendritic microstructure uniformly throughout the target. A sputtering target is provided comprising a metallic target material having a substantially equiaxed, cellular nondendritic microstructure uniformly throughout the target.
