Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a technique capable of suppressing generation of splash even at high-speed deposition by an Al-based alloy sputtering target containing Ni and a rare earth element, wherein when crystallographic orientations <001>, <011>, <111>, <012> and <112> in a normal direction of each sputtering surface at a surface part of the Al-based alloy sputtering target, a ¼×t (t: thickness of the Al-based alloy sputtering target) part thereof and a ½×t part thereof are observed by an electron backscatter diffraction pattern method, the Al-based alloy sputtering target satisfies the requirement (1) that, when a total of area fractions of the <001>±15°, <011>±15° and <112>±15° is defined as R (as for Rat each part, the R at the surface part is defined as Ra, the R at the ¼×t part is defined as Rb, and the R at the ½×t part is defined as Rc), R is 0.35 or more and 0.80 or less; and the requirement (2) that each of the Ra, the Rb and the Rc falls in the range of ±20% of an average R value [Rave=(Ra+Rb+Rc)/3].
