The sputtering target is a material necessary for the physical vapor deposition (PVD) process step, and is a key material for preparing thin films. The sputtering process uses ions generated by an ion source and is accelerated in a vacuum to form a flow of teller ions. The high-speed particle flow is used to bombard the solid surface, so that the atoms on the solid surface leave the target and deposit on the substrate surface, thereby forming a thin film. The process of forming this film is called sputtering, and the bombarded solid is called the sputtering target. The target is the core material of the sputtering process.

Target Preparation Method

According to different production processes, the preparation of sputtering targets can be divided into melt casting and powder metallurgy.

Melt casting:

The melting casting method is one of the basic methods for preparing magnetron sputtering targets. Commonly used melting methods include vacuum induction melting, vacuum arc melting and vacuum electron bombardment melting. High-purity metals such as Al, Ti, Ni, Cu, Co, Ta, Ag, Pt, etc. have good plasticity. After further melting and casting directly on the original ingot, thermomechanical treatment techniques such as forging, rolling and heat treatment are carried out Organization control and blank forming.

Compared with the powder metallurgy method, the target product produced by the melt casting method has low impurity content and high density, but there is a certain porosity inside the material, and subsequent thermal processing and heat treatment processes are required to reduce its porosity.

Powder metallurgy:

Powder metallurgy is the main preparation method of sputtering target materials at present, which has the advantages of easy to obtain a uniform fine crystal structure, saving raw materials, and high production efficiency. Generally, the melt casting method cannot achieve the preparation of refractory metal sputtering targets. For two or more metals with large differences in melting point and density, it is generally difficult to obtain an alloy target with a uniform composition by using the ordinary melt casting method. For inorganic non-metallic targets and composite targets, the melt casting method is powerless, and the powder metallurgy method is the best way to solve the technical problems of preparing the above targets.

When preparing the target material by powder metallurgy, the key lies in: one is to select high-purity, ultra-fine powder as the raw material; the other is to select the forming and sintering technology that can achieve rapid densification to ensure the low porosity of the target and control the grain size ; The third is to strictly control the introduction of impurity elements in the preparation process.

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to almost 100 countries around the globe with the World Health Organization declaring it a public health emergency. The global impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are already starting to be felt and will significantly affect the Sputtering Target market in 2020.

COVID-19 can affect the global economy in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand, by creating supply chain and market disruption, and by its financial impact on firms and financial markets.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has brought effects on many aspects, like flight cancellations; travel bans and quarantines; restaurants closed; all indoor events restricted; over forty countries state of emergency declared; massive slowing of the supply chain; stock market volatility; falling business confidence, growing panic among the population, and uncertainty about future.

From the domestic situation, the domestic high-purity sputtering target market size in 2015 was 6011 million US dollars, and will reach xx million US dollars by 2026. In recent years, with the rapid development of the domestic semiconductor industry, China's fabs have ushered in the peak of investment and construction, and the market size of the semiconductor materials field will grow rapidly

Under the influence of the new coronavirus (COVID-19), some factories in Japan are temporarily closed. China is currently in the late stage of the epidemic, and large-scale resumption of production can be achieved. In Europe, America, and Japan, the situation is serious, China can be the largest substitute The factory carries out production, and, during this period, the prospects of China's semiconductor materials industry have reached a climax.

Development Trend

Due to the irregular role of sputtering ions, the sputtering target is prone to uneven erosion during the sputtering process, resulting in a generally low utilization rate of sputtering targets. In recent years, by improving the sputtering machine and strengthening product development, the utilization rate of sputtering targets has increased, but there is still much room for improvement. How to use the sputtering target is an important direction for future target research.

Sputtering target development towards large size and high purity

The technological development trend of sputtering targets is closely related to the technological innovation in the downstream application field. With the technological progress of the application market in thin film products or components, the sputtering targets need to change accordingly. In the downstream application fields, the semiconductor industry has the highest quality requirements for sputtering targets and sputtering films. As larger-sized silicon wafers are manufactured, the sputtering targets are also required to move toward larger sizes. At the same time, it also puts forward higher requirements for the crystal orientation control of the sputtering target. The purity of the sputtered film is closely related to the purity of the sputtering target. In order to meet the needs of semiconductors with higher precision and finer micron technology, the purity of the sputtering target required continues to rise, even reaching 99.9999% (6N) purity.
