Copper Sputtering Target occupies a core position in many fields such as semiconductor manufacturing, photovoltaic industry, display technology and so on with its excellent physical and chemical properties. As the key raw material of IC and film production, the quality of Copper Sputtering Target directly affects the performance and reliability of the final product.
1. Production process
Purity is one of the key factors affecting Copper Sputtering Target performance, and copper is usually required to be 99.99% pure or higher. The selected high purity copper material is melted in a controlled environment to avoid the introduction of impurities. The molten copper is then poured into a pre-prepared mold and cooled to form. This stage controls the cooling speed and direction of the copper to avoid internal defects. Then, through rolling process, the cast copper billet is processed into a plate of specific thickness. During the rolling process, the pressure and speed are precisely controlled to ensure the uniformity and flatness of the material. Finally, according to the specific needs of customers, the rolled copper plate is cut, punched and other mechanical processing to make a specific shape and size of the target material.
