Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009117043A1] Composite sputtering targets are made by hot pressing metal or metal containing powders into a backing plate which can be comprised of a different material with a depression formed in a surface or can be a used sputtering target of the same or different material. The depression corresponds to the erosion pattern of a target having the same geometry. The depression can be formed for example, by machining. The backing plate is loaded into a graphite die and covered with the sputtering material to form an assembly. A ram is added and the assembly with the ram is loaded into a hot press which is taken to an appropriate pressure and temperature under vacuum to form a composite sputtering target having a sputtering zone of densified sputtering material.
