Patent ID: 10017850

Abstract:
The present invention provides a sputtering target of a Cu—Ga sintered body in which the oxygen content is further reduced and the abnormal discharging can be suppressed, and a method for producing the same. The sputtering target according to the present invention is a sintered body having: a texture in which Na compound phases are dispersed in a matrix with a γ phase and a ζ phase of a Cu—Ga alloy; and a component composition made of: 20 atomic % to 30 atomic % of Ga; 0.05 atomic % to 10 atomic % of Na; and the Cu balance and inevitable impurities including elements other than Na in the Na compound, wherein an average grain size of the γ phase is 30 μm to 100 μm, and an average grain size of the Na compound phases is equal to or less than 8.5 μm.
