Abstract:
To provide a process for producing a cylindrical target which has almost no distortion in the longitudinal direction. The process for producing a cylindrical target according to the present invention comprises the steps of: processing a target material into a cylindrical shape; providing an adapter for attachment to a sputtering apparatus, in the target material processed into the cylindrical shape; and measuring a straightness in a longitudinal direction of an appearance of the target material having the adapter to confirm whether the straightness of the target material having the adapter is within a predetermined range.

Claim (Index 19):
A process for producing a cylindrical target, which comprises the steps of:\n processing a target material into a cylindrical shape; providing, with the target material processed into the cylindrical shape, an adapter for attachment to a sputtering apparatus; and measuring a straightness in a longitudinal direction of an appearance of the target material having the adapter to confirm whether the straightness of the target material having the adapter is within a predetermined range, the target material being made of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of aluminum, silver, copper, titanium, and molybdenum, in which the straightness in the longitudinal direction of the appearance of the target material is measured by using a dial gauge provided at a position in a vicinity of an upper end part of the target material while rotating the target material having the adapter with installing the target material in a vertical direction in a manner of setting an end part having the adapter at the bottom.
