Manufacturing Processes of Nickel Sputtering Targets

1. Preheat the cast nickel through forging to alter its internal structure, relieving stress and inducing softening. This enhances its plasticity, laying a solid foundation for subsequent forging processes.
2. Forge the preheated cast nickel (with a deformation range of 30% to 60%), shaping it through forging. This process induces deformation, creating nickel ingots that meet the dimensional requirements for subsequent rolling processes.
3. Roughly roll the nickel ingots to produce coarse-rolled nickel sheets. Subject the coarse-rolled nickel sheets to annealing heat treatment, with treatment temperatures ranging from 300 to 800 degrees Celsius and holding times between 2 to 3 hours. Subsequently, immerse the coarse-rolled nickel sheets in ambient temperature water for cooling. After cooling, segment the coarse-rolled nickel sheets and conduct precision rolling to produce nickel sheets.
4. Polish the nickel sheets.
5. Perform grinding and polishing on the polished nickel sheets, creating nickel targets.

The nickel target blank prepared in this way not only has a uniform internal structure, but also has the advantage of fine grains, with an average particle size of <100um.

• Environmental Control: Maintaining stable and clean production environments to prevent external factors from impacting the production process and ensuring consistent Nickel targets quality.
• Documentation and Traceability: Detailed documentation of key parameters and data throughout the entire production process, establishing a traceability system to ensure the traceability of product quality.

3. Quality Assurance

Nickel sputtering targets will undergo inspection by the quality and technical supervision department to ensure that the product quality complies with the specified standards or the terms outlined in the purchase order (contract).

4. Monitoring and Test Equipment Management

• Appearance Inspection: Check the surface of the target material for smoothness, absence of cracks, bubbles, or any visible defects.
• Dimensional Inspection: Measure the target material's dimensions, thickness, and geometric shape to ensure compliance with specified standards and requirements.
• Chemical Analysis: Employ chemical analysis methods like X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF), Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), etc., to confirm that the chemical composition meets the standards.
• Electrical Property Testing: Conduct tests on the target material's electrical properties such as resistivity, conductivity, etc., to verify if they meet the expected performance.
• Structural and Microscopic Observation: Utilize microscopy or Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to observe the internal structure and surface morphology of the target material.
• Optical Property Testing: Perform tests on optical properties like transmittance, reflectance.
