TLDR
In this paper, a method of producing a valve metal mill form having dimensions sufficient to be divided to form a plurality of sputter targets is described, which includes multidirectional deformation of an ingot to create a mill form with a preferred average grain size of about 100 microns or less.
Abstract
A method of producing a valve metal mill form having dimensions sufficient to be divided to form a plurality of sputter targets is described. The method includes multidirectional deformation of an ingot to form a mill form having a preferred average grain size of about 100 microns or less and/or a texture substantially void of textural bands.
