| Abstract |
| Pure Cu compacts were fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) process for sputtering target application. For the fabrication of the Cu compacts, conditions such as temperature, pulse ratio, pressure, and heating rate were optimized during the sintering process. The final sintering temperature required to fabricate the target materials with high density, and the heating rate up to the final temperature, were 800 °C and 80 ℃/min, respectively. The heating directly progressed to 800 °C without any holding time. Sputtering target materials with high relative density of 99.7% were fabricated in a uniaxial pressure range of 60 MPa at a sintering temperature of 800 °C, without any significant change in the grain size. Also, the shrinkage displacement of the Cu target materials was found to considerably increase with increasing pressure at sintering temperatures up to 800 °C. |
