ーゲット部材に関するものである。The present invention relates to a target member used when a permalloy film for a perpendicular magnetization film, a transfer circuit film for magnetic bubbles, etc. is formed by a sputtering method.
軟磁性のパーマロイ薄膜は通常、真空蒸着法かスパッタ

ット部材の属性が薄膜に転写される比率が大きいといえ
る。The soft magnetic permalloy thin film is usually formed by a vacuum evaporation method or a sputtering method. In the case of vapor deposition, the target member is heated and melted by electron beam, high frequency or resistance heating.
On the other hand, in the case of sputtering, Ar ions normally collide with the target member, and the knocked out atoms grow as a thin film on the substrate. Therefore, it can be said that the ratio of the attribute of the target member transferred to the thin film is higher in the sputtering method.
蒸着法では一度溶解されるため、ターゲット部材に要求
される性質としては、 (1) 溶解したときガス放出が少ない、 (2) 溶湯表面に酸化物が浮上、凝集しない、 (3) 不純物が少ない、 等の冶金上の清浄性が要求される。そのため、蒸着用タ
ーゲット部材においては、材料が鋳造品の状態であるか
加工された状態であるかは大きな問題ではなかった。Since it is once dissolved by the vapor deposition method, the properties required for the target member are (1) little gas emission when dissolved, (2) oxides do not float and do not aggregate on the surface of the melt, (3) few impurities , Metallurgical cleanliness is required. Therefore, in the vapor deposition target member, it did not matter whether the material is a cast product or a processed product.
スパッター用ターゲット部材においても、従来化学組成
上の管理が主で、金属組織的な結晶粒度、結晶繊維組織
と膜質についてあまり関心は払われていなかった。Also in the target member for sputters, the conventional control has been mainly on the chemical composition, and little attention has been paid to the crystal grain size in terms of metallographic structure, crystal fiber structure and film quality.

ター膜の特性に影響するかを調査究明した結果に基づく
ものである。The present invention is based on the result of investigation and investigation as to whether or not the manufacturing process of the target member after melting affects the characteristics of the sputtered film.

晶面から構成原子が飛散する状況が異なるため、膜質の
ムラを生じたと推定される。When a permalloy thin film was formed on a PET film by sputtering, for example, if a target taken by machining from the as-cast state was used, it was difficult to obtain a uniform film thickness in terms of morphology. At the same time, the etching of the target surface is not uniform, and the degree of etching greatly changes for each crystal grain. That is, it is presumed that, in the cast state, the crystal grains are large, such as several millimeters square or more, and the constituent atoms are scattered from the crystal plane submitted to the surface, which causes unevenness in the film quality.
また、上記のような場合放電条件を一定にコントロール
する為に、絶えずモニターをしながら制御する必要があ
り、膜質自体小さい保持力が得られにくいという欠点が
あった。In addition, in the above case, it is necessary to constantly monitor and control the discharge conditions in order to control the discharge conditions at a constant level, and there is a drawback that it is difficult to obtain a holding force with a small film quality.

ターゲット部材を提供するものである。INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention provides a target member for sputtering, which has a uniform film thickness and can easily obtain a low coercive force by controlling the grain size of the metallographic structure when the target member manufacturing method is changed and tested. is there.

る。The present invention is based on the result of studying the composition and manufacturing process of the target member in order to obtain a low coercive force and uniform film thickness (hereinafter referred to as film uniformity) of the Fe-Ni alloy.

に限定した。The composition of the target member of the present invention has a weight ratio of Ni 70
~ 85%, Mo 2-6%, and the balance being substantially Fe, because the composition is Ni less than 70% and more than 85%, soft magnetism is poor,
When Mo is less than 2%, the coercive force is large, and when it exceeds 6%, the saturation magnetization is small. Therefore, Ni 70 to 85%, Mo 2 to 6%
Limited to.

≦T≦TR+400℃の温度Tで焼鈍を行う必要がある。In the case of the present invention, the crystal grains are finer than those in the steel ingot state and finer than those of JIS austenite grain size number No. 3 in order to obtain the uniformity of the sputtered film and the low coercive force. for that reason,
After hot or cold working, the recrystallization temperature When T R, T R
Annealing must be performed at a temperature T of ≤T≤T R + 400 ° C.

を可能とするためにSi、Mn、Mgの1種または2種以上を
含有させるものである。With alloys consisting of Ni 70-85% by weight, Mo 2-6% by weight, and the balance being substantially Fe, the process of delumping steel ingots is not a problem in hot rolling, but flaws occur in hammer delumping. Sometimes. In order to enable not only rolling but also hammering and pressing in hot working, one or more kinds of Si, Mn, and Mg are contained.
すなわち、Siが0.01%未満、Mnが0.1%未満、Mgが0.000
1%未満ではハンマー加工による分塊性が改善されな
い。またSiが2%を越えると飽和磁化が小さくなり、Mn
およびMgがそれぞれ2%、0.02%を越えると保磁力が大
きくなってしまうため、Si 0.01〜2%、Mn 0.1〜2
%、Mg 0.0001〜0.02%と限定した。That is, Si is less than 0.01%, Mn is less than 0.1%, and Mg is 0.000.
If it is less than 1%, the agglomeration property due to hammering is not improved. Also, when Si exceeds 2%, the saturation magnetization becomes small and Mn
And Mg exceed 2% and 0.02%, respectively, the coercive force becomes large, so Si 0.01-2%, Mn 0.1-2
%, Mg 0.0001 to 0.02%.
次にスパッター面の結晶粒度を限定した理由は、結晶粒

力が小さい膜がえられるため、ターゲットのスパッター
される面の結晶粒を結晶粒度番号No.3より細かいものと
限定した。Next, the reason for limiting the crystal grain size on the sputtered surface is that if the crystal grain size is larger than that of JIS austenite grain size number No. 3, the film thickness variation of the sputter film is large and the coercive force is also Hc ≧ 5.
Although the soft magnetism is inferior to [Oe], a film with a smaller coercive force can be obtained if the crystal grains are smaller than that, so the crystal grains on the sputtered surface of the target were limited to those finer than the grain size No. 3.
ここで結晶粒度番号でNo.3より細かいというのはJIS G0
551において、結晶粒が平均断面積で0.0156mm2より小さ
いことを意味する。Here, the grain size number smaller than No. 3 is JIS G0.
In 551, it means that the crystal grains have an average cross-sectional area smaller than 0.0156 mm 2 .

ターゲット部材に加工した。An alloy having a chemical composition shown in Table 1 was melted in a high frequency vacuum induction melting furnace to produce a steel ingot of 4 cm × 9 cm × 20 cm. Next, depending on the lot, the plate thickness is 5 mm and width is 1 by hot rolling or hammering.
A 20 mm plate material was produced, annealed, and then processed into a target member having a diameter of 112 mm.

磁力計で保持力Hcを測定した。Using the target member, a 0.4 μm-thick sputter film was formed on a PET film having a thickness of 45 μm by the RF method, and the holding force Hc was measured by a vibrating magnetometer.

あるとみなされる。According to the present invention, when a base film for perpendicular magnetization or a transfer film of magnetic bubbles is manufactured by a sputtering method using a conventional Permalloy target, local variations in sensitivity due to film non-uniformity and operating speed due to high coercive force It is possible to prevent deterioration and malfunction.
That is, the target member of the present invention brings about uniformity of the sputtered film and low coercive force, and is considered to be very useful industrially.
