Abstract

A tantalum or tungsten target-backing plate assembly which comprises a tantalum or tungsten target and a copper alloy backing plate that are subject to diffusion bonding via an aluminum- or aluminum alloy-sheet insert material at least 0.5 mm thick, and which is provided with diffusion bonded interfaces between the respective materials, wherein the assembly suffers only a small deformation after diffusion bonding and is free from separation between the target and the backing plate or from cracking even when the target material and the backing plate differ greatly in thermal expansion, and can survive high power sputtering; and a production method therefor.
