First Claim
Patent Images
1. A process for producing sputtering targets, which comprises molding a mixture of a powder of a high-melting substance having a melting point of 900°
- C. or above with a powder of a low-melting metal having a melting point of 700°
C. or below at a temperature below the melting point of the low-melting metal under heat and pressure, wherein the heating temperature is lower than the melting point of the low-melting metal by at most 50°
C. and the pressure is not higher than 500 kgf/cm2, and wherein the powder of the low-melting metal is of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of In and Sn, wherein the mixture contains from 20 to 95 volume % of the powder of the low-melting metal and the target has a relative density of at least 90%.
