摘要:
A precious metal sputter target has a composition selected from the group consisting of platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, osmium and single-phase alloys thereof. The sputter target's grain structure is at least about 99 percent recrystallized and has a grain size of less than about 200 μm for improving sputter uniformity. The cryogenic method for producing these sputter targets is also effective for improving sputter performance-for silver an gold sputter targets.

The method forms a sputter target assembly by attaching a sputter target to an insert and applying a bond metal layer between the insert and a backing plate. Then pressing the insert and backing plate together forms a solid state bond with the bond metal layer, attaches the insert to the backing plate and forms at least one cooling channel between the insert and the backing plate.

The high-purity aluminum sputter target is at least 99.999 weight percent aluminum and has a grain structure. The grain structure is at least 99 percent recrystallized and has a grain size of less than 200 μm. The method forms high-purity aluminum sputter targets by first cooling a high-purity target blank to a temperature of less than −50 ° C. and then deforming the cooled high-purity target blank introduces intense strain into the high-purity target. After deforming, recrystallizing the grains at a temperature below 200 ° C. forms a target blank having at least 99 percent recrystallized grains. Finally, finishing at a low temperature sufficient to maintain the fine grain size of the high-purity target blank forms a finished sputter target.

A network compatible user interface system and method are presented for supporting navigation through patient medical information. The system comprises a communication processor for acquiring a patient group identifier allocated to a grouping of patients and for acquiring medical information associated with the patients. A display generator operates to generate a composite display window incorporating a first window including the patient group identifier and a list of patients in the grouping and a second window for displaying different medical information corresponding to different medical applications. The different medical information is associated with patients within the patient grouping. A display navigation processor maintains the first window display while displaying different medical information in the second window in response to user navigation between the different applications.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for digital audio encoding. A method of digital encoding includes receiving an audio source having multiple stems, and generating an enhanced audio wave file from the audio source. Generating can include routing each of the multiple stems to an individual channel in a specific format, compressing each individual channel, passing each individual channel through a limiter, passing each individual channel through an equalizer, and passing each individual channel through a phase shifter. Generating can include time aligning each individual channel, sound modeling each individual channel, and modifying an amplitude of each individual channel, processing each individual channel for sound design, movement and automation, and digitally mixing the multiple channels. Generating can include normalizing and compressing the digitally mixed multi-channel sound recording.

Provided is a method of manufacturing sputter target assemblies, and the products thereof. The method includes manufacturing a backing plate, the backing plate having a planar top surface and a cylindrical recess therein. Then a near final shape target insert having a frusta-conical rear surface that corresponds to the cylindrical recess of the backing plate and a front surface is manufactured. The target insert has a yield strength greater than that of the backing plate, and a height greater than the depth of the cylindrical recess in the backing plate. Thereafter, the target insert is hot pressed into the cylindrical recess of the backing plate to a state of plastic deformation so as to diffusion bond the target insert to the backing plate and form the target assembly. The target insert protrudes above the planar front surface of the backing plate.

A method of manufacturing a sputter target is provided which comprises mixing aluminum and at least one other metallic powder to form a powder blend, compressing said powder blend under significant force to achieve a pressed blank having a packing density of at least 50% of the theoretical density, heating the blank at a temperature less then the temperature which would form greater than an average of 25% inter-metallic phases in the blank under the conditions employed, rolling the blank to obtain at least 95% of the theoretical thickness of the blank, and bonding the blank to a suitable substrate. Also provided is a sputter target made from this method.

The present invention relates to novel and improved high purity diffusion bonded copper (Cu) sputtering targets having a Cu purity level of 99.9999% (6N) or greater. The target assemblies of the present invention exhibit sufficient bond strength and microstructural homogeneity, both of which are properties previously considered mutually exclusive for conventional 6N Cu target assemblies. The grain structure is characterized by an absence of alloying elements and the bonded interface is generally flat without any type of interlayer or interlocking arrangement.
