Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method to reduce thermal stresses in a sputter target during sputtering. The method provides the following steps providing a target holder, applying a target material comprising indium-tin-oxide on the target holder by spraying and introducing pores in the target material while applying the target material on the target holder. These pores leading to a porosity of at least 2% in the sprayed target material to reduce thermal stresses. The invention further relates to a sputter target having reduced thermal stresses and to a process for coating a substrate surface with indium-tin-oxide.
