Abstract

See full text

Provided is a tabular sputtering target on which an erosion portion and a non-erosion portion are formed, and the surface area thereof exceeds 100% but is less than 125% of the surface area when the target is assumed to be planar. Also provided is a tabular sputtering target on which an erosion portion and a non-erosion portion are formed comprising one or more concave portions on the target surface region, and the surface area thereof exceeds 100% but is less than 125% of the surface area when the target is assumed to be planar. An inexpensive, small-capacity power supply unit can be used by minimizing the electrical variations in the sputtering circuit as much as possible throughout the lifespan of the target through self sputtering or high power sputtering.
