High purity copper or high purity copper alloy sputtering target, method for producing the same, and high purity copper or high purity copper alloy sputtered film

摘要

Provided is a high-purity copper or high-purity copper alloy sputtering target of which the purity is 6N or higher and in which the content of the respective components of P, S, O and C is 1 ppm or less, wherein the number of nonmetal inclusions having a particle size of 0.5µm or more and 20µm or less is 30,000 inclusions/g or less. As a result of using high-purity copper or high-purity copper alloy from which harmful inclusions of P, S, C and O system have been reduced as the raw material and controlling the existence form of nonmetal inclusions, the present invention addresses a reduction in the percent defect of wirings of semiconductor device formed by sputtering a high-purity copper target so as to ensure favorable repeatability.
