Problems solved by technology

In recent years, the domestic demand for high-purity tantalum-silicon alloy sputtering targets has increased significantly. On the one hand, domestically produced tantalum-silicon alloy sputtering targets have low density and cannot meet the quality requirements of the high-end electronics industry for sputtering targets. Requirements are only applicable to low-end products. On the other hand, only a few developed countries and regions such as Japan and the United States can produce high-purity and high-density tantalum-silicon alloy sputtering targets, and the production technology is monopolized by foreign countries. Costs remain high for the microelectronics industry
[0006] At present, the prior art has disclosed a method for preparing a tantalum-silicon alloy sputtering target by hot isostatic pressing. For example, CN110952064A discloses a tantalum-silicon alloy sputtering target and its preparation method. , mold loading, cold isostatic pressing, degassing treatment, hot isostatic pressing and machining at 1050-1350 °C, and then a tantalum-silicon alloy sputtering target with a density of more than 99% can be obtained, but the preparation The method not only has a long process and cumbersome operation, but also has the disadvantages of high energy consumption and high cost. It has not effectively reduced the cost of the microelectronics industry and is not suitable for large-scale promotion.
[0007] In addition, the prior art discloses some methods for preparing sputtering targets by hot pressing and sintering. For example, CN108754436A discloses a method for preparing high-purity tantalum-ruthenium alloy targets by vacuum hot pressing Sintering technology, including crushing, ball milling, mixing, mold preparation, mold loading and vibration, temperature rise and pressure, heat preservation, sampling, machining, and then prepared to obtain a density of 10.65 ~ 13.08g / cm 3 High-purity tantalum-ruthenium alloy target, but the preparation method is not only cumbersome to operate, but also not suitable for the preparation of tantalum-silicon alloy sputtering target, because the tantalum-silicon alloy sputtering target is extremely sensitive to temperature during the densification process, and cannot copy existing technology
