ABSTRACT:
A method for fabricating silicon tiles and silicon tile targets has been provided, such as may be used in the sputter deposition of thin film transistor (TFT) silicon films. The method describes processes of cutting the tiles, beveling the tiles edges, etching the tiles to minimize residual damage caused by cutting the tiles, polishing the tiles to a specified flatness, and attaching the tiles to a backing plate. All these processes are performed with the aim of minimizing contamination and particle formations when the target is used for sputter deposition.
