A copper alloy sputtering target is formed by a copper alloy including the content of Ca being 0.3 to 1.7% by mass, the total content of Mg and Al being 5 ppm or less by mass, the content of oxygen being 20 ppm or less by mass, and the remainder is Cu and inevitable impurities. A manufacturing method of a copper alloy sputtering target comprises steps of: preparing a copper having purity of 99.99% or more by mass; melting the copper so as to obtain a molten copper; controlling components so as to obtain a molten metal having a predetermined component composition by the addition of Ca having a purity of 98.5% or more by mass into the molten copper and by melting the Ca; casting the molten metal so as to obtain an ingot; and performing stress relieving annealing after performing hot rolling to the ingot.

Copper alloy sputtering target and manufacturing method of copper alloy sputtering target

A copper alloy sputtering target is made of a copper alloy having a composition containing Ca in a range of 0.3 mass % to 1.7 mass % with a remainder of Cu and inevitable impurities, a Ca-segregated phase () in which Ca is segregated is dispersed in a matrix phase, and the Ca-segregated phase contains a Cu-dispersed phase () made of Cu.
