A method for affixing an RFID tag to sputtering targets is disclosed. A cavity is formed on the back of the backing plate adjacent to the outer edge. Within the cavity, an RFID tag is secured with an encapsulant. The encapsulant is cured with the RFID tag capable of communicating with an associated reader through the encapsulant.
