Abstract
The invention includes an aluminum-comprising physical vapor deposition target bonded to an aluminum-comprising backing plate to a bond strength of greater than 10,000 pounds/in . The invention also includes a method of bonding a first aluminum-comprising mass to a second aluminum-comprising mass. The first aluminum-comprising mass has a first surface, and the second aluminum-comprising mass has a second surface. The first and second masses are pressed together to bond the first mass to the second mass. Additionally, the invention includes a method of bonding a physical vapor deposition target material to a backing plate material. The target material and backing plate material are joined in physical contact with one another. The target material and backing plate material are then compressed under a load that progresses sequentially.
