Abstract
A Mn-containing copper alloy sputtering target is provided. The target generates a small number of particles and is used to form diffusion inhibiting films and seed films of interconnects of semiconductor devices simultaneously. The target is a Mn-containing copper alloy sputtering target that generates few particles, comprising a copper alloy containing 0.6 to 30 mass % of Mn with the balance consisting of copper and impurities, wherein the impurities are controlled to include a total of 40 ppm or less of metallic impurities, 10 ppm or less of oxygen, 5 ppm or less of nitrogen, 5 ppm or less of hydrogen, and 10 ppm or less of carbon.
