Description

A straightforward method of making tungsten targets from tungsten oxide powder on Cu backing is presented. A ceramic crucible containing WO3 powder placed on a copper foil is heated in hydrogen atmosphere at temperatures ranging from 650 up to 850 deg. C. The resulting thickness of tungsten deposited in our trials was in the range of 0.5-3.4 mg/cm2.
