The present work focuses on the sintering of the Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4 phase in the form of sputtering targets. The method of manufacture, based on a careful control of the microstructure, is of fundamental importance in ensuring the reliability of Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4 targets and the subsequent realization of high-quality sputter-deposited thin films. In this study the Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4 targets were prepared by a standard solid state reaction technique. We investigated the influence of the thermal treatment on the phase formation by employing X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersion spectrometry (EDS) analyses. As the growth temperature increases beyond the eutectic point, the achievement of a liquid phase yields a homogeneous grain growth. The results presented here are expected to be of particular usefulness in tailoring the growth of high quality thin films. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
