Zusammenfassung:A target, in particular a sputtering target, includes a target plate of a brittle material and a back plate. The back plate is connected to the target plate over an area and the target plate has micro cracks which pass through from the front side to the rear side of the target plate and divide the target plate into adjacent fragments. A process is also provided for producing such a target which is suitable, in particular, for the use of extremely high power densities. A vacuum coating process uses at least one such target as a sputtering target and as a result particularly high power densities can be used on the target during the sputtering.
