Provided is a cylindrical ceramic sputtering target, which significantly reduces the occurrence of a crack, a chip, extraordinary discharge and a nodule. By filling a molten bonding material in a cavity defined by a cylindrical ceramic target material and a cylindrical base material, starting cooling the molten bonding material from its one end toward its other end in a cylindrical axial direction in sequence, and further filling the molten bonding material in the cavity during cooling, a cylindrical ceramic sputtering target is manufactured so as to be characterized in that as observed by an X-ray radiograph of the bonding material, the total area of portions where no bonding material exists is 10 cm 2 or less per 50 cm 2 of X-ray radiograph area, and the maximum area of the portions where no bonding material exists is 9 cm 2 or less. |
