A nonmagnetic material particle-dispersed ferromagnetic material sputtering target comprising a mixture of an alloy containing 5 mol % or more and 20 mol % or less of Cr, 5 mol % or more and 30 mol % or less of Pt, and Co as the remainder thereof, and nonmagnetic material particles, wherein the structure of the target includes a phase (A) in which the nonmagnetic material particles are uniformly micro-dispersed in the alloy, and a spherical alloy phase (B) dispersed in the phase (A) in which the ratio of its volume in the target is 4% or more and 40% or less. Obtained is a nonmagnetic material particle-dispersed ferromagnetic material sputtering target capable of improving the leakage magnetic flux to obtain a stable electrical discharge with a magnetron sputtering device, and which has high density and generates few particles during sputtering. |
