Sputter target, method of manufacture of same and sputter coating process using the target as a sputtering source are disclosed. The sputter target comprises an Me/Si multi-phase, consolidated blend wherein the Si component is present in a very small amount of about trace-0.99 mole Si:1 mole Me. Preferably, Me comprises one or more of Ta, Ti, Mo, or W. The targets are made from the requisite powders via HIP consolidation to provide densities of greater than 98 % of the theoretical density. The targets are especially useful in reactive cathodic sputtering systems employing N2 as the reactive gas to form amorphous Me/Si/N layers.
