abstract = {{Nb₃Sn thin films on bulk Nb cavities exhibit comparable performance to bulk Nb at lower temperatures, and using Cu as a substrate material can further improve performance and reduce costs. However, coating substrates with curved geometries like elliptical cavities can be challenging due to the brittleness of Nb₃Sn targets produced by a classical sintering technique. This work explores the use of the Liquid Tin Diffusion (LTD) technique to produce sputtering targets for 6 GHz elliptical cavities, which allows for the deposition of thick and uniform coatings on Nb substrate, even for complex geometries. The study includes improvements in the LTD process and the production of a single-use LTD target, as well as the characterization of Nb₃Sn films coated by DC magnetron sputtering using these innovative targets.}},
