^94mTc was produced via ^natMo(p, xn)^94mTc reaction. Deposition of MoO₃ on Cu substrate was carried out via two special sedimentation methods for the production of ^94mTc. The 533 mg of MoO₃, 600 µL of collodium (nitrocellulose) and 3 mL of acetone were used to prepare a MoO₃ layer of 11.69 cm² and 45.81 mg·cm^-2. Also, a MoO₃ layer was prepared by 533 mg of MoO₃, 71.188 mg of methylcellulose and 4 mL of water. The targets were checked by SEM and thermal shock test.
