The target is one of the key issues of isotope separation on line (ISOL) facilities. SPES, now under development at LNL-INFN, is an innovative ISOL facility possessing a target chatacterized by seven separate uranium dicarbide thin disks. The research on the materials development and target prototyping is discussed in the following.
