The main goal of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) research is to realize that the energy released by fusion reaction is greater than the threshold value of ignition fusion reaction in the laboratory. A series of key physical problems must be explored deeply for the purpose. In ICF, the capability of target fabrication is particularly important, and the quality of target is the pivotal element of physical experiment. This paper expounds the progress of ICF target preparation in recent years, such as capsule of new ablation material, new technology of capsule support, new material and shape of hohlraums, and reduction of filler tube dimensions. Combining with the physical requirements of ICF, it introduces the development trend of ICF target briefly.
