Precious metal sputtering targets are used in the vacuum coating process to manufacture products in a variety of industries including aerospace, automotive, glass, medical devices, semiconductors and more.
If you are looking for more details, kindly visit our website.
Companies using precious metal sputter targets for thin film applications range in size from Global Fortune 500 corporations to small businesses, startups and divisions of multinational companies with unique specialties. Materials Science and Engineering faculty at Universities also use gold, silver, platinum and palladium sputtering targets in graduate and undergraduate research and development.
Large area silver sputtering targets are common in the glass industry to manufacture Low-E Glass which reduces heating and cooling costs of buildings. Gold sputtering targets are used in aerospace to coat visors of astronauts, windows of spacecraft and more. Precious metal targets are used in diabetes test strips and other medical devices and are found in a variety of automotive and aviation electronics, semiconductors, solar panels and emerging zero-carbon technologies. Precious metal sputter targets and the vacuum coating process in general play an essential role in a new generation of innovative products.
Question: Are there any special procedures I need to follow before use sputtering target?
Answer: Most ceramic targets benefit from being bonded to a backing plate to increase target cooling. In addition, the target must be conditioned prior to depositing films from it.
Question: How do I find the mass or weight of a circular sputtering target (measurements in millimeters)?
Answer: Mass (m) = Pi x (D/20)2 x (T/10) x Density; where D = Diameter (millimeters), T = Thickness/Length (millimeters), Density (grams/cm3)
Question: How do I find the mass or weight of a circular sputtering target (measurements in inches)?
Answer: Mass (m) = Pi x (2.54D/2)2 x 2.54T x Density; where D = Diameter (inches), T = Thickness/Length (inches), Density (grams/cm3)

Question: How do I find the mass or weight of a rectangular sputtering target (millimeters)?
Answer: Mass (m) = L/10 x W/10 x T/10 x Density; where L = Length (millimeters), W = Width (millimeters), T = Thickness (millimeters), Density (grams/cm3)
Question: What types of sputtering targets do you recommend bonding to a backing plate?
Answer: Ceramic or inorganic compund targets because of fragility and poor heat transfer. Also, precious metal targets so a thinner target can be purchased.
Question: How do I clean oil-covered sputtering targets?
Answer: Sputtering targets that react with air or water vapor are protected during storage and shipment by immersion in a low viscosity (hydrocarbon) mineral oil. Before the material can be installed in a vacuum system, this oil must be completely removed using solvents that do not act as additional contamination sources for the vacuum system or the subsequent thin-film processes.
