Sputtering targets are composed of various materials, depending on the specific application and desired thin-film properties. The choice of material can significantly affect the performance and characteristics of the final product. Below are the main types of sputtering targets used across industries:
Ensuring that the sputtering target has the correct dimensions and shape is essential for proper integration into the sputtering system. Any deviation from the specified size can affect the uniformity of the sputtering process or even lead to equipment malfunction.
In PVD, atoms are ejected from a solid target material due to the bombardment of high-energy ions, and these atoms then deposit onto a substrate, forming a thin film. The “target” in sputtering target refers to the material that is “hit” or bombarded during deposition.
Magnetic Materials: Magnetic sputtering targets, such as iron (Fe) and nickel-iron (NiFe), are commonly used in data storage applications, helping to create the magnetic layers used in hard drives and other memory devices.
Proper maintenance, handling, and storage of sputtering targets are equally important to ensure longevity and consistent performance, minimizing the risk of contamination or damage. As a leading supplier of sputtering targets, Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) offers a wide range of high-quality sputtering targets for various industries.
One of the most important considerations when choosing a sputtering target is its purity. High-purity targets are essential for producing high-quality coatings, as impurities can cause significant issues during the deposition process.
