Development trend of ITO targets

In recent years, with the development of large size flat panel displays, the requirements for the size and density of ITO targets have become higher and higher, and the hot pressing equipment and technology are far from meeting the requirements. Therefore, the production of large-size, high-density ITO targets by sintering has become the focus of...

Have you ever seen all-aluminum furniture?

For many people who just bought a new house, the renovation is indeed a painstaking task. Many people have no idea when choosing decoration materials. Some materials may look great when they are just installed, but they may fade and discolor over time; some materials are prone to moisture and corrosion. Today SAM Sputter Targets...

Application of Titanium and Titanium Alloy in Human Implants

Speaking of titanium, many people may not know what it is, but when it comes to titanium implants, the impression of titanium in our minds suddenly becomes clearer. It has to be said that titanium and titanium alloys become well known because of their use in human implants. At present, no material is more suitable...

What are the uses of magnetron sputtering?

Magnetron sputtering is a kind of physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology. The general sputtering method can be used to prepare a plurality of materials such as metal, semiconductor, insulator, etc., and has the advantages of simple equipment, easy control, large coating area, and strong adhesion. Magnetron sputtering has been developed since the 1970s. In addition...

How to get the high purity tantalum?

Tantalum belongs to the refractory metal group and is widely used as a minor component in alloys. Its chemical properties are excellent, no matter whether it is cold or hot, it does not react with hydrochloric acid, concentrated nitric acid and “Aqua regia”. Its chemical inertness and relatively low price make it a good alternative...

Applications of Copper Plating Technology on TSV and LCD Panels

Copper plating is one of the most widely used pre-plated layers in the electroplating industry, including solder joints, lead-tin alloys, and zinc die-casting parts. Two important applications for copper plating are on TSV and LCD panels. Through Silicon Via (TSV) One developing application for copper plating technology is through-silicon via (TSV) 3D integration. The goal...

Sputter Coating Technologies: Radio Frequency (RF) Sputtering

Today’s article is a follow-up update of “Sputter Coating Technologies: Direct Current (DC) Sputtering“. We have already introduced DC sputtering in detail in that article, so today SAM Sputter Targets will introduce another sputter coating technology, which is called Radio Frequency (RF) sputtering. RF sputtering uses alternate current (AC) power instead of DC power to...
