The Semiconductor Market: Opportunities and Threats From both of the perspective of technology or economic development, the importance of semiconductors is enormous. Most of today’s electronic products, such as computers, mobile phones or digital recorders, have a very close relationship with semiconductors. Along with the rapid development, the semiconductor market also faces some challenges. First,...Continue Reading
When it comes to the abbreviation “ITO”, it can stand for International Trade Organization, Involuntary Treatment Order, or Information Technology Outsourcing. But in chemistry, “ITO” refers directly to a crucial chemical material — Indium Tin Oxide. What is Indium Tin Oxide in Chemistry? Indium tin oxide (ITO) is a black-gray ceramic material composed of indium oxide...Continue Reading
The sputtering target is a new type of coating material (compared to evaporation materials) that is critical for thin-film solar cell coatings in the solar industry. Solar cell thin-film coating A thin-film solar cell is a second-generation solar cell that is made by depositing one or more thin layers, or thin film (TF) of photovoltaic...Continue Reading
The crucible is an important vessel for scientific experiments as well as industrial productions. It is a pot that is used to keep metals for melting in a furnace. So furnace crucibles are usually designed to withstand the highest temperatures encountered in the metal casting works, which means the crucible should essentially be made of...Continue Reading
An Overview of Magnetron Sputtering Magnetron sputtering, a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, is a main thin film deposition method for manufacturing semiconductors, disk drives, CDs, and optical devices. Magnetron sputtering has the advantages of high speed, low temperature, and low damage. In this article, let’s take a look at the definition, working principle, and...Continue Reading
What are the Three Generations of Semiconductor Materials? The first generation of semiconductor material The first generation of semiconductor materials mainly refers to silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge) materials. In the 1950s, Ge dominated the semiconductor market and was mainly used in low-voltage, low-frequency, medium-power transistors and photodetectors. However, Ge semiconductor devices were inferior in...Continue Reading
The sputtering target refers to the sputtering source that is deposited on a substrate to form various functional films under appropriate process conditions. Sputtering targets are widely used in many fields such as decoration, tooling, glass, electronic devices, semiconductors, and solar cells. Sputtering targets required in different fields vary. They can be classified into pure...Continue Reading
