Introduction Vacuum evaporation is a process in which a solid material (referred to as the evaporating material) is heated in a high vacuum environment to be deposited on a specific substrate to obtain a film. The vacuum evaporation process is mainly used in microelectronics to make active components, device contacts, and metal interconnections, high precision...Continue Reading

You may be familiar with aluminum but unfamiliar with aluminum sputter targets. But to some extent, they are the same, consisting of atom Al. In a word, the aluminum sputtering target can be considered a product after a series of processes from high-purity aluminum. Aluminum target is a type of sputtering material used mounted on a vacuum...Continue Reading

Definition of ITO Sputtering Target The full name of ITO is indium tin oxide, a composition of indium, tin, and oxygen with different proportions. The substance of ITO and ITO sputtering target is the same, the latter of which is actually a black-gray ceramic semiconductor formed by mixing indium oxide and tin oxide powder in...Continue Reading

Rare-earth element is a general term for 17 elements of lanthanides as well as scandium and yttrium in the chemical periodic table. Scandium and yttrium are included in rare earth element because they are often symbiotic with lanthanide elements in mineral deposits, and thus have similar chemical properties. Rare earth materials are important for many...Continue Reading

Purity Purity is one of the main performance indexes of target materials because the purity of target materials has a great influence on the performance of thin films. However, the purity requirements of target materials are not the same in practical application. For example, with the rapid development of the microelectronics industry, the size of...Continue Reading
