Sputtering is a method of physical vapor deposition (PVD) technologies and is one of the main techniques for preparing electronic thin film materials. It utilizes the ions generated by the ion source to accelerate the aggregation in a high vacuum to form an ion beam with high speed and high energy. The ion beam bombards...Continue Reading
High-purity gold has excellent physical and chemical properties, such as low contact resistance and stability, easy bonding, and easy film formation. By adding other elements, gold can be alloyed to Gold Germanium, Gold Gallium and Gold Beryllium. The flow point of these materials can be changed, and their wettability and adhesion with different materials can...Continue Reading
Sputtering Target Maintenance In order to avoid short circuit and arc initiation caused by the unclean cavity in the sputtering process, it is necessary to remove the accumulated sputtering materials deposited in the middle and on both sides of the sputtering track in stages. It is also helpful for users to continuously sputtering with the...Continue Reading
Introduction In this article, we will explore the unique properties and applications of pyrolytic boron nitride (PBN). Also known as Chemical Vapor-Deposited Boron Nitride (CVD-BN), PBN is a remarkable material that finds use in various industries. Let’s delve into the characteristics and uses of both PBN and its related form, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Pyrolytic Boron Nitride...Continue Reading
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
Metal elements have many applications in mobile phones. And today we tend to mention two important ones–molybdenum and titanium. The main use of tantalum materials in electronic products comes in the creation of the tantalum capacitor; and the main use of molybdenum in mobile phones mainly related to the liquid crystal display coating: using magnetron...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
