Introduction to Indium Bonding Target bonding is a significant process that joins sputtering targets and backing plates together, yet improper bonding materials would lead to poor heat release, cracking, non-uniform deposition, and even de-bonding. Therefore, it is quite essential to have a basic understanding of the functions, benefits, and types of bonding in advance. This...Continue Reading
Introduction With the development of electronic devices, people pay more and more attention to wafers, chips, semiconductors, and integrated circuits. Everyone is trying to figure out the essence of chips. Their mind is full of questions. What is a wafer? What is a chip? What about their relations? What materials do we use to make...Continue Reading

1. Introduction to Sputtering Target Selection The target quality is rather significant for the coating process, and targets’ features are affected by a variety of parameters like purity, density, porosity, grain sizes, shapes, etc. The better the target quality is, the better performance we have, and the firmer the coating layers are. Here we will...Continue Reading
Infrared reflectors are important components in solar thermal systems. They can enhance the performance, such as corrosion resistance, of solar selective coatings at high temperatures. Zirconium sputtering target is one of the emerging materials used to manufacture infrared reflectors, and it has many advantages over others. Read this article for more information. 1. The Solar Thermal System A...Continue Reading
What is a Mirror Made Of? Mirrors are objects that reflect images. People have been making mirrors with stone, metals, and glass for thousands of years. Generally, a mirror is composed of transparent glass and a thin coating on the back. The layer on the back is both protective and functional. On one hand, it...Continue Reading
Introduction to the Bismuth Sputtering Target What is a bismuth sputtering target? A bismuth sputtering target is a pure metal sputter target for film deposition. This product could be used to make thin films for multiple sectors, including semiconductors, glass coatings, LED, solar cells, and optical industries. Properties of bismuth target Bismuth (atomic symbol: Bi, atomic number: 83) is located in Period 6, Group 15, and...Continue Reading
Aluminum (Al) belongs to the main Group 13 (III, or boron group) of the periodic table. The Latin term alumen, which refers to potash alum or aluminum potassium sulfate, KAl(SO4)212H2O, is where the name aluminum originates. Aluminum is a light silvery white metal and the most common non-ferrous metal. Aluminum never appears in nature in the...Continue Reading
Why Tungsten is Used for Furnace Heating The decision to use a particular material for heating is a function of the temperature range and conditions the material can tolerate. High-temperature furnaces must be capable of withstanding temperatures that melt materials like titanium. These furnaces, which are typically built of graphite, usually produce reactive carbon pollution...Continue Reading
