Description

Molybdenum Niobium Alloy Rotary Target Description

Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) supplies Molybdenum-Niobium (MoNb) alloy rotary targets for thin-film deposition in high-demand environments. The standard alloy contains 90% molybdenum and 10% niobium, combining molybdenum’s thermal and electrical conductivity with niobium’s added mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.

MoNb rotary targets allow for high material utilization (up to 80–90%), which extends target lifespan and reduces production downtime. The uniform grain structure and controlled composition ensure stable sputtering and even coating across large surfaces.

These targets are available in a range of dimensions and can be tailored to fit different sputtering systems. SAM manufactures and inspects each target to meet strict quality and performance standards.
