All About Aluminum Sputtering Targets

Aluminum sputtering targets are used extensively in the aerospace, automotive lighting, and optical industries due to their excellent electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and reflective properties. A good understanding of aluminum sputtering target manufacturing processes and specifications is essential for quality assurance and efficiency in applications. With cleaner production methods and careful selection, it is possible to procure high-quality, pure aluminum sputtering targets, which enhance the overall performance of the thin films they help create. You must consider several factors when buying aluminum sputtering targets, including grain size, purity, and price. The semiconductor industry uses aluminum sputtering targets to create conductive layers in chips and circuitry. Sputtering targets provide a way to apply a thin material layer onto a substrate —...

Maintaining Purity during Processing and Alloying

In order to maintain purity and prevent contamination during processing, our 5N and purer grades are processed in directional solidification in vacuum which strictly maintains the cleanliness of the resulting purity metal without any risk of contamination. We can supply 5N (99.999%), 5N5 (99.9995%), 6N (99.9999%), and 6N5 (99.99995%) MBE grade, as well as related alloys from this process in a variety of shapes and sizes.  When the 4N Purity is upgrading to 5N and higher purities, the initial shape produced is rod, either in 150 or 180 mm diameters, although for larger orders, we can supply 310 and 480 mm diameters as well. All other products, such as disks, foil, pellets, plate, rod, sheet, and slabs would be further processed from this...
