Introduction Sputtering targets are essential materials used in the deposition of thin films through a process known as sputtering, a cornerstone technique in semiconductor manufacturing and surface coating technologies. Aluminum scandium sputtering targets, consisting of an aluminum alloy with scandium, represent a significant advancement in this field. The addition of scandium to aluminum not only...Continue Reading
The Semiconductor Market: Opportunities and Threats From both of the perspective of technology or economic development, the importance of semiconductors is enormous. Most of today’s electronic products, such as computers, mobile phones or digital recorders, have a very close relationship with semiconductors. Along with the rapid development, the semiconductor market also faces some challenges. First,...Continue Reading
Gold Sputter Target Demand Increases As LED Market Grows The LED industry has grown rapidly over the past decade partially due to the penetration of LED-backlit TVs and laptops. One of the most important functional components of the LED is the LED semiconductor chip. At present, the materials used in the manufacturing of LED chips are...Continue Reading
When it comes to the abbreviation “ITO”, it can be International Trade Organization, Involuntary Treatment Order, or Information Technology Outsourcing. But in chemistry, this abbreviation refers directly to a chemical material—Indium Tin Oxide. What is Indium Tin Oxide in Chemistry? Indium tin oxide (ITO) is a black-gray ceramic material mixed with indium oxide and tin...Continue Reading
The sputtering target is a new type of coating material (compared to evaporation materials) that is critical for thin-film solar cell coatings in the solar industry. Solar cell thin-film coating A thin-film solar cell is a second-generation solar cell that is made by depositing one or more thin layers, or thin film (TF) of photovoltaic...Continue Reading
Introduction to Lanthanum Boride Lanthanum boride, also called lanthanum hexaboride or LaB6, is a compound of rare earth metal element La and nonmetal element B. Its crystal structure is simple cubic, and the B atoms encircle lanthanum atoms to form an octahedral structure. Because of the crystal structure, LaB6 ceramic film made of lanthanum boride...Continue Reading
The titanium sputtering target and the aluminum sputtering target are both the sputtering materials for film coating. The titanium film is a strong, lightweight coating material that is used in many film coating applications. However, because of the price, it is often compared to aluminum film, which is also a very strong film material but...Continue Reading
The crucible is an important vessel for scientific experiments as well as industrial productions. It is a pot that is used to keep metals for melting in a furnace. So furnace crucibles are usually designed to withstand the highest temperatures encountered in the metal casting works, which means the crucible should essentially be made of...Continue Reading
