Ion Beam Sputtering Definition Ion beam sputtering (IBS), or ion beam deposition (IBD), is a thin film deposition technology that uses an ion source to deposit a sputtering target onto a substrate to produce the highest quality films with excellent precision. Compared to other PVD technologies, ion beam sputtering is more accurate and can accurately control...Continue Reading
What is Sputtering Deposition? Sputtering deposition, or sputter coating, is one of the physical vapor deposition technology, whereby particles are ejected from a solid target material due to the bombardment of the target by energetic particles. It is an electronic process that deposits thin films of metals or other materials onto a variety of surfaces. Most often,...Continue Reading
The case A well-known industrial glass company—-We attempted to deposit a silver film about one micron thick on the glass substrate using silver evaporation materials by vacuum evaporation. And our existing coating facilities are limited that we can only use electron beam evaporation. We tried Ag / Ti glass in the beginning, but the silver...Continue Reading
Magnetron sputtering is a physical vapor deposition method that allows the deposition of various materials, including metals, oxides, ceramics and etc. by using a specially formed magnetic field applied to a diode sputtering target. The deposition rate, or the film formation rate, is an important parameter that measures the effectiveness of the magnetron sputtering machine....Continue Reading
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
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
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 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
