Titanium Sputtering Targets: Shapes and Applications

Titanium Sputtering Targets: Shapes and Applications

Titanium is a widely used material in thin film technology due to its high strength, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with a broad range of substrates. In sputtering, titanium targets are applied to deposit thin metallic films directly, or to form compound films such as titanium nitride (TiN) and titanium dioxide (TiO₂). These coatings are valued...

Copper Sputter Targets: Shapes and Applications

Copper sputter targets are used to deposit thin metal films on various substrates. They are chosen for their electrical and thermal conductivity, ductility, and adhesion properties. Thin films from copper appear in electronics, solar cells, displays, and decorative coatings. The shape and size of the target influence deposition uniformity and material usage. Target Shapes Planar...

Case Study: Improving ITO Target Performance in Mobile and Tablet Display Manufacturing

Introduction One of SAM’s long-term clients—a major display panel manufacturer—was experiencing frequent production disruptions. The culprit: cracking and uneven wear in their ITO sputtering targets, used in the thin-film deposition process for smartphone and tablet displays. After reviewing the setup, SAM proposed switching to denser, more uniform ITO targets. That small change led to significant...
