Indium Target Bonding Service

Indium Properties

Indium is a soft metal with a low melting point and excellent thermal and electrical properties, which make it the preferred method for bonding sputtering targets.

Indium Bonding

Indium Bonding Advantages

– Indium has the best thermal conductivity

– Indium bonding is one of the most efficient target bonding services at drawing heat away from the target.

– Indium is more malleable than other bonding solders.

– It reduces cracking that is caused by the mismatch in the thermal expansion coefficients of the target and backing plate
