Zinc Oxide (ZnO) sputtering targets are a key material utilized during the deposition process known as magnetron sputtering. In the process, high-energy ions strike the target and eject zinc oxide atoms. The ejected atoms deposit themselves on substrates such as glass, forming a thin yet strong film. These Zinc Oxide films have been greatly helpful...Continue Reading

1. Introduction to Sputtering Targets Sputtering targets are significant commodities for thin-film industries like electronics, optics, and energy sectors. Simply put, a “sputtering target” is the target material utilized for sputtering, a form of physical vapor deposition (PVD). During the PVD process, atoms from a solid target are removed and ejected upon impact by high-energy...Continue Reading

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...Continue Reading

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...Continue Reading

Back in 2019, we published a guide comparing platinum and gold rings. It quickly became one of our most-read articles, helping readers make informed choices about their wedding jewelry. But times have changed — and so have the reasons behind choosing one metal over the other. If you’re shopping in 2025, here’s what actually matters....Continue Reading

Introduction The semiconductor industry is driving the technological revolution, fueling the progress of electronics, computing, and communications. As performance demands rise and chip dimensions continue to be reduced, the material employed for their manufacture must conform to increasingly stringent specifications. High-purity zirconium sputtering targets have become a flagship material for the industry, making it possible to form high-quality metal oxide thin films, gate material, as well as metal interconnect layers. This article...Continue Reading
