Indium Sputtering Target, In
Average rating:  
 3 reviews
by Elena Rossi on Indium Sputtering Target, In

The indium target performed well in sputtering for photovoltaic cells. Deposition uniformity was high, with minimal particle generation, which is critical for our semiconductor line.

by Hiroshi Nakamura on Indium Sputtering Target, In

Our team has been using SAM’s indium sputtering targets in OLED and LED coating processes for the past six months. The 99.999% purity grade made a noticeable difference in reducing contamination, and the resulting films were stable with excellent adhesion. The wetting properties on copper were particularly helpful for our bonding applications. We ordered a 3″ custom disc, and the machining tolerance was within spec.

by Lisa Brown on Indium Sputtering Target, In

My professor recommended this company because it provides experimental materials of high purity. I am very satisfied with SAM's products and will continue to support SAM in the future.
