At Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM), we specialize in manufacturing high-purity sputtering targets and sputter coater targets for a wide range of Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) applications. Our products are essential for creating high-quality, uniform thin films in research and industrial settings.
Sputtering deposition is a cornerstone PVD technology where a solid target material is bombarded by energetic particles (typically ions from a plasma). This process causes atoms from the target to be ejected and deposited as a thin, consistent film onto a substrate, such as a silicon wafer, glass, or even biological samples. This method is renowned for its ability to produce films with excellent adhesion, uniformity, and composition control.
Semiconductor manufacturing and microelectronics
Optical coatings for lenses and displays
Surface engineering for wear and corrosion resistance
Creating conductive layers for solar cells and flat panel displays
Sample preparation for Standard SEM analysis, where coatings of Gold Palladium (AuPd) or Platinum Palladium are applied using a SEM sputter coater to enhance conductivity and image high resolution.
1. Uncompromising Quality and Performance
We understand that the purity and microstructure of a target directly impact thin film quality and sputtering rates. SAM uses only the highest purity raw materials to produce targets with super-fine grain size and homogeneous microstructure. This ensures consistent performance, higher sputtering rates, and a longer target life, providing a reliable and cost-effective alternative for your operations.
2. Extensive Product Portfolio
We offer one of the most comprehensive ranges of sputtering target materials to meet diverse application needs:
3. Customization and Specialized Services
Providing special tailor-made targets for Research and Development (R&D) is our forte. Whether you need a specific sample material, a unique annular target design, or a material not listed in our catalog, our engineering team can work with you to develop the perfect solution.
4. In-House Sputter Target Bonding
To ensure optimal thermal management and performance, we offer professional in-house bonding services, including Indium Metallic Bonding and Epoxy Bonding, compatible with various backing plates.
We are more than just a supplier; we are your technical partner. Our team provides expert support to help you select the ideal target material and configuration for your specific sputter coater, whether it’s from brands like Bio-Rad or BAL-TEC.
