Our high-purity Iron Rotary Sputtering Targets are designed for efficient, large-area deposition of iron films, which serve as the foundation for soft magnetic layers, corrosion-resistant coatings, and alloy precursor films. The rotary design ensures maximum material utilization and excellent film uniformity in high-volume or large-substrate coating processes.

1. A Versatile Workhorse for Functional Films
Iron is a fundamental material in thin-film technology due to its favorable magnetic properties, mechanical strength, and relatively low cost. When deposited via sputtering, iron films can be tailored for diverse functions:
2. Why Choose a Rotary Iron Target?
For applications requiring coverage of large areas (e.g., sheet metal, large batches of parts) or high uniformity on continuous webs, rotary targets are the industrial standard:
3. Purity and Microstructure Matter
For magnetic applications, trace impurities (e.g., C, O, S) can pin domain walls and degrade soft magnetic properties. Our ≥99.95% purity standard minimizes these. Additionally, a fine and uniform grain structure in the target minimizes arcing during sputtering, leading to smoother, lower-defect films.
Each iron rotary target is produced from vacuum-melted stock to control interstitial impurities. Dimensional accuracy (OD, ID, concentricity, straightness) is verified with precision instruments. Chemical analysis via Glow Discharge Mass Spectrometry (GDMS) or Combustion Analysis is performed for critical purity grades, with results provided in the CoA.
