The Chromium Selenide (CrSe) Target is a high-performance ceramic compound that merges the durable physical characteristics of chromium with the semiconducting nature of selenium. Manufactured using advanced techniques like hot pressing or vacuum sintering, the CrSe target achieves high density and low porosity, ensuring consistent erosion rates and uniform film quality during the sputtering process. With a melting point of 1500 °C, CrSe demonstrates excellent thermal stability, making it suitable for high-power deposition environments without significant material degradation. Additionally, CrSe maintains structural integrity in both inert and reactive atmospheres, exhibits stable electrical behavior, and responds well to magnetic fields. Its fine, homogeneous microstructure supports the formation of smooth, defect-free thin films across diverse substrates.
