An Overview of Magnesium Oxide (MgO) Sputtering Targets

In the high-tech era of thin-film deposition, not all materials are equal. Although gold and silver metals are celebrated for their conductivity, emerging ceramics like Magnesium Oxide (MgO) are the quiet workers that enable the next generation of technology. Magnesium Oxide sputtering targets are the raw materials of this technology, providing the source material to...

6 Crucial Aluminum Uses in Daily Life (And Why It’s Everywhere)

Aluminum is everywhere. Cars, foil, power lines, window frames — you name it. It’s lightweight, tough, and incredibly versatile. It makes up around 8% of the Earth’s crust, which makes it the most abundant metal out there. Pretty impressive for a material we barely notice, right? Even more impressive is that it’s 100% recyclable, making it...

Table Comparison: Physical Vapor Deposition Vs. Chemical Vapor Deposition

1. The Core Difference at a Glance Before diving deep, here is the fundamental distinction: PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition): A physical process. A solid material is vaporized in a vacuum and then condenses as a thin film on the substrate. Think of it as transferring material atom-by-atom. CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition): A chemical process. Gaseous precursors react or decompose on the...

Applications of Zinc Oxide Sputtering Targets in Glass Coatings

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...

Everything You Need to Know About Sputtering Targets

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...
