Graphite Target
Graphite (C) sputtering targets are widely used in the Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process for depositing thin carbon films onto substrates. Graphite targets are characterized by high temperature resistance, self-lubrication, corrosion resistance, and good electrical conductivity. When using graphite as a target material, different materials are used depending on the industry.
The sputtering process involves bombarding a target with high-energy plasma ions, which strips atoms from the surface of the target and deposits them on the substrate to form a thin film. Graphite sputtering targets are made from high-purity graphite material and come in a variety of shapes and sizes, such as discs, rectangular tiles and custom shapes.
Graphite sputtering targets are very durable and provide consistent, high quality films in the PVD process. They offer excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, good adhesion to the substrate, and high hardness for use in high-temperature, high-pressure environments.
Sputtering Target for Thin Film Deposition
Sputtering is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process where atoms are ejected from the surface of a material when it is bombarded by high-energy particles. In sputtering deposition, a controlled gas, typically inert argon, is introduced into a vacuum chamber. A cathode is then electrically energized to create a self-sustaining plasma. The surface of the cathode that is exposed is known as the sputtering target.
Sputtering targets are usually solid pieces that come in various sizes and shapes. These targets can be made from pure metals, alloys, or compounds such as oxides or nitrides. The substrate, which is the object to be coated, can be a semiconductor wafer, a solar cell, an optical component, or many other types of materials. The thickness of the coatings typically ranges from angstroms to microns. The thin film can consist of a single material or multiple materials in a layered structure.
