A-1 Sputtering Targets and Vapor Deposition Materials


Delivering high-purity products with both targets and vapor deposition materials.
Precious metal thin films play a role in a variety of industrial fields.
We provide high-purity sputtering targets and vapor deposition materials in shapes and sizes to suit every application.

Targets Manufactured Through Melting, and Vapor Deposition Materials
Features
Provide target materials without pinholes, oxides or gases.
High-purity precious metal vapor deposition materials can be processed into granules, blocks, rods, wires and other forms.
Bonding conditions with the backing plate are assured by inspection with ultrasonic flaw detection.
Precision cleaning of devices, jigs, and reprocessing of recycled precious metals are also available.

*1. High melting point materials, such as Ir and Rh, can be manufactured from an ingot without oxides, gases, holes, etc., by using casting method.
*2. Ru will be manufactured in high-purity vapor deposition material (marbleized). Test sputtering process for selecting composition of target is available.

Applications
Thin film for die-bonding, LED (electrodes), quartz crystals (patterning electrodes), CD-R, DVD, gate electrodes for electronic devices, electrodes for electronic devices and oxide dielectric elements, etc.



Electroformed Targets
Features
Electroformed Targets were developed especially for semiconductor applications. (newly developed product.)
High purity of 5N level is obtainable.
Total impurities of base metals can be lowered below 10ppm.
Gaseous impurities are hardly included.
Column crystal structures growing through thickness with keeping highly orientations. (See Schematic Structure below.)
Relatively finer grain (column) size can be achieved, even in Iridium and Ruthenium which have higher melting points.
Stable sputtering rate can be maintained through the life time.

Types
Ruthenium (Ru)
Purity: 3N~5N (Standard: 3N and 4N.)
Maximum size of 18 inches in diameter can be made.

Applications
FeRAM, D-RAM, MRAM, HDD, etc..
