Application of Sputtering Target

In recent years, with the rapid development of coating technology, the market demand for sputtering targets is growing. At this time, some friends have questions: what are the applications of sputtering targets? Here is a detailed summary for you.

1、 Application of Sputtering Target in Decorative Coating

Decorative coating mainly refers to the surface coating of mobile phones, watches, glasses, sanitary wares, hardware parts and other products. It not only beautifies the color, but also has the functions of wear resistance and corrosion resistance. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, more and more daily necessities are required to be decorative coated, so the demand for decorative coating targets is growing. The main target materials for decorative coating include: chromium (Cr) target, titanium (Ti) target, chromium (R) target, nickel (Ni) target, tungsten (W) target, titanium aluminum (TiAl) target, stainless steel target, etc.

2、 Application of Sputtering Target in Glass Coating

The application of target materials on glass is mainly to make low radiation coated glass, that is, to sputter multilayer films on glass using the principle of magnetron sputtering, so as to achieve the functions of energy conservation, light control and decoration. Low radiation coated glass is also known as energy-saving glass. In recent years, with the increasing demand for energy conservation and emission reduction and improving people's quality of life, traditional building glass is gradually being replaced by energy-saving glass. It is driven by this market demand that almost all large glass deep processing enterprises are rapidly increasing the production line of coating broken glass. Correspondingly, the demand for target materials for coating is growing rapidly. The main target materials include: silver (Ag) target, Cr target, Ti target, nickel chromium (NiCr) target, zinc tin (area nSn) target, silicon aluminum (SiAl) target, titanium oxide (TixOy) target, etc.

Another important application of target materials on glass is the preparation of automotive rear-view mirrors, mainly chromium targets, aluminum targets, titanium oxide targets, etc. With the continuous improvement of the requirements for the quality of automotive rear-view mirrors, many enterprises have switched from the original aluminum plating process to vacuum sputtering chromium plating process.

3、 Application of Sputtering Target in Tool and Mold Coating

Tool and mould coating is mainly used for surface strengthening of tools and moulds, which can significantly improve the service life of tools and moulds and the quality of machined parts. In recent years, driven by the development of aerospace and automobile industries, the technical level and production efficiency of the global manufacturing industry have made great progress, and the demand for high-performance tools and molds is increasing. At present, the global mold coating market is mainly in Europe, America and Japan. According to statistics, the coating proportion of machining tools in developed countries has exceeded 90%. The proportion of tool coating in China is also increasing, and the demand for target materials for tool coating is growing. The main varieties of target materials for tool and die coating are: TiAl target, chromium aluminum (CrAl) target, cr target, Ti target, etc.

4、 Application of Sputtering Target in Information Storage Industry

At present, the products used for computer storage technology include:

1. Hard disk read-write head;

2. Optical disc (CD2R, CD, DVD);

3. Magneto-optical - phase change optical disc (MO, CD2RW, DVD2RAM);

The manufacture of these data storage products requires the use of high-quality targets with special crystallinity and special components, such as cobalt, chromium, carbon, nickel iron, precious metals, rare metals, media materials, etc.

5、 Application of target materials in LCD industry

The manufacturing process of LCD is relatively complex, in which the lower reflective layer, transparent electrode, emitter and cathode, grid, etc. are formed by sputtering method, so the emission target still plays an important role in the LCD industry.

6、 Solar cell coating

With the decrease of traditional petrochemical raw materials, the world has turned its attention to renewable energy. At present, solar cells have developed to the third generation. The first generation is single crystal Bang solar cells, the second generation is amorphous silicon and polycrystalline silicon solar cells, and the third generation is thin film solar cells (represented by copper sawn selenium [CIGS]), and the sputtering coating process is the preferred preparation method.

The rise of the global low-carbon economy has provided a broad prospect for the development of new raw materials and new materials. All major target suppliers around the world regard the target for solar cell coating as an important R&D product. Solar cell coating is growing in an explosive way. The main target materials for solar cell coating include: zinc aluminum oxide (AZO) target, zinc oxide Zn0 target, zinc aluminum (ZnA) target, molybdenum (Mo) target, cadmium sulfide (CdS) target, copper indium gallium selenium (CulnGaSe), etc.
