Additional materials are also available from Materion Corporation for the magnetic data storage market; contact Materion Corporation  for more information.

We produce our specialty magnetic and non-magnetic alloys for GMR/TMR/CPP-GMR heads, LMR/PMR media and MRAM technology in a wide array of shapes and sizes to meet the requirements of virtually all deposition equipment. Targets are produced via vacuum induction melting or with our advanced Hybrid™ processing techniques for powder consolidation.

Materials are highly characterized in our analytical lab, with special attention paid to grain size, homogeneity, gaseous and metallic impurities, pass through flux and bulk compositional tolerances.

Sputtering Targets and Thin Film Materials

Materion Corporation continually strives to provide innovative product solutions. We are a leading sputtering target supplier to the hard disk drive (HDD) market, and the largest supplier to the thin film recording head market.

Together, with TFH (thin film heads) makers, we’re developing new materials enabling next generation GMR, TMR and CPP-GMR thin film heads. Our Xtended Life ™ target designs, metallurgical product improvements and cost of ownership solutions assist TFH makers in increasing areal density while lowering overall costs.

We have also extended our scope and product development into the magnetic media segment of HDD market. Due to our unique, in-house precious metal manufacturing and refining services capabilities, we now offer the magnetic media market a fully integrated source for magnetic media sputtering targets.

With precious and non-precious metal sputtering targets and precious metal management programs, we support present day longitudinal magnetic recording (LMR) and future perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) formats.
