Product Design and Enhancement
Materion Microelectronics and Services Engineers are available to solve material application challenges and develop best-cost solutions that enable our customers to gain an advantage. Areas of PVD product design and enhancement include (but are not limited to) Xtended Life Targets, Super Fine Grain (SFG™, Vibration Cast Targets (VCT™) and EVAPro™.
Materion Microelectronics and Services’s Xtended Life Target Designs have an established track record with proven performance within the PVD marketplace. Customers can expect between 20-250% increase in target life that translates into significant repeatable savings to your bottom line. Target Designs are available immediately in a variety of configurations and materials or alloys. These designs are unique and proprietary.
Materion Microelectronics and Services recognizes that the development of a fine, uniform and equiaxed grain structure is critical to our customer’s thin film properties. Our R&D team and process engineers design each target manufacturing process to result in a SFT™ grain structure. Using our unique blend of technological capabilities, we can utilize various combinations of casting and thermal mechanical reduction to yield a best in class product. Fine grain size is most commonly developed in a metal through the introduction of mechanical work and the addition of heat to allow recrystallization of the metal into small grains.
Similarly Materion Microelectronics and Services’s VCT (Vibration Cast Targets) improve thin film properties for materials that are extremely brittle. Some alloys, due to their brittle, nature are not able to be processed by traditional metal working techniques without experiencing cracking and material failure. Materion Microelectronics and Services VCT targets provide the solution.
Materion Microelectronics and Services’s EVAPro™ material greatly reduces “splattering” or “spitting” which sometime occur during evaporation. These events are often caused by gaseous entrapments or contamination build up in your evaporation material. The proprietary EVAPro™ process deactivates the tendency for the material to spit and minimizes contamination. This allows higher power deposition, reduced shutter time, improved time to refresh materials and higher yields.
