REDUCE THE COSTS FOR LARGE AREA COATING OPERATIONS

Compared to standard planar configurations, our rotatable sputtering targets greatly increase material utilization for thin film deposition of large areas. This savings is especially valuable for photovoltaic and solar power applications as well as reflective coatings in mirrors and high temperature coatings.

WORLD LEADING PRODUCER OF THIN FILM DEPOSITION MATERIALS

Materion, now expanded with the acquisition of Heraeus target business, delivers:

Broad range of highly engineered precious metal and non-precious metal rotatable sputtering targets as well as innovative alloys or ceramics developed specifically for your application
High purity materials with optimized microstructure for complete coverage
Materials with consistent quality for extended product life
Customization capability to match appropriate materials for highest performance

CYLINDRICAL TARGETS OFFER THESE ADVANTAGES OVER PLANAR

Rotatable sputtering targets increase run time and are more cost-effective for high volume processes for large area coating. Available in a range of precious and non-precious metals as well as ceramic and inorganic targets with customized chemistries.

Larger erosion zones that provide 2 to 2.5 times the material utilization
Longer target life that reduces frequency of downtime for change-outs and chamber maintenance
Custom manufacturing in monolithic, segmented or thermal spray formats
End features that are precision machined for individual cathode system designs

SUPPORTING PHOTOVOLTAIC AND SOLAR POWER APPLICATIONS

Materion supports the photovoltaic and solar power industry as well as high temperature and reflective coating applications with rotatable sputtering targets as well as multiple materials including:

Ability to supply materials to any size operation from R&D to full-scale production
