Sputtering targets

Sputtering targets are solid material sources used in a process called sputtering, where atoms are ejected from the target surface by energetic particles, usually with plasma. These ejected atoms then deposit onto a substrate, forming thin films for electronics, solar cells, or coatings. Targets are typically made of metals, ceramics, or alloys and are designed to withstand repeated use. Their properties directly influence the quality and composition of the resulting film, making their material purity and consistency crucial for high-performance applications.
