Sputtering and laser ablation are both physical vapor deposition (PVD) techniques that are used to deposit thin films onto a substrate.
The target material and format is chosen based on:
- Equipment being used
- Compatibility with substrate
- Acceptable level of impurities
- End application and properties required
- Reactivity
- Melting point
- Cost
- Availability
- Handling requirements
PI-KEM provides an extensive choice of targets for sputtering and laser ablation, which are available as standard or custom manufacture, in an array of purities, materials and sizes.
