Sputtering targets have important applications in many areas, such as architecture, optics, electronics and so on. Sputtering targets used in electronic industry can be subdivided into semiconductor target (also called anelva target), planar target, coated glass target, solar photovoltaic target, and so on. There are some differences in the selection and performance requirements of sputtering materials in different application fields. Among them, anelva targets, the sputtering targets used in semiconductor integrated circuits, are the most demanding and strict.


The table below shows the main types, uses, and performance requirements for sputtering targets in the electronics field. If it helps you, please share this article with your friends.
