Types and uses of sputtering targets in the electronic field
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.
