Silver Sputtering Target

Silver Sputtering Target
Product Silver Sputtering Target (Ag Target)
Part Number SP47-1
CAS Number 7440-22-4

Silver (Ag) target is made by melting high purity silver ingot. Silver has good ductility, and its conductivity and thermal conductivity are the highest among all metals. Silver material itself has the characteristics of “high reflectivity” and “low resistance”. Simple silver and silver alloy can be used as reflection film, electrode film, wiring film or translucent film (semi permeable film) for the following industries: organic EL display, lighting, touch screen, thin film solar cell, LED (light emitting diode), Low-E glass (building material), optical recording medium (BD, DVD, CD, etc.). Although silver thin films have good properties such as low resistance and high reflectivity, the reflectivity and conductivity will decrease with time due to corrosion and cohesion. Therefore, we can make different kinds of silver alloy with high resistance and durability.

NCE can provide the Silver Sputtering Target with different sizes available on request. The most important advantage of our high purity silver sputtering target is to obtain thin films with excellent conductivity and particle minimization in the process of physical vapor deposition.

Typical Applications:

Silver (Ag) target material is suitable for sputtering and coating field. Silver is often used to make physical instrument components with high sensitivity, various automation devices, rockets, submarines, computers, nuclear devices and communication systems. A large number of contact points in these devices are made of silver. It is widely used in semiconductor chips, MEMS sensors, optoelectronic devices, wide band gap semiconductors, graphene and other industries.
