High-Purity Copper Sputtering Targets – Square (4N-6N)
High Purity Copper Sputtering Target – Process & Quality Assurance Statement
Our square copper sputtering targets are manufactured to the exacting standards required for reliable thin-film deposition in advanced coating processes.
Production follows a tightly controlled vacuum-based workflow to maintain ultra-high purity and material consistency:
●Raw Material Selection: Only certified electrolytic copper cathodes (≥99.99%) are used as starting material.
●Vacuum Melting: Induction melting under high vacuum or inert atmosphere minimizes oxygen pickup and volatile impurities.
●Casting & Refining: Controlled directional solidification produces ingots with homogeneous composition and minimal segregation.
●Hot Working: Forging or hot pressing achieves near-theoretical density and refined grain structure.
●Precision Machining: CNC milling and grinding produce accurate square dimensions with flat, parallel surfaces.
●Surface Finishing: Multi-step polishing delivers mirror-like finish suitable for cleanroom use.
●Optional Bonding: Indium or elastomer bonding to molybdenum/copper backing plates available for thermal management.
●Final Cleaning & Packaging: Ultrasonic cleaning in ultra-pure water, followed by vacuum sealing in double-layer clean bags.
Quality Control System
● Full traceability from raw cathode lot to finished target
● Material certificates and test reports supplied with every shipment
● Retention of archive samples ≥3 years for third-party verification (SGS, BV, etc.)
● 100% inspection of critical parameters:
• Purity and impurities (GDMS/ICP-MS analysis; typical oxygen <10 ppm)
• Density measurement (Archimedes method; ≥99.5%)
• Grain size and microstructure (metallographic examination)
• Dimensional accuracy (CMM; flatness ≤0.05mm typical)
• Surface roughness and defects (profilometer + visual inspection)
● Internal specifications exceed ASTM F68 requirements. Typical properties: Thermal conductivity >390 W/m·K, Electrical resistivity <1.7 μΩ·cm, Consistent sputtering rate and film quality.
● Cleanroom-compatible processes and ISO 9001:2015 certified facility ensure every target meets the demanding needs of modern PVD applications.
