Neodymium Sputtering Target Description

Neodymium

The neodymium sputtering target is made from high-purity neodymium metal. Neodymium, symbolized as “Nd,” is a chemical element named from the Greek words ‘neos didymos,’ meaning new twin. It was first identified in 1885 by A. von Welsbach. With an atomic number of 60, neodymium is located in Period 6 and Group 3 of the periodic table, within the f-block. Its relative atomic mass is 144.242(3) Daltons, with the number in parentheses indicating the measurement’s uncertainty.

FAQ

Sputtering targets are materials used in thin-film deposition processes to create coatings on substrates. They are used in industries like semiconductors, optics, photovoltaics, and electronics.

Evaporation materials are used in Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) processes, where materials are heated and evaporated to form a thin film on a substrate. These are critical for applications in optics, wear protection, and decorative coatings.

Boat crucibles are used as containers for evaporation materials during PVD processes. They help to uniformly evaporate materials onto the substrate for thin film formation.

Sputtering uses energetic particles to eject material from a target, while evaporation involves heating a material until it vaporizes and deposits on a substrate. Both are common methods in Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) for creating thin films.

Consider the material composition, purity, target size, and application-specific requirements such as the thickness and uniformity of the film.
