Nickel Sputtering Target Description
Nickel sputtering targets are made from high-purity nickel metal. The element nickel, symbolized as “Ni,” derives its name from the German term ‘kupfernickel,’ meaning either devil’s copper or St. Nicholas’s copper. First mentioned in 1751 by F. Cronstedt, who also successfully isolated it, nickel has an atomic number of 28 and is located in Period 4, Group 10 of the periodic table, within the d-block. Its relative atomic mass is 58.6934(2) Daltons, with the number in parentheses indicating the measurement’s uncertainty.

Nickel Sputtering Target Application
Nickel sputtering targets are widely used in thin film deposition for applications such as decoration, semiconductors, displays, LEDs, and photovoltaic devices. They also play a crucial role in functional coatings, optical information storage, the glass coating industry—including automotive and architectural glass—and optical communications.
Other key applications of nickel include:
- Alloying Element: Nickel is used in stainless steel, alloy steel, non-ferrous metals, and other corrosion-resistant alloys.
- Catalyst: It serves as a catalyst in the hydrogenation of vegetable oils.
- Ceramics Manufacturing: Nickel is used in the production of ceramics.
- AlNiCo Magnets: These are powerful magnets made from aluminum, nickel, and cobalt.
- Batteries: Nickel is essential in rechargeable batteries, such as nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride batteries, commonly used in mobile phones and personal stereo devices.
- High-Purity Nickel Applications: It is used in the electronics and aerospace industries, as well as in chemical and food processing equipment. High-purity nickel is also found in anodes and cathodes, caustic evaporators, and heat shields.
