Zinc Sulfide Sputtering Target Description

A Zinc Sulfide Sputtering Target is a type of ceramic material used in sputtering processes, composed of zinc and sulfur. This target is commonly utilized in various applications, including thin-film deposition and optical coatings, due to its unique properties.

ZincZinc is a chemical element with the symbol “Zn” and an atomic number of 30. The name “zinc” is thought to originate from the German word ‘zinc,’ which may have been derived from the Persian word ‘sing,’ meaning stone. Zinc was utilized by Indian metallurgists as early as 1000 BC. It is positioned in Period 4 and Group 12 of the periodic table, belonging to the d-block of elements. The relative atomic mass of zinc is approximately 65.409 Daltons, with the number in parentheses indicating a margin of uncertainty.

SulfurSulfur, also spelled sulphur, is a chemical element with the symbol “S” and an atomic number of 16. The name “sulfur” originates from either the Sanskrit word ‘sulvere’ or the Latin ‘sulfurium,’ both referring to the element. Sulfur has been known and used by ancient civilizations, including the Chinese and Indians, as early as 2000 BC. It is located in Period 3 and Group 16 of the periodic table, classified under the p-block. The relative atomic mass of sulfur is approximately 32.065 Daltons, with the value in parentheses indicating a margin of uncertainty.

FAQ

It’s the source material (in solid form) used in sputter deposition to eject atoms or molecules that then form a thin film on a substrate.

Targets can be pure metals (e.g., gold, copper, aluminum), ceramics (e.g., Al₂O₃, SiO₂, TiO₂), alloys, or composites—chosen based on the film’s desired properties.

 

They are produced by processes such as melting/casting for metals or sintering (often with hot isostatic pressing) for ceramics and composite targets to ensure high density and purity.

 

In a vacuum chamber, a plasma (typically argon) bombards the target, ejecting atoms that travel and condense on a substrate, forming a thin film.

 

Key factors include the target’s purity, density, grain structure, and the sputtering yield (i.e. how many atoms are ejected per incident ion), as well as operating conditions like power density and gas pressure.

 

Operators monitor target erosion (often by measuring the depth of the eroded “race track”) or track total energy delivered (kilowatt-hours) until it reaches a threshold that can compromise film quality.

 

Fragile materials (such as many ceramics or certain oxides) and precious metals often require a backing plate to improve cooling, mechanical stability, and to allow thinner targets that reduce material costs.

 

DC sputtering is used for conductive targets, while RF sputtering is necessary for insulating targets (like many oxides) because it prevents charge buildup on the target’s surface.

 

In reactive sputtering, a reactive gas (e.g., oxygen or nitrogen) is introduced to form compound films on the substrate, but it may also “poison” the target surface if not carefully controlled.

 

Many manufacturers prefer to control raw material quality by sourcing their own powders; using external powders can risk impurities and inconsistent target properties.

 

Targets should be stored in clean, dry conditions (often in original packaging or re-wrapped in protective materials) and handled with gloves to avoid contamination, ensuring optimal performance during deposition.

Deposition rate depends on factors such as target material and composition, power density, working gas pressure, substrate distance, and the configuration of the sputtering system (e.g., magnetron design).
