  • Semiconductor Sputtering Targets

    views, Updated: 2021-09-24
    Sputtering targets must meet stricter standards for high-quality ever to produce sub-micron scale and wafer targets in ever-larger sizes.
     
    - Low particle
     
    - Good film uniformity
     
    - High usage efficiency

    Features of Semiconductor Sputtering Targets

    - Low-particle targets
     
    - ULVAC has developed sputtering targets that suppress the generation of particles that can be the source of problems in the sputtering process.
     
    - Gaseous elements are one factor in causing particle emissions, especially in aluminum targets. We are working to lower emissions by utilizing a vacuum melting method for refining and ingot purification processes.
     
    - Attaining high uniformity by adjusting the metal microstructure
     
    - ULVAC uses manufacturing processes that ensure high uniformity and a fine metal microstructure in most of its targets for semiconductor products, including high purity cobalt targets and titanium targets.
     
    - Utilizing a fine metal microstructure with a high degree of uniformity allows uniform magnetic flux leakage on the target surface of high purity cobalt targets.
     
    - Meticulous quality control system
     
    - Integrated process manufacturing at ULVAC takes product characteristics and contours into account during production. Sophisticated analysis/evaluation system such as the GD-MS (glow discharge mass spectrometer) ensures purity and a high level of quality.
