Reversing the Effects of CTE Mismatch
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) differences between materials can really cause problems when those materials are rigidly bonded. If you’v...

“The standard process was used as described: The pieces were assembled with a reactive multilayer foil between the aluminum and molybdenum, with...
A traditionally bonded sputtering target experiences a wide range of temperatures over its life cycle. It is bonded at over 200°C – usually ...
Why do we care so much about target bonding? This is important because a sputtering target that truly performs will allow greater process flexibility,...
Whenever two materials with different coefficient of thermal expansion values are bonded together, they will expand and contract as the temperature ch...
In an earlier post I mentioned one of the presentations we gave at the 2013 SVC TechCon. The other presentation that our team delivered at t...
For anyone who couldn’t make it to the 2013 SVC, just email me at jhisert@indium.com and I can make sure you receive a copy of “Eliminatin...
Because I secretly love cheesy blog titles and because I wish I had a better high school senior portrait: At our last thin film tradeshow (as of ...
I have been asked to explain why someone would want to use rotary sputtering targets instead of planar sputtering targets. Certainly there is some exp...
I recently had a discussion with Frank Zimone (VP of Business Development at Angstrom Sciences) about sputtering target utilization. He stressed the p...
