Quality, Service, Reliability in the Copper-Indium-Gallium (CIG) Rotary Sputtering Target Market
Our CIG (copper – indium – gallium) sputtering target customers demand many things from us as a vendor. Of course they do! The difference between merely operating and excelling can produce results for...

With a set crucible volume, and run times limited by the amount of evaporation material in the crucible, the density of the material in the crucible becomes important. Any loose form of material will...
Read MoreIndium Sulfide for Thin Film Solar Cells
Here’s an interesting technology fact I just learned: Indium Sulfide was the very first indium compound to be discovered. I bet Reich and Richter (the discovers of indium) never imagined that smelly little compound would be used build solar modules and provide electricity. img alt="" src="//cdn2.content.compendiumblog.com/uploads/user/af12973f-cd7e-4c45-9491-c37a7fb2af13/f257d3c4-c185-4407-a4e9-16920aaabcb7/Image/632527810d9659bfd85c7155f6fa9776/cigs_sem_cross_section.jpg" style="border-width: 5px; border-style:...

CIG Powder
Alloy powders made from copper, indium, and gallium alloys can be used to produce high-efficiency CIGS (copper – indium – gallium – di-selenide) solar cells. Consistent, tightly controlled chemistry throughout the particles enable better control of the resulting solar cell chemistry and morphology.
CIG powder is available in various particle size distributions (PSD) and alloy compositions.
Evaporation Materials
We offer the high quality materials and experienced technical support to help you get the most from your physical vapor deposition (PVD) process.
ITO
ITO is normally deposited by a physical vapor deposition process such as D.C. magnetron sputtering or electron beam deposition. Less frequently, ITO can be incorporated in inks using an appropriate film-forming polymer resin and solvent system, and deposited by screen printing - albeit with lower transparency and conductivity compared to a physical deposition process.
Indium Tin Oxide is available as a powder, but can also be supplied in the form of ITO Targets for sputtering or ITO chunk for thermal evaporation.
