Molybdenum Target

The requirements for molybdenum targets are significantly more stringent than those of conventional material industries. These requirements entail aspects including size, flatness, purity, content of impurities, density, N/O/C/S levels, grain size, and defect control. Even more rigorous or specialized requirements include surface roughness, resistance values, uniformity of grain size, composition and microstructure, foreign matter (oxide) content and size, magnetic permeability, ultra-high density, ultra-fine grains, among others.


Magnetron sputtering coating is a newly developed physical vapor deposition technique that utilizes an electron gun system to focus and emit electrons onto the plated material. By following the momentum exchange principle, atoms are ejected out of the target surface with high kinetic energy and settle onto the substrate to form a film. The material used for the plating process is called sputtering target, which can be made from different materials such as metals, alloys, and ceramic compounds.

Operating Principle of Molybdenum Target

Molybdenum targets are used in the production of thin films through the process of magnetron sputtering. This process involves bombarding a metallic target with high-energy ions, which eject atoms from the target surface. These ejected atoms then deposit onto a substrate to form a thin film.


The operating principle of a molybdenum target involves setting up a vacuum environment where the target is placed in a chamber opposite a substrate. The target is typically made of molybdenum, as it is a refractory metal that has excellent thermal and chemical stability.


Once the vacuum is established, a gas such as argon is introduced to the chamber and ionized by a magnetron sputtering source. The ionized gas is accelerated toward the molybdenum target, which causes atoms to be ejected from the surface. These ejected atoms then fly toward and deposit on the substrate to form an ultra-thin film.


The thickness and properties of the thin film can be controlled by adjusting the process parameters such as power, pressure, and gas flow rate. Molybdenum targets can be used to produce thin films in a variety of applications, from semiconductors to solar cells and medical devices.
