Wholesale Alumina target:applied for multiple cutting-edge manufacturing fields Manufacturer, Suppliers

Alumina ceramic targets are sputtering targets made from high-purity alumina (Al₂O₃, with a purity typically ≥99.9%) through powder metallurgy and high-temperature sintering. They are specifically designed for physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes such as magnetron sputtering and pulsed laser deposition. Their exceptional insulating properties, chemical inertness, high hardness, and outstanding optical performance make them critically important in fields such as semiconductor insulation layers, optical coatings, and wear-resistant protection.

Product Description

Film Properties

  • High Insulation The prepared alumina film has extremely high resistivity (>10¹⁴ Ω·cm) and dielectric strength (~10 MV/cm), making it an ideal material for insulation and dielectric layers.
  • High Hardness & Wear Resistance The extremely high hardness of the film (9 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond) can significantly enhance the scratch and wear resistance of the device surface.
  • Excellent Chemical Stability Extremely resistant to most acids, alkalis, and solvents, with excellent corrosion resistance and stability at high temperatures.

Sputtering & Film Formation

  • High Purity & Consistency Ultra-high purity (≥99.9%) and strict composition control ensure stable film performance and avoid electrical or optical defects caused by impurity introduction.
  • Dense & Uniform Film Formation High target density (≥3.6 g/cm³) and uniform grain size enable high-quality film deposition with low defects and good thickness uniformity (inhomogeneity ≤5%).
  • Process Stability The ceramic structure is stable, not prone to cracking or powder loss during long-term sputtering, and has a long service life.

Compatibility & Technology

  • Excellent Thermal Stability The melting point is extremely high (2054°C), and the prepared films can work in high-temperature environments without degradation.
  • Wide Gas Compatibility Sputtering in inert gas (Ar), reactive gas (O₂), or mixed gas environments with a wide process window.
  • Good Adhesion Good adhesion to a wide range of substrates (silicon wafers, glass, metals, etc.) and can be used as a functional or protective layer.
