Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) supplies high-purity Zinc (Zn) Sputtering Targets for thin film deposition applications requiring reliable conductive layers. Zinc targets are widely used in the production of transparent conductive oxides (TCOs), particularly for display panels, photovoltaic cells, and optoelectronic devices. Our Zn targets are vacuum melted and precision machined to achieve fine grain structure and >99% relative density, supporting consistent DC sputtering performance and uniform film deposition. Available in standard disc geometries or custom configurations, with copper bonding options for optimised thermal management.

FAQ

Q: What purity zinc target do I need for solar cell applications?

A: For the majority of photovoltaic applications (CIGS, perovskite, CdTe), we recommend 99.99% (4N) purity or higher. Lower purity may introduce impurities that affect carrier mobility and reduce cell efficiency.

Q: What is AZO and why is it important?

A: AZO (Aluminium-doped Zinc Oxide) is a transparent conductive oxide created by co-sputtering zinc with aluminium. It is increasingly used as a lower-cost alternative to ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) in displays and solar cells. If you are planning to manufacture AZO films, please inform us and we can recommend the appropriate target configuration.

Q: Do zinc targets oxidize during storage?

A: Zinc can form a thin oxide layer when exposed to air. That is why we vacuum-seal all our zinc targets immediately after cleaning. Store them in the sealed packaging until ready to use, and consider a brief pre-sputter burn-in to remove any surface oxide.

Q: What sputtering method works best for zinc?

A: Zinc is conductive, so DC sputtering is effective. For pure Zn films, DC is advised. For reactive sputtering (producing ZnO or AZO), RF or pulsed DC with oxygen gas is generally used.

Q: Can you provide a target with controlled grain size?

A: Yes, we can control grain size during the manufacturing process. A fine grain size (<100 μm) is recommended for most sputtering applications to ensure uniform erosion. Please specify your requirement when ordering.

Q: Do you offer aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) targets?

A: Yes, we offer AZO targets with various doping concentrations (typically 1-3% Al₂O₃). Please contact us with your specific requirements.
