Discontinued (Discontinued) ST6555 Ytterbium Planar Target

Ytterbium Planar Target Description

Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) offers planar Ytterbium targets made from Ytterbium metal with a purity of 99.9% to 99.99% (3N-4N), suitable for precision thin film deposition. These targets are available in standard diameters (50-200 mm) and thicknesses (3-10 mm) and can be bonded to Copper or Molybdenum backing plates to enhance thermal stability. With their fine-grained microstructure (<50 µm) and high density (>95% of theoretical value), they minimise particle formation and ensure film uniformity. Each target is vacuum-sealed in an Argon-filled package to prevent oxidation. The quality certification includes an ICP-MS contamination analysis and a crystallographic XRD verification. SAM assists its customers in optimising the sputtering parameters (e.g., RF power, gas pressure) and delivers orders worldwide within 3-4 weeks for standard specifications.
