Vacuum-melted high-purity Rare-Earth metal (la, ce, gd, nd, er, yb) (La / Ce / Gd / Nd / Er / Yb, CAS 7439-91-0) planar magnetron sputtering targets in 3N (99.9%) / 3N5 (99.95%) / 4N (REM basis) grades for semiconductor, optical, and research PVD.
High-purity Rare-Earth metal (la, ce, gd, nd, er, yb) (La / Ce / Gd / Nd / Er / Yb, CAS 7439-91-0) planar sputtering targets are consolidated by vacuum melting or hot isostatic pressing and thermomechanically processed to achieve fine, equiaxed microstructure and ≥99.5%–100% relative density. Controlled grain uniformity and ultra-low dissolved gas content (O, N, H, C) ensure stable DC, pulsed-DC, RF, and HiPIMS plasma impedance with minimal droplet or particle generation across the target erosion track.
We supply the full lanthanide series (La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu) as planar sputtering targets sealed in argon/vacuum foil bags. Each Rare-Earth metal (la, ce, gd, nd, er, yb) target is precision-machined to fit 1-inch (25.4 mm), 2-inch (50.8 mm), 3-inch (76.2 mm), 4-inch (100/101.6 mm), or custom rectangular magnetron cathodes, supplied monolithic or indium-bonded to an OFHC copper backing plate, and vacuum-sealed with a batch GDMS or ICP-OES Certificate of Analysis.
