Material & Engineering Overview

High-purity Nickel-Chromium (NiCr 80/20) (NiCr (80:20 / 60:40 / 50:50 wt%), CAS 11106-97-1) 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.

Unlike pure nickel, Nichrome 80:20 wt% is non-magnetic at room temperature, allowing thick standard targets (3–6.35 mm) on conventional magnetrons! Each Nickel-Chromium (NiCr 80/20) 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.

Standard Shipment Documentation: Manufacturer Lot COA (GDMS or ICP-OES trace metallic impurity assay in ppm for NiCr (80:20 / 60:40 / 50:50 wt%), bulk density), dimensional inspection, and indium-bond check if bonded.

What to Specify in Your Quote Request

Specify Nickel-Chromium (NiCr 80/20) purity grade (3N5 (99.95%) / 4N), target diameter and thickness (e.g., Ø 2.00" × 0.125" or 0.250"), flat edge vs. stepped clamp lip, magnetron gun model, and whether monolithic or indium-bonded to an OFHC copper backing plate is required.

Include target quantity, destination country/postal code for express air freight calculation, and any special cleanroom bagging or certification requests.

Technical & Procurement FAQ

What purity grade of Nickel-Chromium (NiCr 80/20) (NiCr (80:20 / 60:40 / 50:50 wt%)) sputtering target should I select?
Standard 3N5 (99.95%) purity suits general metallization, hard coatings, and adhesion/barrier layers, while higher 4N5–5N grades are recommended for active semiconductor junctions, low-resistivity interconnects, and quantum/optical research.
Should my Nickel-Chromium (NiCr 80/20) sputtering target be bonded to a copper backing plate?
Unlike pure nickel, Nichrome 80:20 wt% is non-magnetic at room temperature, allowing thick standard targets (3–6.35 mm) on conventional magnetrons! Bonding with metallic indium to an OFHC copper backing plate is recommended for brittle compositions, thin discs, or high-power-density runs (keep cooling water at 18–22 °C so the indium bond stays below 120 °C).
What batch certification ships with TB-PVD-NICR?
Every Nickel-Chromium (NiCr 80/20) target ships vacuum-sealed in an argon/moisture barrier bag accompanied by the producing mill's lot Certificate of Analysis reporting elemental purity and trace metallic impurities in ppm.
