Vacuum-melted high-purity nickel (Ni, CAS 7440-02-0) planar magnetron sputtering targets in 4N (99.99%) / 4N5 (99.995%) / 5N grades for semiconductor, optical, and research PVD.
High-purity nickel (Ni, CAS 7440-02-0) 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.
Ferromagnetic note: Standard magnetron cathodes require 1.0–2.0 mm thin Ni targets (or Ni-7wt%V non-magnetic alloy) so magnetic flux passes into the plasma. Each nickel 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.
