In recent years, more and more large
area and glass coating manufacturing, especially web coatings and architectural glass and flat panel displays, have changed to rotatable sputtering target technologies.
Rotatable targets have significant advantages over planar targets.
- There are more types of target materials that can be made into rotatable sputtering targets than planar targets.
- Rotatable targets have greater target material utilization. This can increase production time and reduce production and system downtime. A significant benefit is that it increases the production of production and coating equipment.
- Rotatable sputtering targets generally allow for the use of higher power densities because the accumulation of heat is evenly spread over the surface area of the target. This improves deposition rate and improves performance during most reactive sputtering processes and runs.
- Rotary targets can be custom-made for use in monolithic, segmented or thermal spray applications.
Nowadays, rotatable target technology has been widely used
in large-area coating manufacturing of architectural glass, flat panel
displays, solar photovoltaic and decorative coating. They are very friendly to
the decorative film which ensures scratch resistance and decorative colorful
finishes of a hard coating on mobile phones, jewelry, watches, eyewear,
automotive decoration, domestic appliances, sanitary wares, hardware, etc.
It is
mainly applied in the following industry:
Large Area Glass Coating
Display Industry
Wear Resistant Coating
Optical Coating
Semi-conductive, Micro-electronics
In large-area coating, the shape design of the target mainly affects the utilization of the target, and the reasonable size design can improve the utilization of the target. In addition to the shape of the target, the smaller the grain size, the faster the rate of coating is, and the better the uniformity of the film is. The higher the purity and the density, the less the porosity is, the better the film formation quality is, and the lower the probability of discharging the slag is. In general, the quality of the target has a significant impact on the quality of the film.
