Products Description
Our aluminum copper sputtering target has high hardness, tensile strength and light weight, It is perfect for a number of industries and applications. It has usually 1-3% copper content and has the similar chemical properties with aluminum.
Aluminum copper sputtering target is usually silvery white and has a metallic luster.They are widely used in semiconductor integrated circuits (VLSI), optical discs, flat panel displays, and workpiece surface coatings. In addition, aluminum copper alloys are widely used in seawater cooling systems, papermaking, printing and textile industries, food industries, heat exchangers, automotive industries, and seawater pipeline systems in desalination plants due to their excellent corrosion resistance.
Besides, AlCu has high mechanical properties, excellent machinability, and high-temperature suitability, so it could be the suitable material for high performance Aluminum alloy.
High purity AlCu alloy sputtering target could be used in a broad range of industrial fields from semiconductor and electronic functional components. With 5N high purity, uniform grain size, lower oxygen content, end user can obtain constant erosion rates as well as high purity and homogeneous thin film coating during PVD process.
