Lutetium Sputtering Target

Lutetium is the heaviest lanthanide element in the rare earth family. It has unique nuclear properties and optical characteristics, and plays an irreplaceable role in nuclear medicine, scintillator materials and quantum technology. Lutetium sputtering target is a metal target made of high-purity Lutetium (Lu) metal. It has a melting point of 1663°C, a boiling point of 3395°C, and a density of 9.84g/cm3. 

The preparation process of pure lutetium sputtering targets requires precise control to ensure the purity and uniformity of the target material. These targets are usually made by processes such as powder metallurgy, hot isostatic pressing or melt casting. During the sputtering process, the surface of the lutetium target is bombarded by ions, causing lutetium atoms to be sputtered out and deposited on the substrate to form a thin film. Due to the high cost and processing difficulty of lutetium, pure lutetium sputtering targets are usually used in applications with extremely high material performance requirements.
