Tungsten Sputtering Target

Tungsten sputtering targets are made of high-purity tungsten metal, which is usually fragile and difficult to process. If tungsten is made into a very pure material, it can maintain its hardness (more than that of many steels), and it has enough ductility to make it easy to process. It is processed by forging, stretching or extrusion. Tungsten objects are also usually formed by sintering.

Products Description

 

Pure tungsten sputtering targets are metal targets with high melting point, high density and high purity, which are widely used in semiconductors, optical coatings, nuclear industry and wear-resistant films.


Our high-purity tungsten sputtering targets are made of high-purity (usually above 99.95%) tungsten and are specially used as discs or rectangular blocks as source materials in the sputtering coating process.

 

Its high purity ensures that the final film has an extremely low impurity content, which is especially important for applications that require high precision and high performance. In addition, high-purity tungsten also has an excellent melting point, good thermal stability and mechanical strength, which makes it an ideal choice for applications in high-temperature environments.

Common types of Pure tungsten sputtering targets


Pure tungsten targets: used for high melting point, high density films, such as semiconductor barrier layers and X-ray targets.
Alloy targets: such as W-Ti (diffusion barrier layers for integrated circuits) and W-Re (to improve high temperature strength).
Compound targets: such as tungsten carbide (WC, superhard coating) and tungsten oxide (WO₃, electrochromic film).

 

Manufacturing process of Pure tungsten sputtering targets


Powder metallurgy: High purity tungsten powder is formed by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) or hot pressing sintering to improve density.
Smelting method: Electron beam melting (EBM) is used for ultra-high purity tungsten targets, but the cost is relatively high.
Machining: Tungsten has high hardness and requires precision machining with diamond tools (common thickness 3-10mm, diameter 1-8 inches).
Binding: Usually combined with copper or molybdenum backplanes to improve heat dissipation (tungsten has good thermal conductivity but is brittle).

 

 

Main applications of Pure tungsten sputtering targets


(1) Semiconductors and microelectronics
Diffusion barrier: W or W-Ti films are used in copper interconnect processes to prevent Cu from diffusing into the silicon substrate.
Gate material: Replaces polysilicon and reduces resistance (such as DRAM capacitors).

(2) Optical and display technology
X-ray target: Tungsten's high atomic number (Z=74) makes it an ideal material for X-ray tube anodes.
Electrochromic film: Tungsten oxide (WO₃) is used for smart windows and anti-glare rearview mirrors.

(3) Wear-resistant and protective coatings
Tungsten carbide (WC) coating: Surface hardening of tools and molds.
Nuclear fusion device: Tungsten is used as plasma facing material (PFM) to resist high-temperature plasma erosion.

(4) Scientific research field
Superconducting material: Tungsten film is used to study quantum phenomena under extreme conditions.
High-energy physics: Radiation shielding layer in particle detectors.
