Unique Properties of Europium Sputtering Target

Europium sputtering targets feature high density, uniform film deposition, low particle generation, excellent thermal and electrical stability, and precise compatibility with various sputtering systems, making them ideal for producing high-quality thin films.

1. High Density and Excellent Compactness

Europium sputtering targets reach densities very close to the theoretical value (≈ 9.066 g/cm³) which ensures consistent sputter yield and a steady erosion front.

2. Low Particle Generation and Arc Resistance

With refined microstructure and low porosity, europium sputtering target surface produces fewer particulates during sputtering and reduces arc events—critical for achieving clean thin-film surfaces.

3. Uniform Film Thickness Distribution

Thanks to the homogeneous microstructure and high density, the erosion behavior of europium sputtering target is stable over time, helping deliver uniform film thickness across the substrate.

4. Good Thermal Conductivity and Stability

With a thermal expansion coefficient of ~35 µm/(m·K) and known thermal conductivity, europium sputtering target supports controlled heat dissipation during high-power sputtering, reducing stress and warping.

5. High Electrical Resistivity

With an electrical resistivity of ~107 µΩ·cm, europium sputtering target balances conductivity and stability, enabling reliable sputtering in both DC and RF modes.

6. Strong Oxygen Sensitivity

Europium's high reactivity with oxygen makes it suitable for sputtering in controlled or vacuum atmospheres, allowing precise film composition control in oxide and compound film production.

 

Manufacturing Process of Europium Sputtering Target

High-purity europium metal is melted in a vacuum induction furnace. This process ensures the europium sputtering target material maintains uniform composition and minimizes oxidation—critical for achieving stable sputtering performance.

The solidified europium ingot is carefully shaped by sawing or turning to remove surface oxides and impurities. This step prepares the ingot for further forming, ensuring the europium sputtering target has clean, defect-free raw material.

Through controlled hot forging or rolling, the europium ingot undergoes deformation to increase density and refine the grain structure. This step enhances the mechanical strength and uniformity required for high-efficiency europium sputtering targets.

The forged europium material is annealed in a high-vacuum furnace to eliminate internal stress caused by hot working. This heat treatment stabilizes the europium target's crystal structure, ensuring consistent sputtering erosion and long service life.

Using advanced CNC equipment, the annealed europium blank is precisely machined into the desired target form—circular, rectangular, or custom. This guarantees exact dimensional accuracy and perfect compatibility with different sputtering systems.

The europium sputtering target surface is ground and polished to achieve exceptional flatness and smoothness. This ensures excellent target-to-substrate contact, uniform film deposition, and reduced arcing during sputtering.

Each europium sputtering target undergoes strict testing for density, dimensional accuracy, and surface quality. After passing all inspections, it is vacuum-sealed and packaged in moisture-proof, contamination-free containers for safe global shipment.
