Neodymium Sputtering Target

Neodymium (Nd) Sputtering Targets for Thin Film Deposition

Neodymium sputtering targets are made from one of the strongest magnetic rare earth metals. They are used to create thin, uniform coatings for magnetic, optical, and electronic devices through physical vapor deposition (PVD).

At AEM REE, we produce high-purity neodymium sputtering targets with excellent density, stability, and surface quality. Each target is carefully processed to ensure smooth film formation, consistent sputtering performance, and reliable adhesion on various substrate materials.

We offer targets in planar and rotary forms, with customizable sizes and purities up to 99.9% or higher to suit both research and industrial coating systems. Every product is tested, cleaned, and securely packed to ensure safe handling and fast global delivery.

Unique Properties of Neodymium Sputtering Target

Neodymium sputtering targets offer a unique combination of magnetic strength, chemical activity, and stability, making them an important material for thin-film coating in magnetic, optical, and electronic applications.

1. High Magnetic Energy Density

Neodymium provides one of the strongest magnetic forces among rare earth metals, allowing thin films to achieve high magnetic performance in compact device designs.

2. Controlled Electrical and Thermal Conductivity

Balanced electrical and thermal properties support stable sputtering rates and help maintain precise film quality throughout the deposition process.

3. Active Chemical Behavior

Neodymium easily reacts with oxygen, nitrogen, and other gases, making it ideal for producing functional compound films such as magnetic oxides and protective coatings.

4. Excellent Film Adhesion and Uniformity

When used in PVD systems, neodymium targets produce smooth, uniform coatings with reliable bonding strength, helping improve the quality and durability of thin films.

 

Manufacturing Process of Neodymium Sputtering Target

High-purity neodymium ingot is produced using vacuum induction melting (VIM) or electron beam melting (EBM). Each batch is analyzed using GDMS and ICP-MS to ensure purity, chemical consistency, and low impurity levels before processing.

Refined neodymium is cast or machined into preliminary shapes, such as slabs or disks, according to the required target dimensions.

The slabs are hot-forged or hot-rolled to increase density and refine the grain structure. This process removes internal voids and ensures mechanical strength and uniform sputtering behavior.

Targets are precisely machined to meet tight tolerances in thickness, diameter, and flatness, ensuring compatibility with various sputtering systems and stable film deposition.

Final surface finishing and polishing reduce surface roughness to below 2 μm, creating a clean, oxide-free surface that improves sputtering efficiency and film uniformity.

For sputtering systems that require backing plates, neodymium targets can be bonded to copper or molybdenum using indium soldering or diffusion bonding to improve heat transfer and durability.

Each target is inspected for dimensions, flatness, grain structure, and surface quality before shipment. Approved products are vacuum-sealed with desiccant or argon-filled, and each order includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and full quality documentation.
