Praseodymium Sputtering Target

Praseodymium (Pr) Sputtering Targets for Thin Film Deposition

Praseodymium Sputtering Targets are made from high-purity praseodymium metal and used to create thin coatings with special magnetic, optical, and catalytic properties. The material has a dense and uniform structure, giving it strong heat resistance, magnetic response, and protection against corrosion.

Praseodymium targets are often used in optical coatings, magnetic storage layers, and electronic components. During sputtering, the targets provide smooth film growth, accurate composition, and steady deposition rates, ensuring reliable results in both research and mass production.

At AEM REE, we produce praseodymium sputtering targets under vacuum-controlled conditions and test every batch with GDMS and ICP-MS to confirm high purity. We also provide custom manufacturing in different shapes, sizes, and thicknesses, with optional backing plate bonding to match your equipment needs.

Unique Properties of Praseodymium Sputtering Target

Praseodymium sputtering targets combine strong magnetic properties, excellent heat resistance, corrosion protection, and catalytic activity, making them ideal for creating high-quality thin films used in magnetic, optical, and energy applications.

1. Strong Magnetic Responsiveness

Praseodymium shows excellent magnetic behavior among rare-earth metals, making it valuable for creating thin films used in magnetic storage and sensing devices.

2. High Thermal Stability

Its stable crystal structure allows reliable performance under high sputtering temperatures, preventing deformation or composition change during long deposition runs.

3. Excellent Corrosion Resistance

The dense and uniform surface resists oxidation and corrosion in controlled sputtering atmospheres, helping maintain purity and consistent coating quality.

4. Catalytic Reactivity

The element's ability to bond with oxygen ions gives it strong catalytic performance, ideal for forming oxide layers used in energy conversion and environmental films.

 

Manufacturing Process of Praseodymium Sputtering Target

High-purity praseodymium ingots are produced using vacuum induction melting (VIM) or electron beam melting (EBM) to remove impurities and ensure chemical uniformity. Each batch is tested with GDMS and ICP-MS to confirm purity, chemical consistency, and low impurity levels before further processing.

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

The formed 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 machined with tight tolerances in diameter, thickness, and flatness to meet exact customer and equipment requirements. Accurate machining ensures stable sputtering rates and compatibility with various coating systems.

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.

When needed, praseodymium targets can be bonded to copper or molybdenum backing plates using indium soldering or diffusion bonding.

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.
