Alumina-doped Zinc Oxide

Alumina-doped Zinc Oxide (AZO) tube targets are tubular sputtering targets with Aluminium-doped Zinc Oxide as the main component. Due to the unique physical and chemical properties of AZO, the main applications are in the fields of optoelectronics and energy.

We offer customised products and target binding services, and VIMATERIAL’s products are characterised by flexible packaging, low minimum order quantities (MOQs), and sufficient stocks. We also offer a comprehensive after-sales service and a professional technical team, please contact us.

Applications

Preparation of transparent conductive films: Transparent conductive films obtained by sputtering Alumina-doped Zinc Oxide tube targets are widely used in optoelectronic devices such as flat panel displays, touch panels and organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Its excellent conductivity and optical transparency can not only effectively reduce the resistance of the device and improve the electron mobility, but also significantly improve the image clarity and colour saturation of the display panel, which is an alternative to the traditional indium tin oxide (ITO) material.

Solar cell manufacturing: In the field of solar cells, AZO film can be used as transparent conductive electrode or window layer material. On the one hand, it can efficiently collect photogenerated carriers and improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery; on the other hand, its good chemical stability helps to extend the service life of the battery, reduce the production cost, and promote the development of the solar photovoltaic industry.

Energy-saving glass for construction: In the construction field, AZO film can be applied to the preparation of energy-saving glass. By sputtering AZO film on the glass surface, it can achieve effective control of solar radiation, which not only ensures indoor lighting, but also blocks excessive heat from entering the room, reduces building energy consumption, and achieves the purpose of energy saving and environmental protection.

Quality control

Our products follow a strict and comprehensive quality assurance system. Composition ratios, density uniformity, hardness consistency, surface flatness and roughness are strictly monitored. Detailed records of the entire production process are archived to achieve full process traceability for each batch of product.

Packaging and Storage

Alumina-doped Zinc Oxide  tube targets are professionally vacuum-protected packaged in customised wooden crates and filled with cushioning material to ensure that they are protected from impacts and moisture during transportation.

Alumina-doped Zinc Oxide  tube targets should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated environment, where the temperature and humidity should be kept within a suitable range. Keep away from acid, alkali and other corrosive substances as well as strong oxidants, avoid contact with moisture and harmful gases to prevent chemical reaction and affect the performance of the target material.
