Aluminum Zinc (Al-Zn) alloy target is a combination of aluminum (Al) and zinc (Zn) used primarily in thin-film applications for its excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and lightweight properties. This alloy target is especially valuable in the electronics, optics, automotive, and aerospace industries, where durable, corrosion-resistant coatings are needed. The alloy’s characteristics can be tailored by adjusting the aluminum-to-zinc ratio to meet specific requirements.
Composition: Aluminum Zinc alloy targets vary in composition, with aluminum typically being the primary component. Common ratios include around 90% Al and 10% Zn, though the specific composition can be adjusted based on the desired balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and other properties.
Purity: High-purity Aluminum Zinc alloy targets (usually 99.9% or higher) are critical in applications such as semiconductor manufacturing, where minimizing impurities is essential to maintain film quality and prevent defects in microelectronic layers.
Structure and Microstructure: Aluminum Zinc targets are manufactured to have a dense, fine-grained structure, providing smooth and uniform deposition. This consistent microstructure is important for achieving high-quality thin films in coatings or electronic applications, ensuring stability and durability.
Corrosion Resistance: One of the most notable features of the Al-Zn alloy is its exceptional resistance to corrosion, especially in marine or moist environments. This property makes it a common choice for protective coatings.
Lightweight Strength: The alloy combines the low weight of aluminum with the strength-enhancing properties of zinc, creating a material that is lightweight yet robust.
Thermal and Electrical Conductivity: The alloy has good thermal and electrical conductivity, making it suitable for applications where these properties are advantageous, such as in electronics.
Electronics: Aluminum Zinc alloy targets are used for creating thin films in electronic components, where lightweight and stable materials are necessary.
Corrosion-Resistant Coatings: Often applied to metals in automotive and aerospace parts, Al-Zn coatings protect against rust and degradation.
Optical Coatings: Due to its reflective properties, the Al-Zn alloy can be used in mirrors, lenses, and optical devices.
Construction and Industrial Applications: Al-Zn coatings serve as protective layers on structural components exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
