Erbium metal sputtering targets are high-purity rare-earth metal targets used for magnetron sputtering and other thin-film deposition processes. They are suitable for preparing erbium-containing coatings and thin films for applications in optics, photonics, electronics, and semiconductor research.
VIMATERIAL supplies erbium sputtering targets with high purity, uniform composition, consistent density, and controlled microstructure. Target dimensions and configurations can be customised according to sputtering equipment and application requirements. COA documentation is available upon request. Leave a message if you want it.

Erbium is a rare-earth metal with a silver-grey appearance and a hexagonal close-packed crystal structure at room temperature. It is relatively reactive and can oxidise when exposed to air, making appropriate handling and storage important for maintaining surface quality.
Erbium sputtering targets are used to deposit erbium-containing thin films and coatings for applications including optical and photonic materials, laser-related materials, electronic materials, and semiconductor research.
| Application | Typical Use |
| Optical & photonic materials | Deposition of erbium-containing films for optical and photonic components |
| Laser-related materials | Preparation of erbium-containing thin films for specialised laser and photonic research |
| Optical coatings | Thin-film deposition on optical components and functional surfaces |
| Electronic materials | Research and development of erbium-containing functional films |
| Semiconductor research | Material and thin-film development for specialised semiconductor applications |
VIMATERIAL applies process-based quality control to monitor material purity, composition, dimensions, density, surface condition, and product consistency. Quality documentation and COA reports can be provided according to customer requirements.

Packaging: Erbium sputtering targets are vacuum-packed in protective bags, secured with suitable PE packaging, and placed in protective cartons to reduce exposure to air, moisture, and physical impact during transportation and storage.
Storage: Store in a dry, cool, and well-sealed environment, preferably under vacuum or inert-gas protection, and protect the target from moisture, oxidation, and physical impact.
Erbium sputtering targets are used to deposit erbium-containing thin films and coatings by magnetron sputtering and other physical vapour deposition (PVD) processes. Typical applications include optical and photonic materials, optical coatings, electronic materials, and semiconductor research.
Yes. Erbium sputtering targets can be customised in terms of dimensions, shape, configuration, and other specifications according to the sputtering system and application requirements. Drawings or equipment specifications can be provided for confirmation.
Yes. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) can be provided upon request. The available quality documentation depends on the specific material grade and order requirements.
Erbium targets should be stored in a dry, cool, and well-sealed environment, preferably with vacuum or inert-gas protection. Exposure to moisture, air, and physical impact should be minimised to reduce oxidation and surface contamination.
For an accurate quotation, please provide the required purity, target dimensions, shape or configuration, quantity, and application or sputtering equipment information. A technical drawing is recommended for customised targets.
Lead time depends on the required purity, dimensions, configuration, and quantity. In-stock products can be shipped quickly, while standard and customised targets require different production times. Please contact us for the current availability and lead time.
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.
