Applications

Electronics: Ytterbium thin films formed by the use of ytterbium sputtering targets in the manufacture of electronic devices can effectively optimise the performance of semiconductor components and significantly improve the stability and operating speed of integrated circuits.

Optical field: Used in optical coating, the thin film sputtered by ytterbium sputtering target can enhance the anti-reflection and transmittance properties of optical lenses, and significantly improve the imaging quality of optical instruments.

Magnetism: used in the preparation of magnetic materials, to help develop high-performance magnetic films, for magnetic storage and magnetic sensors and other cutting-edge technologies to provide strong support.

Energy field: In the manufacturing process of solar cells and battery electrodes, the materials sputtered by ytterbium sputtering targets can effectively improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and battery charging and discharging performance, and further improve the efficiency of energy use.

Quality Control

Our products are manufactured under a strict quality assurance system that adheres to the highest standards throughout the entire process, from research and development, production to shipping and customer service, carefully managing each step of the process. Any deviations or non-conformities are investigated in depth in strict accordance with 8D problem solving procedures, while maintaining complete documentation and batch traceability to ensure the reliability of product quality.

Packaging and Storage

Ytterbium sputtering targets are packed in double vacuum bags and reinforced with soft foam protective cartons/crate to ensure maximum transport safety.

Ytterbium sputtering targets should be stored in a room temperature environment, the general temperature range of 15 ℃ -35 ℃ is appropriate, the storage environment also requires clean, no dust, oil and other pollutants, so as not to contaminate the target.
