8 Tailor-made sputtering targets Customized materials in individual shapes FHR is offering upon request all kinds of target materials, optionally bonded to specially designed backing plates. We deliver materials, matched in their quality parameters in an optimal way to the requirements of the purposed thin-film application. We provide sputtering targets with individual dimensions up to 4,000 mm. FHR boasts many years of experience in making bonded sputtering targets. A metallic bonding method which was developed in-house is widely used for this. This method ensures an electrically and thermally conductive, reliable and firm connection of sputtering target and cooling plate while minimising air or gas voids. Depending on the material combination and sputtering process actually used, FHR also employs other bonding techniques which allow the bonds to be optimised as regards their mechanical and electric properties and thermal conductivity. FHR is offering the bonding of planar-shaped targets as well as rotary cylindrical targets. Designed and proved for customers individual needs The company s comprehensive services also include development of customized designs for sputtering targets and backing plates as well as testing of sputtering targets in a performance test station. You benefit from our long-standing experience in engineering of professional sputtering systems. The optimum joining method for any application Free selection of thin-film materials Metallic bonding Depending on the demands made on the thermal and mechanical stability of the target compound, various metallic alloys can be used as filler materials. Epoxy resin bonding The parts are joined by an epoxy resin which contains powder of a conductive material. Elastomer bonding An elastomer is used as a filler material, optional with a conductive additive. This bonding method is particularly suited for target compounds which are subject to great mechanical forces, but where electric and thermal conductivity plays a minor role. NanoBond method The target compound is joined with the help of a nano-reactive foil at room temperature. This method allows target compounds to be made of materials with extremely different thermal expansion coefficients. Further, any target shapes can be realised without bonding gaps, even with brittle materials. Photovoltaic & Solar thermal Mo, CuGa, In, TCO, Si, Al, Cr, Ti...
