Sputtering Target
Description
The carbon sputtering target inherits the properties of carbon, a versatile element known for its high thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and chemical stability. With its hexagonal crystal structure, carbon exhibits unique properties, including:
- Durability and thermal resistance.
- Low electrical resistivity, ideal for electronic applications.
- Lustrous black appearance and excellent lubricity.
Carbon, symbolized as “C,” is a tetravalent non-metal with atomic number 6, occurring in various allotropes such as graphite, diamond, and amorphous carbon. SAM’s carbon sputtering targets are engineered for use in high-precision thin film deposition processes.
