Lutetium Planar Target Description

SAM’s lutetium planar targets are produced from lutetium metal with purity ranging from 99.9% to 99.99% (3N-4N). These targets come in diameters (50-200 mm) and thicknesses (3-10 mm). Custom bonding options (e.g., Cu backing plates) and fine-grained structures (<50 µm) ensure consistent sputtering and thermal stability. Each target is vacuum-sealed in argon-filled containers to prevent oxidation and undergoes XRD crystallography and ICP-MS impurity analysis, meeting ASTM F3091 standards. Technical support is provided, including sputtering parameter advice (e.g., DC power ranges), and rapid delivery (3-4 weeks).

Lutetium Planar Target FAQs

Q1: What purity grades are available for lutetium targets?
A1: SAM provides a 99.9% (3N) purity grade, with trace impurity data included in Certificates of Analysis (CoA).

Q2: Can I request custom target dimensions or bonding configurations?
A2: Yes. Custom diameters (50-200 mm), thicknesses (3-10 mm), and bonded backings (e.g., Cu, Mo) are available. Submit specifications for fast prototyping.

Q3: How is oxidation prevented during storage and shipping?
A3: Targets are vacuum-sealed in argon-filled containers with desiccant packs. After delivery, storage in dry inert gas (Ar/N₂) is recommended.
