Silicon (Si) Sputtering
Targets Description
Silicon (Si) Sputtering Target refers to a type of target material used in sputtering processes. Sputtering is a physical vapor deposition technique commonly used in the semiconductor industry to deposit thin films of materials onto a substrate.
Undoped Silicon (Si) Sputtering Targets are made of pure silicon without any intentional dopants or impurities. They provide a high-purity silicon source for deposition processes. These targets are typically used in applications where a pure silicon film is required, such as in the fabrication of integrated circuits, solar cells, optical coatings, and other electronic and semiconductor devices.
Silicon is a chemical element that originated from the Latin ‘silex’ or ‘silicis’, meaning flint. It was first mentioned in 1824 and observed by J. Berzelius. The isolation was later accomplished and announced by J. Berzelius. “Si” is the canonical chemical symbol of silicon. Its atomic number in the periodic table of elements is 14 with a location at Period 3 and Group 14, belonging to the p-block. The relative atomic mass of silicon is 28.0855(3) Dalton, the number in the brackets indicating the uncertainty.

Silicon (Si) Sputtering Targets Handling Notes
- Indium bonding is recommended for Silicon (Si) Sputtering Target, due to some of its characteristics not amenable to sputtering like brittleness, low thermal conductivity, etc.
- This material has a low thermal conductivity, and is susceptible to thermal shock.
