Silicon Aluminum (SiAl) rotatable targets are reactively sputtered to obtain SiN and SiO2 layers. Due to their low index of refraction (~1.48), SiO2 layers are used in reflective and anti-reflective coating systems. Benefits - Recycle program for backing tubes available in U.S.
- Target material of extremely high homogeneity
- Variety of target lengths and thicknesses available
- Compositions beyond SiAl6-16wt% are available
- Recycle program for backing tubes available
- Metallic purities of >99.9% on request
- Targets with customized composition, purity and microstructure available
- Company dedicated to Quality Assurance and ISO 9001:2015 certified procedures.
Applications Low-e Architectural Glass: SiN/SiO2 layers are embedded to protect the IR-reflecting silver layer from corrosion and to optimize the visual characteristics of the glass. SiN is often used as a scratch-resistant top coating due to its density and hardness. Photovoltaic Applications: SiN/SiO2 function as a scratch-resistant layer with anti-reflective characteristics.Information provided by Materion. |
