Materion supplies sputtering targets for large area coatings. Achieving optimal results during the deposition process requires targets capable of consistently producing uniform thin films and quality materials that meet or exceed industry standards. Our high-purity Nickel-Chromium (NiCr) sputtering targets are specifically developed to produce low defect and high performance thin films. Applications: NiCr layers are often used in low-e or solar control layer stacks. Their purpose is to mostly act as the oxidation barrier for the silver layer, but they can also be used as the absorbing layer in specific sun protection coatings. Since NiCr layers are generally sputtered as extremely thin layers (2-5 nm), perfect thickness homogeneity is necessary. Thus, the target materials must also be of extremely high homogeneity.
