target thickness

The following table provides recommended target thickness values (in inches and millimeters) for non-magnetic and magnetic targets (Ni used as an example) for our Standard, Magnetic Stage I, Magnetic Stage II, UHV Standard, and UHV Magnetic circular magnetrons.
 
For materials that are more coercive than Nickel, the recommended thickness will decrease in proportion to the relative coercivity. Similarly, thicker targets of less coercive materials can be sputtered.
 
Angstrom Sciences rectangular magnetrons are designed with application-specific magnetics. That's why it's important that we thoroughly understand your requirements. Our "application questionnaire" available on our web site or via fax, has been designed for this purpose.
