Zinc Tin Alloy sputtering targets are metallic alloy targets prepared by alloying zinc (Zn) and tin (Sn) in a specific ratio. This target combines the reactivity of zinc with the stability of tin, making it suitable for depositing transparent conductive oxide (TCO) precursor films, functional alloy coatings, or as specialized plating materials. By adjusting the Zn/Sn ratio or employing reactive sputtering processes, the film properties can be flexibly controlled, offering significant application value in advanced displays, photovoltaics, and protective coatings.
We can customize metal alloy sputtering targets with varying Zn/Sn atomic ratios (e.g., Zn:Sn = 1:1, 2:1) and high purity (≥99.9%) to meet your requirements, offering multiple sizes and bonding services. Contact us for professional technical support.

Q1: What are the primary applications of ZnSn targets?
A1: Key applications include producing transparent conductive films and corrosion-resistant alloy protective coatings. Reactive sputtering enables flexible control over film composition and properties.
Q2: How is the appropriate Zn/Sn ratio determined?
A2: This depends on the target film properties. Specific optimal ratios exist for ZTO (zinc tin oxide) transparent conductive films; for alloy coatings, the ratio can be adjusted based on requirements like corrosion resistance or solderability.
Q3: What precautions should be taken when using and storing the target material?
A3: As this is a metal alloy, store it in a sealed container to prevent moisture and oxidation. Wear gloves during handling to avoid surface contamination that could affect film purity.
Q4: Can non-standard sizes and bonding be customized?
A4: Yes. We support customizing target shapes, dimensions, and thicknesses based on your equipment chamber and process requirements, along with professional backing plate bonding services.、
