About our rare earth metal sputter targets
Rare earth metal sputtering targets are made by pure rare earth elements or their alloys. Sometimes we also supply our customers with custom or standard rare earth alloy sputtering targets, such as Scandium Aluminum. We have all non-radioactive rare earth elements (Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tb, Yb, Lu) sputtering targets as presented below. These targets are made by rare earth metal raw materials with stable quality. We provide the best available commercial purity targets and maintain competitive price for common purity as well.

Rare earth element introduction
Rare earth (REs) elements are a group of seventeen chemical elements found in the Earth's crust. Despite their name, they are relatively abundant in nature, but their distribution is often geographically concentrated, making them economically valuable. The group includes elements such as lanthanum, cerium, neodymium, and europium, among others.
REs possess unique physical and chemical properties that make them crucial in various technological applications. They exhibit exceptional magnetic, luminescent, and catalytic properties, contributing to their widespread use in electronics, renewable energy, automotive technologies, and more. For instance, neodymium is a key component in high-strength magnets used in electric motors, wind turbines, and hybrid vehicles. Lanthanum and cerium are utilized in catalysts for automotive emissions control systems, while europium and terbium are essential for producing vibrant colors in display technologies.
Due to their strategic importance, the supply and demand of REs have geopolitical implications. Efforts are being made to diversify sources and improve recycling technologies to ensure their sustainable availability.
