Scandium sputtering target introdcution
The scandium (sc) content in the earth's crust is not negligible. however, owing to its widespread dispersion in various low-concentration ores, extracting it is challenging. despite industrial applications dating back to the 1990s, scandium remains one of the most expensive commercially available metals.The addition of scandium to aluminum alloys can noticeably reduce the size of metal crystals, enhancing mechanical strength. Given the current manufacturing capabilities of microelectronics at the nanometer level, the grain size of metal sputtering targets has become critical. Consequently, research has been conducted on utilizing scandium in metal sputtering targets to decrease the grain size. Furthermore, several studies are underway to explore potential applications of scandium as a component in electrically conductive single elements or oxides and nitrides.
Our scandium sputtering target product
QS Advanced Materials (QSAM) provides high purity scandium metal products in two grades. The commonly used regular 99.5% grade materials are produced directly through an electrolytic process, resulting in an REM purity of 99.9%, which indicates that the content of other rare earth elements is below 0.1%. However, the other type of scandium that is more costly and superior in quality, entails a supplementary distillation purification process applied to the electrolytic grade to obtain an overall purity of 99.9% (99.99% REM). QSAM also offers its clients access to scandium sputter targets, available in both the above-mentioned grades. We are the place where you could buy the custom designed disc sputter target.

Scandium Sputtering Target Packaging
As Scandium sputtering target is a quite brittle material, we shall packed these sputter targets in vacuum sealed plastic bags and fit it in cut plastic faom. We choose high quality over-sized carboard box to keep our sputter targets safe. Typical documents along with the Sc sputter targets are, Chemical analytical report of the Scandium metal material (COA) Packing list
