Niobium Nitride (NbN) Sputtering Target, 99.9% (3N) Purity, Circular

Niobium Nitride (NbN) Sputtering Target, 99.9% (3N) Purity, Circular

Niobium Nitride (NbN) sputtering target is a nitride ceramic PVD source material for magnetron sputtering, ion sputtering, and laboratory thin-film deposition. It is supplied in circular target formats for research, development, and small-batch process work where controlled handling, stated dimensions, and material identity are specified.

Features

Source Material
Supplied at 99.9% (3N) purity for thin-film workflows that require controlled source composition for deposition work.

Circular Target Formats
Available in circular diameters including 1.97 inch diameter (50 mm), 2 inch diameter (50.8 mm), 2.36 inch diameter (60 mm), 3 inch diameter (76.2 mm), 4 inch diameter (101.6 mm), 3.15 inch diameter (80 mm), 3.94 inch diameter (100 mm). Thickness options include 3 mm thick, depending on the selected diameter and target configuration.

Controlled Processing and Inspection
Target preparation may include material selection, forming, heat treatment, precision machining, dimensional inspection, surface finishing, cleaning, and final inspection. Composition and impurity control may be supported by analytical methods such as ICP, GDMS, carbon/sulfur analysis, oxygen/nitrogen analysis, and metallographic inspection where appropriate.

Controlled Handling and Packaging
Targets are prepared for deposition use with controlled surface handling and protective packaging. Store sealed in a dry environment, handle with gloves, and avoid direct contact with oil, dust, moisture, or other surface contamination before installation.

Mounting Configuration Note
Selected configurations for this product include mounting options such as 3 mm + 2 mm Cu backing; 3 mm + 2 mm Cu backing + magnetic shim; 3 mm + 3 mm Cu backing; 3 mm + 3 mm Cu backing + magnetic shim. Choose the plain target, Cu-backed target, and/or magnetic-shim configuration according to the sputtering source geometry and cathode requirements.
