Applications of Sputtering Targets in Industry and Technology What is a Sputtering Target? A sputtering target is a high-purity material source used in physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes to deposit thin films onto substrates. During sputtering, energetic ions from a plasma bombard the target surface, ejecting atoms through momentum transfer. These ejected atoms travel through vacuum and condense onto a substrate, forming a uniform thin film with precisely controlled thickness and compos...
