Niobium Target is a key material used in the Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process, typically made from high-purity niobium metal. In the PVD process, the niobium target serves as the source material. Under high vacuum conditions, niobium atoms are deposited onto the surface of a substrate material through techniques such as ion bombardment or magnetron sputtering, forming a uniform niobium film. This film possesses excellent physical and chemical properties, including a high melting point, high hardness, good electrical and thermal conductivity, and superior corrosion resistance. Niobium targets are widely used in electronics, optics, semiconductors, aerospace, and new energy fields. They are essential for manufacturing high-performance electronic devices, optical films, semiconductor chips, and solar cells. With continuous technological advancements and rapid industrial development, the demand for high-performance thin films is increasing, driving steady growth in the market demand for niobium targets. They have become an indispensable material in modern industry.
