High-Purity Fe₃O₄ Target for Thin-Film Deposition and Magnetic Applications
Cell Lab 4N (99.99%) Iron (II, III) Oxide (Fe₃O₄) Sputtering Target is a high-purity ceramic target designed for magnetron sputtering, thin-film coating, and electronic material fabrication. Known as magnetite, Fe₃O₄ exhibits semiconducting and ferrimagnetic behaviour, making it ideal for spintronic, magnetic storage, and catalytic applications.
This target can be bonded to a copper backing plate with indium bonding for enhanced thermal conductivity and target stability during sputtering. Cell Lab provides custom geometries and bonding configurations to fit a wide range of vacuum deposition systems.
High Purity (99.99%) – Ensures minimal contamination and high-quality film deposition.
Ferrimagnetic & Semiconductive Properties – Suitable for spintronics and magnetic storage coatings.
Custom Dimensions Available – Discs, rectangles, steps, or plates up to Ø200 mm.
Optional Cu Backing Plate with Indium Bonding – Improves heat dissipation and target lifespan.
Versatile Applications – Used in semiconductor, optical, and magnetic thin films.
