Cadmium Sputtering Target

Cadmium Sputtering Targets offer 99.95% purity cadmium in a choice of 2 precisely controlled diameters and thicknesses. These disks are ideal for use as sputtering targets thanks to their excellent uniformity and adhesion. Cadmium coatings applied using these targets have applications in photovoltaics, semiconductors and corrosion protection.
