Selenium Sputtering Target

Our Selenium Sputtering Targets are valued in the semiconductor industry to deposit thin films of selenium onto substrates via physical vapor deposition. Selenium itself is a nonmetallic element that’s photoconductive with a high melting point. These properties mean that it’s used as a film in applications such as photovoltaics, photocopiers, light meters and solar cells. Providing a controlled, uniformed and reliable coating, Selenium Sputtering Targets meet the needs of both research and manufacturing.
