Technology
ProTech Materials processes are tailored for different target
materials.  For low melting point materials, we have developed
casting processes which carefully control micro structure and
uniformity, both necessary for superior sputtering performance.

Examples are indium (In) and indium alloy sputtering target
casting, used in thin film solar manufacturing and web coating
applications.  The ProTech Materials' casting process yields
high purity, small grain size, void free sputtering targets.

Powder processing is another core strength of ProTech Materials.
Our manufacturing processes are used to consolidate powders
for both metals with high melting points, as well as, ceramic
oxides .  Processes used in powder manufacturing include
powder preparation, cold pressing, hot pressing, cold isostatic
pressing (CIP), hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and sintering. Careful
control of key parameters in these process steps result in the high quality materials that ProTech Materials is known for.

An example of one of ProTech's powder manufactured products is AZO (Alumina doped Zinc Oxide).  Our powder and
consolidation processes result in a high density sputtering target with excellent uniformity control, within a lot and lot to
lot.

ProTech Materials is continuously improving existing processes and developing new ones to meet the challenge of the
rapidly changing materials needs in the markets we serve.
