High Purity Aluminum-Magnesium AlMg Sputtering Target for PVD Thin Film Deposition

Aluminum-magnesium (AlMg) alloy targets are materials used in physical vapor deposition (PVD) and other thin-film deposition techniques. They combine the properties of aluminum and magnesium, offering advantages such as lightweight, relatively good electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity. However, the high reactivity of magnesium presents challenges, including susceptibility to oxidation and lower corrosion resistance.

### Composition and Properties

- Lightweight: Magnesium has a lower density than aluminum, making AlMg alloy targets lighter than pure aluminum targets. This is advantageous in applications where weight reduction is critical, such as portable electronic devices or aerospace components.

- Electrical Conductivity: AlMg alloys exhibit relatively good electrical conductivity, although typically not as high as pure aluminum. The specific conductivity depends on the alloy composition and manufacturing process.

- Thermal Conductivity: AlMg alloys also demonstrate relatively good thermal conductivity, which varies based on alloy composition and preparation methods.

- Strength: The strength of AlMg alloys is generally higher than that of pure aluminum but lower than some high-strength aluminum alloys.

- Reactivity: The high reactivity of magnesium means that AlMg alloys are prone to oxidation. Protective measures, such as processing in vacuum or inert gas environments, are necessary during manufacturing and use.

- Corrosion Resistance: The corrosion resistance of AlMg alloys is typically lower than that of pure aluminum, and surface treatments may be required to enhance this property.

### Applications

AlMg alloy targets find applications in the semiconductor industry primarily in the following areas:

1. Lightweight Packaging Materials: Due to magnesium's lower density, AlMg alloys are suitable for manufacturing lightweight packaging materials, particularly for portable electronic devices.

2. Thermal Management Layers: Certain AlMg alloys possess good thermal conductivity, making them suitable as thermal management layers for chips, helping to dissipate heat and enhance device performance and lifespan.

3. Specific Electrode Materials: In some specialized applications, AlMg alloys can serve as electrode materials, especially when lightweight and specific strength are required.

4. Alloy Additives: AlMg alloys can act as additives to other target materials to adjust their properties, such as improving strength or enhancing conductivity.
