Sputtering Targets for Optical Films

NS-5 Series
(High-Refractivity Target)

Features

Our proprietary high-refractivity target, offering the following features.

  • High-refractivity, high-transmittance film can be deposited at a fast rate by DC sputtering.
    As an alternative material to TiO2, it enables higher productivity and improvement of optical properties.
  • The target offers outstanding amorphous stability and barrier performance. It is suited for use as protective film of various kinds.

NS-5: For films with higher refractivity than TiO2  NS-5B: Deposition three times faster than TiO2
