GZO Sputtering Target
Introduction
GZO (Gallium-doped Zinc Oxide) sputtering targets are composed of zinc oxide (ZnO) with a small percentage of gallium oxide (Ga2O3) added. This doping improves the electrical and optical properties of zinc oxide, making GZO a highly conductive and transparent material. GZO is commonly used in various applications where transparency and conductivity are required, particularly in electronics and optoelectronics.
The sputtering process allows for the deposition of thin films of GZO onto various substrates with high uniformity and control over thickness. These films are valued for their potential in enhancing device performance.
