Since 1985, ACI Alloys, Inc. has manufactured sputtering targets, evaporation sources, and specialty materials and shapes for thin-film or related applications. Our customers include many of the world's principal academic and industrial research groups.
products: Sputtering Targets

At ACI Alloys, Inc. sputtering targets are made from high-purity elemental metals.
Arc-casting in inert gas (argon) means 100% density and minimal oxygen. Sputter targets may also be cut from sintered plate (if a pure element) or hot-pressed (for ceramics). Some sputtering targets have to be hot-pressed: oxides, pure boron, etc.
The targets are then machined to within the tolerances of the customer's sputtering system. We do this in house; we have a full machine shop with lathes, mills, and grinders. Finally, our targets are vacuum-sealed and shipped to the customer, usually as soon as they are finished. We offer quick turn-around times because we specialize in the research and development market.
