Zero Stress Point Temperature for Bonding
At the SVC (Society of Vacuum Coaters) conference this year, I spoke about setting a “zero stress” temperature during target bonding. I&rs...
A Variable Zero Stress Point
We have observed that the temperature at which two materials are bonded will set the base temperature that any subsequent CTE is measured from. T...
NanoBond® used for Data Generation
“The standard process was used as described: The pieces were assembled with a reactive multilayer foil between the aluminum and molybdenum, with...
An Alternative Approach to Sputtering Target Bonding
A traditionally bonded sputtering target experiences a wide range of temperatures over its life cycle. It is bonded at over 200°C – usually ...
