ProSciTech supplies a wide range of unmounted disks or washer type sputtering targets, as well as targets mounted on backing plates, replacing the original target holders.
Ask if you require a mounted target.
Additionally we can source many other sputtering disks in a variety of materials - please ask.
Here are some examples of sputter target materials that we have supplied:
W, Ag, Ti, Ce, ZnS, Au/Pd 60:40, Au/Pd 80:20, Zirconium oxide with 10-15%wt Y2O3, Cr, Au, Al, Pt, Ir, Cu, Ag/Cu 90:10, Fe, Si microcrystalline, Si polycrystalline, Si n-type, Si p-type, Si undoped.

Note: All listed targets made from Au/Pd are in the ratio 60:40.

Target choice - some practical considerations

Prices change due to fluctuations of metal prices.
The price of a target depends to a large extent on the cost of the metal on the world market, and must be calculated anew each time. For instance, a 57mm diameter x 0.1mm gold target is likely to cost around AUD1000, a silver one of the same dimensions about AUD650, and a palladium one about AUD1300.

FAQ: How to mount targets in a sputter coater
Most targets are held by a cover or are crimped around the edge - if yours is not that type it must be glued.
The 'glue' used must be electrically conducting.
For 'professional' mounting use a few slivers of indium wire on the support plate, cover with the target and then either place in an oven with a flat weight on top of the target, or use a smoothing iron to heat the gold and hence melt the indium. Placing something like a piece of lens tissue onto the target would protect it.
A temperature a little higher than melting point of indium is required (m.p. 156.6ºC) for a short time.
Alternatively use a bit of silver conducting paint, preferably a few small drops of paste at the bottom of the jar.
You could also make a paste using our silver powder and a little commercial epoxy glue - the method can be found under Silver powder C920 on page C8. Only spot gluing is required, but keep a weight on the target while drying/ curing.

RECYCLING USED TARGETS
Trade-in of used 99.99% Au and Pt targets
The precious metal prices to a refinery are well below world market price. There are also charges for analysis and refining. Consequently exhausted targets have little value. However, we would like to help in the recycling of these metals and offer a buy-back scheme for targets bought from us, which is best applied to an order of a new target.
The following amounts will be deducted from your order:
AUD2.00/0.1g of 99.99% gold
AUD2.50/0.1g of 99.99% platinum
At this point we are not considering precious metal mixtures - like Au:Pd.

VSRC-AU Used target, returned for recycling, Au AUD0.00 /0.1g
VSRC-PT Used target, returned for recycling, Pt AUD0.00 /0.1g
