Sputtering Targets

The Thin Film Materials Division is one of the world’s leading producers and developers of sputtering targets for use in the field of thin film technology.
The Division is able to supply targets for all of the key layer systems used in photovoltaic applications. In close co-operation with photovoltaic customers and plant manufacturers the Division has already succeeded in establishing a large number of innovative planar and rotatable targets on the market.
Standards have risen considerably, and most particularly in the thin film photovoltaic industry, from a technical as well as an economical point of view.
The Thin Film Materials Division offers direct solutions to suit the customer. Their ability to convince is based on many years experience of innovation and development, in-depth vertical range production know-how and competent advice on applicational technology.
