Stanford Advanced Materials Corporation (SAM) services

Indium is a soft metal with a low melting point and excellent thermal and electrical properties, which make it the preferred method for bonding sputtering targets. Indium bonding is one of the most efficient target bonding services at drawing heat away from the target. Indium is more malleable than other bonding solders. This reduces cracking that is caused by the mismatch in the thermal expansion coefficients of the target and backing plate.

In today’s competitive business environment, advanced materials recycling becomes more important in the supply chain. Stanford Advanced Materials offers a reclamation service on our rare-earth and precious metals for environmental or economic purposes. We reclaim these materials in the spent or partially used forms from the bonding, un-bonding, sputtering and other processes. Most elements herein can be reclaimed into finished metallic or compound form.
