SAM Sputter Targets

Did you know the memory chips (DRAM & Flash) in your phone and computer are built on two completely different kinds of "micro-skyscrapers"? One requires drilling incredibly deep "wells," the other involves stacking incredibly tall "floors."

This poses a massive challenge for a key chip-making step: thin-film coating. Our new article explains, in accessible terms, how engineers use a core material—the "sputtering target"—to perfectly coat these "deep wells" and "tall towers" with their necessary metallic layers.

Curious about the micro-manufacturing magic that holds up our digital world?
