Cerium is a chemical element with the symbol Ce and atomic number 58. Cerium is a soft, ductile and silvery-white metal that tarnishes when exposed to air, and it is soft enough to be cut with a knife
Cerium is a component of mischmetal, used in the manufacture of alloys for cigarette lighters. Cerium oxide is used in incandescent gas mantles, as a glass polishing agent and as a catalyst in self-cleaning ovens.
Cerium Sputtering Target
Chemical formula：Ce
Melting point：798℃
Density：6.77g/cm3
Purity: 99.99%
Notice：Store in a cool, dry place.Stay away from sources of fire, oxidants, and water.Do not store with acids.
Currently our standard round target sizes range from 1" to 20" in diameter, and the rectangular targets are available in lengths up to and over 2000mm in single or multiple piece construction depending on the metal.
The suggestion for using the targets protected in kerosene ( aerospace -grade kerosene ).
1.Prepare 500ml of acetone liquid,open the package of the target,take the target out of the poly bag with tweezers ,and put the target into the acetone liquid for 10 seconds ,repeated the soaking operation for 3 times .
2.Then do the flash drying and put the target into the magnetron sputtering system.
3.Do the pre-sputtering to remove the oxide on the surface.we suggest the 20 mins of pre-sputtering time .
4.Maideli suggestion:do not take the target out of the sputtering chamber until the sputtering processing is finally done . Better to put the target into a vacuum protection in case of oxidation . (If can't be protected in vacuum protection ,put it back into kerosene .
