Sputtering targets for thin film batteries

Product catalog summary

Overview: Thin Film Batteries are all-solid-state batteries that operate similarly to Lithium-ion batteries, converting chemical energy into electrical energy through red-ox reactions. They consist of multiple sputter-deposited films, including metallic anode and cathode contact layers, an anode layer, a solid-state electrolyte layer, and a cathode layer. Commonly used materials include Li anode, LiPON electrolyte, and LiCoO2 cathode.

Umicore Thin Film Products: A leading producer of coating materials for physical vapor deposition, Umicore Thin Film Products offers a wide range of sputtering targets and evaporation materials. They have over 50 years of experience in the field and provide products globally.

Production Process: LiCoO2 and Li3PO4 materials are produced using powder metallurgy, ensuring uniform structure and high density. Li material is produced through melting/forging. The production process includes precise control of raw powder processing and advanced densification techniques.

Analysis and Quality Assurance: Materials undergo rigorous testing using methods such as Mass Spectrometry, Hot Gas Extraction, Metallographic Investigation, Density Measurement, and X-ray Diffraction. The Balzers location is certified according to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001 standards, ensuring high product reliability.

Material Specifications: The density of LiCoO2 is typically a minimum of 4.9 g/cm3, and Li3PO4 is a minimum of 2.33 g/cm3. The materials are available in 3N (99.9%) metallic purity. Flexible production processes allow for a wide range of target sizes and shapes.

Bonding and Packaging: Proprietary bonding methods are used to accommodate thermo-mechanical stress and ensure electrical contact. Final cleaning and packaging occur under clean-room conditions, with targets vacuum-sealed in polyethylene bags. Li targets are packed according to international transport regulations for dangerous goods.

Contact Information: Umicore Thin Film Products has multiple locations worldwide, including in Balzers, Beijing, Taiwan, and the USA. Contact details for each location are provided for customer inquiries and support.
