Our team of specialists has a comprehensive understanding of the process and production issues facing customers, and works directly with equipment and process engineers to deliver personalized support solutions

Manufacturing Facilities

To support our worldwide customer base of sputtering target and ACROTEC compound semiconductor materials users, manufacturing facilities are located in both Japan the United States. Both sites are state of the art facilities which utilize the best equipment available, in addition to a highly trained staff with extensive knowledge in their areas of expertise.

JX Nippon Mining & Metals has one of the largest analytical labs in the industry, with the latest in metrology equipment. We utilize both destructive and non-destructive testing to support quality control, research and development, and special technical requests.

JX Nippon Mining & Metals offers a wide range of sputtering targets for advanced thin film applications including: semiconductor, flat panel display, and data storage.

Target materials are available in a variety of grades and purities to meet specific customer requirements. Target microstructure and magnetic permeability (for ferro-magnetic materials) are also controlled to maximize target performance.

Targets are available in configurations for all major PVD sputtering systems. Expertise and extensive experience with a variety of bonding technologies (solder bonding, electron-beam welding, and diffusion bonding) assures bonding efficiency without affecting target microstructure.

JX Nippon Mining & Metals is the number one supplier of ITO(indium tin oxide) worldwide for use in flat panel display manufacture. Our ITO is available in an Ultra-high density grade for an extremely high quality thin film with low particulates.

Other sputtering target materials for optical thin films are available and include: molybdenum, tungsten, aluminum alloys and titanium.

JX Nippon Mining & Metals offers a full line of sputtering targets that meet the high quality requirements for magnetic head and media (rigid disk and optical disk) manufacturing. Targets feature fine control of magnetic properties and alloy composition.
