Problems solved by technology

Due to the complex and diverse crystal forms of zirconia, there are generally three types of monoclinic, tetragonal, and cubic crystal forms, and the crystal form transformation will change with temperature changes. It is impossible to obtain qualified targets by using traditional molding techniques. For this reason, China Patent CN103936415B discloses a stable zirconia ceramic target for electron beam physical vapor deposition and its preparation method. The target material is improved by adding oxides of Nb, Ta, Sm or Gd to the components of zirconia and yttrium trioxide. stability, but because the target material has no electrical conductivity, it can only be applied to the EB-PVD process, but cannot meet the requirements of the physical vapor deposition process for the target material
