Tungsten Carbide (WC) Sputtering Targets

Tungsten carbide (WC) is a refractory ceramic material known for its exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and chemical stability. It has a hexagonal crystal structure and is widely used in various industrial applications. Thin films of WC can be deposited using sputtering techniques, enabling the fabrication of protective coatings and wear-resistant layers. Sputtered WC films exhibit high hardness, low friction, and excellent adhesion to substrates, making them suitable for cutting tools, drill bits, and other mechanical components subjected to extreme wear conditions. Additionally, WC films have been investigated for their potential use as diffusion barriers in semiconductor devices, where they can prevent the interdiffusion of materials and enhance the reliability of the devices. The ability to deposit WC by sputtering has greatly expanded its range of applications, from manufacturing to electronics.
