Our Services.

SCI Engineered Materials® uses state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques to meet the most demanding thin-film requirements.

Specialty Ceramic and Metal Powder

Advanced Ceramic Powders

SCI maintains an in-house powder manufacturing facility to accommodate advanced ceramic and metal oxide, nitride, sulfide, and carbide materials. Our staff employ several proprietary wet and dry chemistries, reactive processing, and other techniques in order to tailor powders for optimal sputtering target performance.

Pure Ingots of Indium (In) Metal

Indium Bonding

Advanced in-house bonding capabilities allow SCI to indium bond & elastomor bond nearly any sputtering target to a backing plate The facilities that are currently in place permit us to bond planar sputtering targets up to 3 meters long, and rotatable sputtering targets up to 4 meters long.

Specialty Copper (Cu) Backing Plate for Sputtering Targets

Machining

SCI utilizes CNC machining, EDM, and dedicated grinding equipment to produce sputtering targets and backing plates with strict adherence to dimensional tolerances and specifications. You will find our surface finishes and dimensional tolerances will meet any of your industry needs.

Quality Assurance & Material Characterization​

SCI has been ISO certified since 2005, and acquired our ISO 9001:2015 certification in 2017 for the production and sale of complex physical vapor deposition (“PVD”) materials and sputtering targets.

Vacuum Hot Pressing

Many ceramic powders cannot be sintered to full density, so we employ Vacuum Hot Pressing as a technique for making ceramic (and powder metal) sputtering targets which are near-net-shape and high density. SCI’s five vacuum hot presses permit us to produce targets measuring from 1″ to 20″ in diameter.

Spools of 3D Printing Filament/Feedstock

Additive Manufacturing​

Complex shapes can’t always be cast and formed through traditional methods. Additive manufacturing can offer an alternative to high-cost tooling for prototyping and increase speed to market. SCI offers a variety of metal and ceramic doped 3D printing filaments for your application.
