Product innovation
Codex International’s new EPC © (Enhanced Process Control) process is an innovative manufacturing process that improves target performance, durability and deposit homogeneity.
Codex International has developed a new technology for manufacturing EPC© sputtering targets that optimizes the flow of materials and significantly improves their sputtering performance.
Our EPC© process allows a better control of crystalline orientations and grain size (especially for ferromagnetic materials). Sputtering targets manufactured using Codex International’s EPC© process have the following competitive advantages
– Minimize magnetic shunting
– Stabilize the plasma
– Improve thin film uniformity
– Increase thin film deposition rates and reduce cycle times.

[Wafers] – Engineers grow ‘perfect’ atom-thin materials on industrial silicon wafers 14 November 2023

True to Moore’s Law, the number of transistors on a microchip has doubled every year since the 1960s. But this trajectory is predicted to soon plateau because silicon — the backbone of modern transistors — loses its electrical properties once devices made from this material dip below a certain size.
