Product Innovation: deposition deposition. International's new EPC© (Enhanced Process Control) process is an innovative manufacturing method that improves target performance and durability , as well as homogeneity Codex International has developed a new manufacturing technology for sputtering targets that optimizes material flow and significantly improves sputtering performance. EPC© Our EPC© process allows for better control of crystal orientations and grain size (especially for ferromagnetic materials). sputtering targets manufactured using Codex International's EPC© process offer the following competitive advantages: • Minimize magnetic shunting • Stabilize the plasma • Improve thin-film uniformity • Increase thin-film deposition rates and reduce cycle times.
