[labnetwork] Sputtering targets storage

[Aebersold,Julia W.]

We currently do not store our targets in foil.  Only in the container they arrived in and in a storage cabinet in the cleanroom.

Cheers!

Subject: [labnetwork] Sputtering targets storage

Hi All,

We have a lot sputtering targets for our UHV sputtering system. Right now each target is covered by Aluminum foil stored in a plastic box.
We are wondering whether the Aluminum foil is necessary for all the targets. After several times the foil will become wrinkled and it is kind annoying to cover a target with wrinkled foil.
Do you have any good idea to store those targets? Please advise.
And for those used ones, any good way to dispose them or recycle them?

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Jing
