Yttrium Aluminate (Yttrium Aluminum Oxide) (YAG)

YAG targets are used in sputtering processes to deposit high-quality optical thin films and protective coatings for laser components and high-temperature sensors.

YAG is utilized as a high-refractive index material for durable, high-damage threshold optical coatings in laser systems and infrared optics.

YAG is used as a source material in physical vapor deposition to create thin films for optoelectronic devices and solid-state lighting.

As a host crystal for rare-earth dopants, YAG is fundamental in the production of solid-state lasers, LEDs, and scintillation detectors.

YAG powders are applied via thermal spray to provide corrosion and erosion resistance in high-temperature environments, such as semiconductor processing chambers.
