Our dedicated research and technology staff will help you to find a solution best suited for your specific needs. Our complete line of manufacturing equipment and R&D lab provide high volume production as well as small quantity, one of a kind material. 
• Semiconductor:  With more than 30 year's experiences in the field of semiconductor industry, we can offer a wide range of high purity metal sputtering targets and evaporation materials. We are one of the leading suppliers for IC and Device fabs of semiconductor industry in China. Our sputtering targets are widely used in most sputtering systems, such as Endura, Quantum, Conmag, Delta, etc. We also provide target bonding, precious metal recycle and refining services. 
• Data Storage:  For the ever changing data storage industry, we offer high purity metals and alloys, such as Ta, Cr, Co, CoTaZr, CoNiFe, NiFe, FeHf, CoFeB, CoNbZr and FeZrB, etc. for your specific designs and specification. Our strict process control ensures the high quality of our product will meet your expectations. Lower cost of ownership and shared R&D efforts are other benefits to work with us. Please check our capabilities to learn how we can work together for a better future together.
• Solar:  Lida Materials provides high purity sputtering target and evaporation materials specifically for the thin film solar photovoltaic industry.  For back contact layer, our 3N5 Molybdenum (Mo) sputtering target has excellent density (typically >99%), uniform grain size distribution (see picture) and lower cost of ownership. Our 3N5 Chromium (Cr) target is made using HIP process which ensures highest possible density and uniformity. We can also provide Aluminum (Al), purity from 3N5-5N5; Titanium (Ti), purity from Grade 2 - 5N and Silver (Ag), purity 4N. For front contact / transparent conducting oxide (TCO) layer, we provide ZnO, AZO and ITO targets based on your film design and needs. For CIGS using co-evaporation process, we provide 6N pure Copper pellets with Fe < 0.1ppm at very competitive price.  This product has been well received by our customers. We can also provide high purity (5N+) Indium (In) and Gallium (Ga) evaporation materials.  For CIGS using sputtering process, we provide CuIn, CuGa and CuInGa sputtering target based on your specific formula and designs.

•  Lida Materials is a company dedicated in providing our customers with high quality product at best value possible. In order to do so, we use every resource available to improve our processes include but not limited to:
• Raw materials sourcing: we select the best reputable raw materials suppliers worldwide.
• Rigid process control: we implemented Statistical Process Control (SPC) throughout our company to ensure a stable and repeatable process
• Traceability: our ERP system traces every part ever shipped to the raw material level.
