Optical storage devices such as CDs, DVDs, and new generation formats are changing the world of data storage. The majority of the world’s CDs and DVDs are coated with our materials. Umicore Thin Film Products plays a leading role in this expanding market.

Optical storage devices such as CDs and DVDs are changing the world of data storage. Three decades ago, when Sony and Philips developed and marketed the “120 mm disc area” with CD audio, the most important requirements for target materials were reflectivity and corrosion resistance.

By adding recordable and rewriteable discs with increasingly high storage capacities, the requirements for target materials have become much more sophisticated.

Optical data storage media - CDs, DVDs,  and targets

With a wide range of highly effective sputtering targets for different optical storage media, Umicore Thin Film Products supports your business with state-of-the-art solutions, adapted to your specific needs.

And we even go further. Umicore Thin Film Products is leading the way in recycling and developing environmentally friendly products and processes in a closed circle — from the raw material to the value added product. No other company can offer you a higher rate of recycling for all supplied products.
