Antimony Sputtering Targets and Their Applications

Antimony (Sb) has an atomic number of 51, placing it in group 15 of the periodic table along with arsenic and bismuth. It has a shiny metallic lustre and is bluish-white. In general antimony’s chemical properties are very similar to those of arsenic, although it does not have the same reputation as a toxin. Within the earth’s crust its average natural abundance is between 0.2 and 0.5 parts per million.
Antimony has very well fire retardance property and so antimony sputtering targets can be used for fire retardant coatings.
Also for optoelectronic devices like LEDs, laser diodes, photodiodes and solar cells antimony sputtering targets can be used. Antimony can be used with other elements like tin to obtain alloys to use in these areas. You may find an article written about this subject below:
Antimony is increasingly being used in semiconductors as a dopant in n-type silicon wafers for diodes, infrared detectors, and Hall-effect devices.
Antimony and its compounds can be used as sputtering targets by combining with the other elements like indium. For example indium antimony oxide can be used as sputtering agent to obtain transparent conductive film. You may read the paper written about this application from the link given below:

Improving Dialysis Process with Graphene

Researchers from Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments of MIT recently showed that graphene is a powerful material candidate for use in the dialysis systems (such as hemodialysis machines in medical institutes for filtering human blood). In order to prepare graphene as a dialysis material, researchers used a procedure opposite to the general treatments that nanotechnology people use. Dialysis is a process of filtering different solutions such as human blood by a membrane in order to remove waste molecules, drugs, chemical residues from the solution. In some cases, the process can be used for purification of chemicals or isolation of different molecules for medical diagnosis. It is an essential process for scientists especially in the medical operations.

Rundown about Silicon Oxide Wafer

The main insulating material used in micro-technology is Silicon Dioxide, which in chemical symbols is written as SiO2. In semiconductor technology, SiO2 thin film layers are mainly used as dielectric material film in transistors, capacitors (DRAM) or flash-memories. Silicon Oxide Wafers are produced using crystallization, solid state and other ultra-high purification processes such as sublimation. This process forms a cylindrical ingot, which is then sliced and polished to form wafers. Thermal oxide is a kind of "grown" oxide layer, compared to CVD deposited oxide layer, it has a higher uniformity, and higher dielectric strength, it is an excellent dielectric layer as an insulator . In most silicon- based devices, thermal oxide layer play an important role to pacify the silicon surface to act as doping barriers and as surface dielectrics. The simplest way to produce an insulating silicon oxide layers (SiO2) on silicon wafers is to oxidize silicon with oxygen, which ...
