Antimony telluride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Sb2Te3. It is a grey crystalline solid with layered structure. Layers consist of two atomic sheets of antimony and three atomic sheets of tellurium and are held together by weak van der Waals forces.
Now let’s look at the application areas of antimony telluride sputtering targets. As all we know thermoelectric devices have attracted much attention for application as power generators, coolers, and thermal sensors or detectors due to their ability to interconvert heat and electric energy directly.
The performance of thermoelectric devices is evaluated by the materials’ dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) or the power factor. Antimony tellurium (Sb2Te3) is a well-established thermoelectric material that is used in the temperature range of 200 K to 400 K due to its good electrical conductivity.
