Silicon Dioxide (Fused Quartz) Sputtering Targets and Applications

Silicon dioxide, also known as silica, is an oxide of silicon with the chemical formula SiO2, most commonly found in nature as quartz and in various living organisms. In many parts of the world, Silicon Dioxide (Fused Quartz)(SiO2) Sputtering Targets (Size:1'' ,Thickness:0.125'' , Purity: 99.995%) is the major constituent of sand. Notable examples of silicon dioxide include fused quartz, fumed silica, silica gel, and aerogels. Silicon dioxide is used in structural materials, microelectronics (as an electrical insulator), and as components in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Silicon dioxide is a widely used thin film material. Silicon dioxide (Fused Quartz) sputtering targets has many excellent properties such as anti-resistance, hardness, corrosion resistance, dielectric, optical transparency etc. There are many fields that silicon dioxide is used. In microelectronic field, silicon dioxide is widely used as the most common dielectric. As silicon dioxide (Fused Quartz) sputtering targets has adjustable forbidden band width, it can be served as light absorption layer of the thin film of amorphous silicon solar cells to improve light absorption efficiency. Silicon dioxide also can be used as the gate dielectric layer of MOS and CMOS devices or the thin film transistor. In optical field, silicon dioxide is utilized for passive or active optical devices, which not only have excellent light-admitting quality but also have other basic functions, such as electro-optic modulation and optical amplification. Therefore, silicon dioxide can be used as waveguide film, AR coating and antireflection film. In the packaging industry, silicon dioxide film is used as a barrier layer of polymer packaging materials. Most of modern packaging materials cannot offer a sufficient barrier against permeation of gases, which will lead to a reduced self-life of food and drink. Just because of this, a silicon dioxide film deposited on the surface of polymer packaging becomes popular and indispensable. Besides, silicon dioxide film also can be used as a corrosion protective layer of metals. Because of the universal application of silicon oxide films in various fields, preparation of silica with high quality is always an important content of scientific research. Preparation methods of silica change with its different purposes and requirements .At present, there are a lot of preparation methods of silica, mainly including physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), sol-gel method, oxidation method etc. Among them, physical vapor deposition (PVD) includes evaporating deposition, sputtering deposition and ion plating; chemical vapor deposition (CVD) mainly includes traditional chemical vapor deposition and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). In addition, atmospheric pressure plasma deposition technology is also a common coating technology, because it does not need to vacuum, suitable for mass deposition.

New Way of Deaf-Mute Communication with 3D Graphene

Image retrieved from: http://blogs.rsc.org/cc/2016/09/01/3d-graphene-adds-dimension-to-deaf%E2%80%93mute-communication/ Chinese scientists have developed wearable electronic device with conductive 3D graphene structure to translate sign language into written text. This technology can be applied by injecting graphene ink from a syringe under printed electronic field. For medical field, such as adhesive patches which determine heart, brain signal and neural activity, wearable and bio-integrated medical devices are very important. Due to noticeable properties of cast graphene, for example a 2D honeycomb lattice, excellent mechanical and electrical behaviors, Graphene has an important material in warble technology. However, it is difficult to preserve advantages of Graphene material in a 3D material which has an information about forces from every angle. Yanlin Song  and co-workers at the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, and Shenyang Jianzhu University...

Titanium Carbide Powders and Applications

Titanium carbide which has the chemical formula of TiC attracted great interest for many structural applications due to its extremely high melting temperature, high hardness, high chemical resistance and good electrical conductivity. Therefore titanium carbide can be used in cutting tools, grinding wheels, wear-resistant coatings, high temperature heat exchangers, magnetic recording heads, turbine engine seals, and bullet-proof vests, etc. In addition, a promising field of application comprises plasma and flame spraying processes in air, where titanium carbide-based powders show high-phase stability. TiC(Titanium Carbide Powder) (325 mesh, 99,9+%)  can also be used in biomedical implant devices. Materials used for biomedical implant devices must satisfy a variety of property demands, which are often mutually exclusive. Further, different parts of a device demand different material properties. These factors often make it difficult to manufacture a medical device using a...

Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Graphene Nanopowder and Applications

Carbon nanotubes and graphene are different forms of carbon atom based materials. They have different properties and can be used in various applications. But what happens if we use them as a hybrid structure? The excellent mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of low-dimensional carbon materials like graphene and carbon nanotube have enabled them as promising building blocks for three-dimensional nanoarchitectures. In this regard, extensive interests have been attracted to synthesize graphene and carbon nanotube hybrid structures. Earlier works suggested that  Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Graphene Nanopowder (52 wt% Graphene )  is a promising solution for quick energy dissipation, which could enhance interface thermal conductivity of the ‘building blocks’ for future nanoscale mechanical and electrical devices. In the electricity perspective, it is found that ‘CNT pillared-graphene’ system would extend the excellent electrical conductivity of graphene and nanotube to ...
