Strontium Titanate Sputtering Targets and Applications

Strontium Titanate is an oxide of strontium and titanium with the chemical formula SrTiO3. At room temperature, it is a centrosymmetric paraelectric material with a perovskite structure.
Strontium Titanate (SrTiO3) Sputtering Targets (Size:1'' ,Thickness:0.125'' , Purity: 99.9%) is an incipient ferroelectric material with physical and electrical properties that make it a promising candidate for a broad range of technology applications, notably those that require frequency- and phase-agile electronic components such as varactors, voltage-controlled oscillators, and phased-array antennas. For device applications, strontium titanate thin films are particularly attractive due to their high dielectric constant, low loss tangent or dissipation factor in the radio frequency (RF) range, and because they exhibit a tunability of their dielectric constant across a broad operational frequency range.
RF sputtering is highly favored thin film deposition method for strontium titanate sputtering targets. Sputter deposition relies on large electric field potentials to strike target surfaces with ionized gas atoms, either inert or reactive. Impinging gas atoms with high kinetic energy release particles from the target surface into the vapor phase, which then rain down on a substrate material to generate a thin film. This technique is desirable for its high throughput thanks to its potential for large area deposition. Sputter systems range from small laboratory setups to industrial production models that handle batches of wafers simultaneously. Sputtering has shown potential to produce very-high-quality thin films with superb microstructural and electrical properties. Sputtering is one the most used methods to obtain strontium titanate thin films.

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 ...

Hydroxyapatite Nanopowders and Their Applications

Hydroxyapatite, is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite with the formula Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 (OH). Pure hydroxyapatite powder is white. Naturally occurring apatites can, however, also have brown, yellow, or green colorations, comparable to the discolorations of dental fluorosis. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticles (50 nm, 99.95+%)  has been widely used as a biocompatible ceramic in many areas of medicine, but mainly for contact with bone tissue, due to its resemblance to mineral bone. In mammals, the skeleton presents a carbonated and partially substituted apatite, based on nanocrystal aggregates, and associated with collagen, building up 3-D structures present in various bone tissue conformations like trabecular or cancellous bone. There has been growing interest in developing bioactive synthetic ceramics that could closely mimic natural apatite characteristics. As mentioned before,  Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder  is the main inorganic constituent of bon...
