Tantalum Oxide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Tantalum oxide, also known as tantalum(V) oxide, is the inorganic compound with the formula Ta2O5. It is a white solid that is insoluble in all solvents but is attacked by strong bases and hydrofluoric acid. Tantalum Oxide (Ta2O5) Sputtering Targets (Size:2'' ,Thickness:0.125'' , Purity: 99.99%) is an inert material with a high refractive index and low absorption which makes it useful for coatings. It is also extensively used in the production of capacitors, due to its high dielectric constant.
Tantalum oxide films are of interest for applications in high temperature resistance, anti-reflection coatings for solar cells, optical waveguide, oxygen sensors, and capacitor dielectric materials. In recent years they have received increasing attention as an alternative dielectric to replace thin SiO, films for storage capacitors in very large-scale-integrated memory cells and as gate insulators in metal-oxide-semiconductor devices.
Tantalum oxide films can be formed by at least five different methods: (1) thermal oxidation of sputtered tantalum films; (2) chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using a TaCl, (3) anodization of Ta metal films (4) magnetron sputter deposition from a Ta,O2 target ; (5) reactive sputtering of a pure Ta target using O2-Ar gas .
Also tantalum oxide sputtering targets can be used for high dielectric constant materials because of its high dielectric constant, high refractive index and chemical and thermal stability with the promise of compatibility in the microelectronics processing.

Usage of Silver Conductive Adhesive Paste in Corrosion Protection

In electronics, solders are main material to connect electrical components to substrates which are generally printed circuit boards. Although they are cheap, they are not effective if long term performance is considered since solders have low resistivity to corrosion relatively. Since corrosion reduce reliability, the cost of advanced technological systems such as RADAR, SONAR, LIDAR and more increase. In addition, small signals can be lost, and in huge data transfer, some of the data can be lost also especially which may lead catastrophic failures in critical systems. For instance, surface to air missiles can be launched to target which is not exist if the data coming from detection systems is noisy. Therefore, corrosion protection is necessary, and  silver conductive adhesive paste  is an essential candidate to replace PbSn solders due to its resistivity to corrosion. Silver conductive adhesive paste provide not only noisy reduction but also electromagnetic interference whi...

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...

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...
