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.

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...
