Titanium Nitride Sputtering Targets and Applications

Titanium nitride which has the chemical formula of TiN is an extremely hard ceramic material, often used as a coating on titanium alloys, steel, carbide, and aluminium components to improve the substrate's surface properties.
Applied as a thin coating, Titanium Nitride (TiN) Sputtering Targets (Size:1'' ,Thickness:0.125'' , Purity: 99.5%) is used to harden and protect cutting and sliding surfaces, for decorative purposes (due to its golden appearance), and as a non-toxic exterior for medical implants. In most applications a coating of less than 5 micrometres (0.00020 in) is applied.
The titanium thin film coatings are used in many industrial and medical applications owing to its superior properties such as high corrosion resistance, increase in mechanical properties, high thermal properties . Titanium nitride composition has various distinctive advantages such as wear resistant coatings, tools used for cutting, diffusion barriers and integrated circuits. Titanium nitride composition also have outstanding physical properties such as high hardness, inert, high corrosion resistance, low electrical resistivity, excellent thermal stability. These titanium and titanium nitride coating materials have the combination of toughness, inertness, adhesion and hardness, owing to its excellent reflective nature and also used in jewelry and optics. So, titanium and titanium nitride coatings have various advantages over other coating material and the applications ranges from microelectronics, light detectors, cutting tools and medical instrumentation. Therefore, special interest has been developed over the years about these Ti and TiN coatings.
When we look at the sputtering targets we can say that titanium nitride is one of the important compounds prepared by sputtering deposition and these nitride films are used in wide range of applications. The titanium nitride deposition is prepared by using nitrogen as the reactive gas and argon as sputtering gas, the composition of thin films can be controlled by different sputtering gas ratios (Ar/ N2) used.

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...
