Platinum Sputtering Targets and Applications

Platinum is a chemical element with symbol Pt and atomic number 78. Platinum is a dense, malleable, ductile, highly unreactive, precious, silverish-white transition metal.
Platinum is a member of the platinum group of elements and group 10 of the periodic table of elements. Platinum is one of the least reactive metals. It has remarkable resistance to corrosion, even at high temperatures, and is therefore considered a noble metal.
Platinum sputtering target is used in catalytic converters, laboratory equipment, electrical contacts and electrodes, platinum resistance thermometers, dentistry equipment, and jewelry.
Apart from platinium's decorative value as a corrosion-resistant, platinum sputtering target is useful in thermometers, electrodes and catalysts. Thin platinum films have long been used as thermocouple elements in the aeronautical research field, as well as resistance thermometers and strain gauges. In the biomedical applications ultra-thin platinum films can be used as conductive biocompatible material, and can be used in coronary artery stents, auditory prostheses, and pace-maker electrodes.
These properties of platinum make it a good chemical that can be worked on. For example NASA has an article about the usage of platinum thin films for high temperature sensor applications. According to NASA , the studies were carried out by depositing films in a resistive strain gauge pattern and making measurements of the resistance with an ohmmeter, since an application of the platinum films in NASA’s thin film sensor research would be as a resistive-based sensor.

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 ...

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...
