Pyrolytic Graphite Sputtering Targets and Applications

Pyrolytic graphite is a material similar to graphite, but with some covalent bonding between its graphene sheets as a result of imperfections in its production.
Pyrolytic graphite is man-made and is not found in nature. Pyrolytic graphite exhibits good thermal and electrical conductivity as well as high durability and chemical and wear resistance. The thermal and mechanical properties have led to usage as a coating that can be obtained by sputtering targets for individual pebbles in pebble bed reactors and rocket nozzles as well as electronic thermal management applications including heat spreaders. Pyrolytic graphite is biocompatible and thromboresistant and has been investigated as a coating for heart valves and other forms of prosthesis.
Pyrolytic graphite sputtering targets can also be used for coating optical fibers and this coating make them more resistant to harsh environmental conditions. Pyrolytic graphite films can be used also in microelectronics components including vertical interconnects and wires, gate electrodes and electrodes in metal-silicon-insulator capacitors. The ease of processing and favorable properties of pyrolytic graphite make it a good candidate for novel approaches to device fabrication.
Thin films obtained by using pyrolytic graphite sputtering targets are being used for thermal management in electronic devices like smartphones. These films are potentially useful for cryogenic applications, especially in space engineering. One recent example of the usage of pyrolytic graphite thin films is their use in a vibration isolated thermal link for cryocoolers.

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...

Bismuth Oxide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Bismuth oxide with the chemical formula of Bi 2 O 3  is one the most important bismuth compounds. Bismuth oxide has been investigated extensively due to its optical and electrical properties such as large energy gap (from 2 to 4 eV), refractive index and high oxygen ion conductivity at high and medium temperatures. These properties make bismuth oxide one of the most perspective candidates for application in optoelectronics, solar cells and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Bismuth oxide has a few main polymorphic forms that are known as α, β, γ, δ. All polymorphs have different crystal structure and various optical, electrical and mechanical properties. Only two of them, the low temperature monoclinic α-phase and high temperature face-centered cubic δ-phase are stable. The other phases are metastable. Magnetron sputtering is a widespread method because of high deposition rate, dense and highly adhesive films, and possibility of using commercially available large area depositio...
