Selenium Sputtering Targets and Applications

Selenium is a chemical element with symbol Se and atomic number 34. Selenium is a nonmetal with having similar properties with sulfur, tellurium and arsenic.  Selenium sputtering targets generally used for glassmaking and pigments. Being a semiconductor selenium is used in photocells. Selenium was used in electronic applications but it has been mostly replaced with silicon semiconductor devices. In a few types of DC power surge protectors and one type of fluorescent  quantum dot  selenium is still used. By physical vapor deposition you may obtain thin films of selenium and this will be a cheap option for you for large-scale device productions. Also selenium thin films are good choices in the applications of photovoltaic and photoconductive devices. Selenium sputtering target  has low melting point, high vapor pressure and these properties make selenium thin films ideal to be used in applications like photocells, switching, memory and X-ray photoconductor.
