Antimony Telluride (Sb₂Te₃) Sputtering Targets
Purity: 99.999% | Size: 1” | Thickness: 0.250”
Antimony telluride sputtering targets enable precise thin-film deposition on diverse substrate shapes and sizes. The process is repeatable and scalable, suitable for small R&D projects as well as medium-to-large production batches. Chemical reactions can occur on the target surface, in-flight, or on the substrate, providing fine control over film growth and microstructure.
Applications:
-
Thin-film deposition on silicon wafers and other substrates.
-
Semiconductor etching with high anisotropy requirements.
-
Material analysis, including SIMS, for detecting trace impurities.
-
Space applications: contributes to space weathering on airless bodies such as asteroids and the Moon.
About Antimony Telluride (Sb₂Te₃):
Sb₂Te₃ is a grey crystalline solid with a layered structure—two atomic sheets of antimony and three of tellurium held together by van der Waals forces. It is a widely used thermoelectric material, ideal for power generators, coolers, and thermal sensors, with effective performance between 200 K and 400 K due to its excellent electrical conductivity. These sputtering targets are also suitable for coating flexible materials.
