Antimony Telluride (Sb₂Te₃) Sputtering Targets
Purity: 99.999% | Size: 3” | Thickness: 0.125”
Antimony telluride sputtering targets are engineered for high-precision thin-film deposition on a variety of substrate shapes and sizes. The sputtering process is reliable, repeatable, and scalable, supporting both small-scale R&D and medium-to-large production batches. Chemical reactions may occur on the target surface, in-flight, or on the substrate depending on process parameters, giving experts precise control over film growth and microstructure.
Applications:
-
Thin-film deposition on substrates such as silicon wafers.
-
Semiconductor etching requiring high anisotropy.
-
Material analysis, including SIMS, for trace impurity detection.
-
Space applications: sputtering contributes to space weathering on airless bodies like asteroids and the Moon.
About Antimony Telluride (Sb₂Te₃):
Antimony telluride is a grey crystalline solid with a layered structure, consisting of two antimony atomic sheets and three tellurium atomic sheets, held together by weak van der Waals forces. It is a proven thermoelectric material used in power generators, coolers, and thermal sensors due to its ability to efficiently convert heat into electricity. Sb₂Te₃ sputtering targets are suitable for coating flexible materials and perform effectively in the 200 K–400 K temperature range thanks to their excellent electrical conductivity and thermoelectric properties.
