Antimony Telluride (Sb₂Te₃) Sputtering Targets
Purity: 99.999% | Size: 4” | Thickness: 0.125”
Antimony telluride sputtering targets are engineered for precise thin-film deposition on a variety of substrate shapes and sizes. The sputtering process is reliable, repeatable, and scalable, supporting both small-scale research and medium-to-large production batches. Chemical reactions can occur on the target surface, in-flight, or on the substrate depending on process parameters, giving experts fine 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 of two atomic sheets of antimony and three atomic sheets of tellurium, held together by weak van der Waals forces. It is a widely used thermoelectric material, ideal for power generators, coolers, and thermal sensors due to its ability to convert heat and electricity efficiently. Sb₂Te₃ sputtering targets are suitable for coating flexible materials and perform optimally in the temperature range of 200 K to 400 K, benefiting from excellent electrical conductivity and thermoelectric properties.
