This antimony (Sb) sputtering target from Nanografi is a 2'' disc, 0.250'' thick, with a purity of 99.95%. It serves as the source material in sputter deposition, where atoms are eroded from the target and laid down as a thin film on a substrate such as a silicon wafer.
Sputter deposition is repeatable and scales from small R&D experiments up to production batches covering medium to large substrate areas. Its many process parameters give experienced users close control over film growth and microstructure.
Antimony is a bluish-white, lustrous metal with atomic number 51, sitting in group 15 alongside arsenic and bismuth. Its fire-retardant character makes it useful for flame-retardant coatings, and it is also applied in optoelectronic devices and as an n-type dopant in silicon. Antimony can be combined with elements such as tin or indium, for example in indium antimony oxide used to produce transparent conductive films.
- Thin film deposition of antimony onto substrates such as silicon wafers.
- Fire-retardant coatings based on antimony.
- Optoelectronic devices including LEDs, laser diodes, photodiodes and solar cells.
- Semiconductor work involving antimony as a dopant in n-type silicon for diodes, infrared detectors and Hall-effect devices.
- Sputter etching where high etching anisotropy is required.
- Surface analysis such as secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS).
