Silicon Dioxide Sputter Target
SiO2 (Fused Quartz)
99 – 99.995% pure
Silicon dioxide, also known as silica, has a chemical formula of SiO2. Silicon dioxide is commonly found in nature as sand or quartz. It is primarily used in the production of glass for windows and beverage bottles. It is evaporated under vacuum for the fabrication of optoelectronic and circuit devices.
Applications:
Silicon dioxide is a widely used thin film material. Silicon dioxide (Fused Quartz) sputtering targets have properties such as anti-resistance, hardness, corrosion resistance, dielectric, optical transparency and a number of others.
In the microelectronic field, silicon dioxide is used as the most common dielectric. Silicon dioxide also can be used as the gate dielectric layer of MOS and CMOS devices. In optical field, silicon dioxide is utilized for passive or active optical devices, which not only have excellent light-admitting quality but also have other basic functions, such as electro-optic modulation and optical amplification. Therefore, silicon dioxide can be used as waveguide film, AR coating and antireflection film. Silicon dioxide thin film also can be used as a corrosion protective layer of metals.

(* The ratings are based on unbonded targets and are material specific. Bonded targets should be run at lower powers to prevent bonding failures. Bonded targets should be run at 20 Watts/Square Inch or lower, depending on the material. ** The z-ratio is unknown. Therefore, we recommend using 1.00 or an experimentally determined value)
