Bismuth Germanium Oxide (BGO)

Bismuth Germanium Oxide  target is an important functional material target.

Basic information:

Chemical formula: Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂.
Crystal structure: with cubic ewerite crystal structure
Appearance: usually solid flake or round target, generally off-white or light yellow.

Chemical properties:

Stability: it is relatively stable at room temperature and pressure, but in some special chemical environments, such as strong acids and bases, chemical reactions may occur.

Oxidising properties: the bismuth and germanium elements therein have certain oxidising properties, and can be involved as oxidising agents in some reactions, but in the application process of the target, such oxidising properties usually do not have a negative impact on its performance.

Application field:

Optical field: Bismuth Germanium Oxide is able to emit green fluorescence under the action of high-energy particles or high-energy rays (e.g., β-rays and X-rays), its targets can be used for the preparation of optical films, which are used, for example, in scintillator materials and fluorescent screens.

Semiconductor field: Can be used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices, such as in integrated circuits, optoelectronic devices and other aspects of the thin film deposition process, as a sputtering target material to prepare films with specific functions, these films can improve the performance of semiconductor devices.

Electronics: In the field of electronics, Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂ targets can be used in the preparation of insulating or protective layers for electronic components to improve the performance and reliability of electronic components.
