Boron Carbide Sputtering Target is a material used in the sputtering process to deposit boron carbide films onto a substrate. Sputtering is a type of physical vapor deposition (PVD) where ions or particles are accelerated towards the target material, causing atoms or molecules to be ejected and deposited onto a substrate to form a thin film.
Chemical formula：B4C
Molar mass：55.255 g/mol
Appearance: Typically black or dark gray, solid discs or plates.
Density：2.52 g/cm3, solid.
Melting Point: Approximately 2,350°C (4,270°F), which is beneficial for high-temperature applications.
Hardness: Extremely hard material with a Mohs hardness of about 9.3, making it suitable for applications that require abrasion resistance and wear protection.
Solubility in water：insoluble
Electrical Insulation: Boron carbide is an insulator at room temperature, which can be important in certain electronic applications.
Purity: Boron carbide sputtering targets are typically available in high-purity grades, such as 99% or 99.99%, depending on the requirements of the deposition process.
Wear-Resistant Coatings: Boron carbide sputtering targets are deposited on substrates to provide high wear resistance in mechanical parts, tools, and machinery exposed to extreme conditions.
Hard Coatings: The extreme hardness of boron carbide makes it ideal for depositing hard films used in cutting tools, abrasives, and industrial equipment that require a durable, hard surface.
Ballistic Protection: Boron carbide sputtering targets can be used in protective coatings for armor, as boron carbide is known for its ability to absorb and dissipate energy.
Neutron Absorption Coatings: Due to its neutron-absorbing properties, boron carbide films are used in nuclear applications for neutron shielding or in control rods.
Semiconductor and Electronics Coatings: Boron carbide sputtering targets can be used as a dielectric coating in semiconductor devices, offering protection and insulation.
Optical Coatings: In certain optical applications, boron carbide films may be used for their hardness, especially when resistance to wear and scratching is required.
Thermal Management: The high thermal conductivity of boron carbide makes it suitable for applications involving heat dissipation, such as in heat shields and high-temperature environments.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
