Praseodymium Oxide

Praseodymium oxide sputtering target is a key material used in magnetron sputtering and other coating technologies. It is made of praseodymium oxide (Pr₆O₁₁), and it can deposit praseodymium oxide thin films on the substrate, and it has a variety of specifications, purity, and shapes, and it is widely used in the fields of semiconductors, optics, and electronics.

Characteristics

Appearance: Usually black or brown solid targets, with specific shapes and sizes after fine processing to meet the installation and use requirements of different sputtering equipment.

High density: the density is about 6.88g/cm³, which makes the target have good stability during the sputtering process, and is not easy to be shifted or deformed significantly due to the external force or the physical action during the sputtering process.

High melting point: The melting point is as high as about 2042℃, which can keep stable solid state under high temperature sputtering environment, not easy to melt or volatilise, which ensures the stability and continuity of the sputtering process.

Chemical stability: it has good chemical stability at room temperature and pressure, but under specific chemical reaction conditions, such as contact with strong acids, strong bases and other strong corrosive substances, it will undergo a chemical reaction to generate the corresponding salt compounds.

Oxidation resistance: It has a certain degree of oxidation resistance, which can resist the occurrence of oxidation reaction during the sputtering process and ensure that the sputtered film has a high purity and quality.

Electrical properties: good electrical conductivity, which enables efficient current conduction during the sputtering process, generating enough energy to sputter out atoms or molecules on the target surface to form high-quality films.

Crystal structure: The integrity and homogeneity of a specific crystal structure has a significant impact on the performance of the sputtered film. High-quality praseodymium oxide sputtering targets have a homogeneous and dense crystal structure, which ensures that the sputtered film has good crystallinity and homogeneity.
