ST1051 Tantalum sputter target (Ta sputter target)

Tantalum Sputtering Target Description

Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) supplies Tantalum sputtering targets that meet defined purity standards. These targets are manufactured from Tantalum with a purity of 99.95% to ensure a consistent chemical composition. Tantalum density increases sputtering efficiency and enhances adhesion of deposited layers. Tantalum's thermal stability permits the targets to tolerate high temperatures during sputtering, thereby supporting high-temperature processes. Under sputtering conditions, Tantalum's corrosion resistance preserves target integrity. Low impurity and gas contents in Tantalum contribute to consistent thin film deposition. The material’s machinability allows precise shaping to meet application-specific dimensions. These targets are used for depositing Tantalum layers in electronics, optics, thin-film solar cells and magnetic data storage. They are incorporated in sputter coating processes within the relevant industries.
