ST0520 Tungsten Diboride Sputtering Target, W2B

Tungsten Diboride Sputtering Target Description

Tungsten is a rare metal found naturally on Earth almost exclusively combined with other elements in chemical compounds rather than alone. It was identified as a new element in 1781 and first isolated as a metal in 1783. Its important ores include wolframite and scheelite.

Tungsten has the highest melting point of all the elements discovered, melting at 3422 °C. It also has the highest boiling point, at 5930 °C. Its density is 19.25 times that of water, comparable to that of uranium and gold, and much higher (about 1.7 times) than that of lead. Polycrystalline tungsten is an intrinsically brittle and hard material (under standard conditions, when uncombined), making it difficult to work. However, pure single-crystalline tungsten is more ductile and can be cut with a hard-steel hacksaw.

Tungsten Diboride Sputtering Target Applications

1. Semiconductor Manufacturing: Tungsten diboride sputtering targets are used in the semiconductor industry for thin-film deposition processes. They are crucial for fabricating advanced semiconductor devices, including integrated circuits (ICs) and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The thin films produced from these targets act as conductive layers and are essential components in modern electronics.
2. Hard Coatings: WB2 thin films are known for their extreme hardness and wear resistance. They are applied as protective coatings on cutting tools, drills, and industrial equipment components. These coatings enhance the lifespan and performance of tools and machinery used in metalworking, machining, and other manufacturing processes.
3. Optical Applications: Tungsten diboride coatings are used in optics for applications such as improving the performance of optical lenses and mirrors. They can reduce glare, enhance reflectivity, and provide durability in optical systems. These coatings find applications in telescopes, cameras, and other optical devices.
4. Aerospace and Defense: WB2 sputtering targets are utilized in the aerospace and defense industries. They are employed to protect critical components in aircraft and spacecraft, such as turbine blades and nozzles, from high temperatures, oxidation, and wear. This ensures the reliability and longevity of aerospace components.
5. Energy Storage: Tungsten diboride is investigated for potential use in energy storage technologies, including lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. Its electrical conductivity and stability at high temperatures make it a candidate for improving the performance and safety of energy storage devices, which is important for renewable energy systems and electric vehicles.
