Name: Niobium target
Purity: 99.9%, 99.95%
Shape: flat target, cylindrical target, arc target, irregular target
The melting point of niobium is 2468 ℃, the boiling point is 4742 ℃, it is insoluble in water, and the density is 8.57g/cm ³, Atomic number 41, it is a gray white transition metal element. Niobium is a glossy gray metal, and high-purity niobium metal has high ductility, but it hardens with increasing impurity content. Niobium has a low capture cross-section for thermal neutrons, making it quite useful in the nuclear industry.
As a key component of niobium and its alloy films, niobium sputtering targets are widely used in color TFT LCD tablets, optical lenses, electronic imaging, information storage, solar cells, glass coatings, and in corrosion-resistant environments such as transportation and chemical production. Nowadays, niobium sputtering targets are mainly used as surface coatings for advanced touch screens, flat panel displays, and energy-saving glass, with anti reflection effects on glass screens.
