General description

Tantalum pentoxide is dielectric in nature making it useful for making capacitors in the electronics industry.

Application

Tantalum oxide is intermixed with silicon in gate dielectric structures. It may be used to synthesize hexagonally packed mesoporous tantalum oxide molecular sieves.Ion-beam sputter deposition of tantalum oxide films was investigated for possible optical coating applications.It may be used in making optical glass for lenses and in electronic circuits.

Tutorial in Microelectronics and Nanoelectronics

As the electronic industry continues to move towards smaller and smaller devices, researchers must continually strive for technologies to deposit electronic materials with precision at ever-smaller scales. This trend has lead to a variety of techniques used in the microelectronics industry to layer materials with precision thicknesses, sometimes down to even the atomic level.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
