• Tantalum Oxide (Ta2O5) General Description:

Tantalum oxide, Ta2O5, is a high-index, low-absorption material usable for coatings in the near-UV (350 nm) to IR (~8 µm) regions. Dense layers can be deposited by electron-beam evaporation or sputtering. It usually decomposes at 1470 deg. C.

• Tantalum Oxide (Ta2O5) Typical Chemical Purities Available:

99.0% to 99.997%

• Tantalum Oxide (Ta2O5) Typical Granulations Available:

Targets, tablets, single crystal, pieces, and powder sized as small as 0.65 microns

• Tantalum Oxide (Ta2O5) Typical Physical Constants:

• Tantalum Oxide Powder (Ta2O5) Typical Applications:

a) Tantalum pentoxide finds applications in diverse fields such as electronics, chemical processing, carbide tools; steel & super alloy industry, etc. The major part of Tantalum pentoxide is consumed by tool industries. The Tantalum pento-oxides are also used widely in electronics industries. High purity tantalum pentoxide is used for the preparation of lithium tantalite single crystals

           b) Ferroelectric properties:

      1) Because the index below wavelengths 300 nm is greater than 2, it can sometimes be combined in multilayers with silicon dioxide (n = 1.48) for UV laser applications. Hard, scratch-resistant and adherent coatings can be deposited.

    2) Tantalum oxide films are also sometimes used for dielectrics in film capacitors and as gate insulators in large scale integrated circuits requiring low leakage voltage characteristics.
