Tantalum

Tantalum is present in only 2% of the Earth's crust. Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, it is widely used in capacitors, heat-resistant high-strength materials and high-end materials such as semiconductor materials.

Tantalum has moderate hardness, ductility, small coefficient of thermal expansion and high corrosion resistance. For nearly half a century, tantalum has been used in many advanced fields because of its excellent properties. Among them, the largest use of capacitors is the field, according to relevant data, accounting for more than 1/3. At the same time, tantalum is also widely used in the field of heat-resistant and high-strength materials such as electronics, aerospace and military engines, rockets and missiles, and is an indispensable strategic raw material for the development of electronics industry and space technology. So far, no alternative has been found that is more cost-effective than tantalum.

Tantalum is also a semiconductor metal, mainly used in semiconductor sputtering targets. Sputtering targets must meet high purity (above 99.9995%), good physical and chemical stability, and good sputtering performance. Based on the above characteristics, semiconductor targets mainly include ultra-high purity aluminum targets, titanium targets, tantalum targets, etc. Tantalum targets and rings are the necessary barrier layer film materials in the 90-3nm advanced process, which is mainly used in the most cutting-edge chip manufacturing process. Therefore, tantalum targets and rings are the most sophisticated products with the highest technical difficulty and the highest quality consistency requirements for target manufacturing.

Fortu Tech can produce and process tantalum target, tantalum plate, tantalum rod, tantalum wire, tantalum sheet, tantalum foil, tantalum processing workpiece.
