Bismuth Antimony Telluride Sputtering Target Specifications

Bismuth is a chemical element originating from the German ‘Bisemutum’ a corruption of ‘Weisse Masse’ meaning white mass. It was early used in 1753 and discovered by C.F. Geoffroy. “Bi” is the canonical chemical symbol of bismuth. Its atomic number in the periodic table of elements is 83 with location at Period 6 and Group 15, belonging to the p-block. The relative atomic mass of bismuth is 208.98040(1) Dalton, the number in the brackets indicating the uncertainty.

Antimony is a lustrous gray metalloid, it is found in nature mainly as the sulfide mineral stibnite (Sb2S3). Antimony compounds have been known since ancient times and were powdered for use as medicine and cosmetics, often known by the Arabic name, kohl.[4] Metallic antimony was also known, but it was erroneously identified as lead upon its discovery. The earliest known description of the metal in the West was written in 1540 by Vannoccio Biringuccio. The industrial methods for refining antimony are roasting and reduction with carbon or direct reduction of stibnite with iron.

Tellurium is a chemical element that originated from Earth, the third planet in the solar system (with the Latin word tellus). It was first mentioned in 1782 and observed by F.-J.M. von Reichenstein. The isolation was later accomplished and announced by H. Klaproth. “Te” is the canonical chemical symbol of tellurium. Its atomic number in the periodic table of elements is 52 with location at Period 5 and Group 16, belonging to the p-block. The relative atomic mass of tellurium is 127.60(3) Dalton, the number in the brackets indicating the uncertainty.
