Niobium Carbide Sputtering Target
Description
Niobium is a silver-colored metal that is generally found in conjunction with tantalum, the two elements being separated by fractional crystallization of their respective fluoro-complexes. It has an abundance of 20 ppm in the earth’s crust. As a pure metal, it is very reactive and forms an extremely stable oxide when exposed to air which enhances its corrosion resistance. Niobium will react with a variety of non-metals at elevated temperatures.
Carbon is a chemical element that originated from the Latin ‘carbo’, meaning charcoal. It was early used in 3750 BC and discovered by Egyptians and Sumerians. “C” is the canonical chemical symbol of carbon. Its atomic number in the periodic table of elements is 6 with a location at Period 2 and Group 14, belonging to the p-block. The relative atomic mass of carbon is 12.0107(8) Dalton, the number in the brackets indicating the uncertainty.
