Lithium Carbonate Sputtering
Target Description
Lithium carbonate sputtering target is a white sputter target with the formula Li2CO3. It is widely used in the processing of metal oxides.
Lithium is a chemical element originated from the Greek ‘lithos’ meaning stone. It was first mentioned in 1817 and observed by A. Arfwedson. The isolation was later accomplished and announced by W. T. Brande. “Li” is the canonical chemical symbol of lithium. Its atomic number in the periodic table of elements is 3 with location at Period 2 and Group 1, belonging to the s-block. The relative atomic mass of lithium is 6.941(2) Dalton, the number in the brackets indicating the uncertainty.
Carbon is a chemical element originated from the Latin ‘carbo’, meaning charcoal. “C” is the canonical chemical symbol of carbon. Carbon has a hexagonal crystal structure. It has superimposed countless parallel layers. The carbon atoms in each layer are distributed on the top corners of the regular hexagonal plane, forming an ordered arrangement in a three-dimensional space. It has good electrical and thermal conductivity, good electrical and thermal conductivity, chemical stability, and lubricity.
