Titanium Dioxide Sputtering
Target Description
Titanium dioxide sputtering target from Stanford Advanced Materials contains Ti and O. Titanium dioxide
, also known as titanium(IV) oxide or titania, is the naturally occurring oxide of titanium, chemical formula TiO2. Titanium dioxide occurs in nature as the minerals rutile and anatase, and additionally as two high pressure forms. One of these is a monoclinic baddeleyite-like form known as akaogiite, and the other is an orthorhombic α-PbO2-like form known as brookite, both of which can be found at the Ries crater in Bavaria. It is mainly sourced from ilmenite ore. This is the most widespread form of titanium dioxide-bearing ore around the world. Rutile is the next most abundant and contains around 98% titanium dioxide in the ore. The metastable anatase and brookite phases convert irreversibly to the equilibrium rutile phase upon heating above temperatures in the range 600–800 °C (1,112–1,472 °F).

Titanium Dioxide Sputtering Target Application
- Thin Film Coating: Titanium oxide TiO2 sputtering target is used for thin film deposition, typically for fuel cell, decoration, semiconductor, display, LED and photovoltaic devices, glass coating, etc.
- Paints and Coatings: Titanium dioxide provides opacity and durability, while helping to ensure the longevity of the paint and protection of the painted surface. Titanium dioxide is well-known for having a very high refractive index, and this has led to its common use in thin-film optics.TiO2 sputtering target is used for thin film deposition
- Plastics, Adhesives and Rubber: Titanium dioxide can help minimize the brittleness, fading and cracking that can occur in plastics and other materials as a result of light exposure.
- Cosmetics: Pigment-grade titanium dioxide is used in some cosmetics to aid in hiding blemishes and brightening the skin. Titanium dioxide allows for the use of thinner coatings of make-up material for the same desired effect. When used as a pigment, it is called titanium white, Pigment White 6 (PW6), or CI 77891.
- Paper: Titanium dioxide is used to coat paper, making it whiter, brighter and more opaque.
- Food Contact Materials and Ingredients: The opacity to visible and ultraviolet light offered by titanium dioxide protects food, beverages, supplements and pharmaceuticals from premature degradation, enhancing the longevity of the product. Specific classes of high purity pigment-grade titanium dioxide are also used in drug tablets, capsule coatings and as a decorative aid in some foods.
