Tantalum Sputtering Target Safety Data Sheet
High-Purity Tantalum for Advanced Thin Film Applications
Tantalum sputtering target is used in integrated circuits and Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display (TFT-LCD). SAM specializes in producing high-purity Sputtering Targets with the highest possible density and smallest possible average grain sizes.
Tantalum is a rare, hard, blue-gray, lustrous transition metal that is highly corrosion-resistant. It is part of the refractory metals group, which are widely used as minor components in alloys. The chemical inertness of tantalum makes it a valuable substance for laboratory equipment and a substitute for platinum.

High-performance tantalum sputtering materials are used for thin film coating applications, CD-ROM, decoration, flat panel displays, functional coating, as well as other optical information storage industries, glass coating industries like car glass and architectural glass, optical communication, etc.
Capacitors
About half the tantalum consumed each year is used within the electronics industry, mainly as powder and wire for capacitors. The tantalum capacitor is favored in space-sensitive, high-end applications in telecommunications, data storage, and implantable medical devices.
Semiconductors
Using the physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, the tantalum sputter target is “sputtered” onto semiconductor substrates to form a thin film diffusion barrier to protect the copper interconnects. Tantalum sputtering targets are used in a variety of other products, including magnetic storage media, inkjet printer heads, and flat panel displays.
Engine turbine blades
The metal’s high melting point and corrosion resistance make it suitable for alloying applications. Tantalum is used in nickel-based superalloys, where the principal applications are turbine blades for aircraft engines and land-based gas turbines.
Chemical processing equipment
Tantalum’s high resistance to corrosion and high temperature make the metal an ideal material for the construction of liners in vessels, piping, valves, and heat exchangers in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Chromium Cr Sputtering Targets are commonly available with indium bonding and elastomer bonding options. Copper bonding is also widely used and can be customized based on customer requirements.

It's a second purchase. As good as usual.
As advertised in the picture. Looks a little smalled than the picture, but is a bar of tantalum which is what I need and I don't care how it looks, so perfectly satisfied and price seemed good.
