The Tin Selenide (SnSe) Target stands out due to its unique blend of structural integrity, electrical efficiency, and thermal characteristics, making it indispensable in thin film deposition processes. SnSe crystallizes in an orthorhombic layered structure, which facilitates anisotropic charge transport and exemplary thermoelectric performance. Manufactured with a high purity level of ≥99.9%, the SnSe target minimizes contamination during sputtering, ensuring high-quality thin films. With a melting point of approximately 861 °C and a density around 6.18 g/cm³, SnSe allows for uniform film deposition. Its semiconducting nature, featuring a narrow and adjustable bandgap (~0.9-1.3 eV depending on crystallographic orientation), provides precise control over the electronic and optical properties of the deposited films. Additionally, SnSe boasts low thermal conductivity and a high Seebeck coefficient, making it ideal for efficient energy harvesting applications. The target’s mechanical robustness and chemical compatibility with a variety of substrates further enhance its suitability for high-efficiency thermoelectric, optoelectronic, and photovoltaic devices.

Chemical Properties:
Tin is a soft, malleable, silvery-white metal with atomic number 50, belonging to Group 14 of the periodic table. It has a relatively low melting point of approximately 231.9 °C and a density of 7.31 g/cm³. Renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance, tin forms a protective oxide layer that prevents further oxidation, making it ideal for coating other metals to prevent rusting (e.g., tin-plated steel). Tin is also a crucial component in various alloys, such as bronze (with copper) and solder (with lead or silver). Its good electrical conductivity and chemical stability support its use in electronics, coatings, and advanced materials.
