semiconductor· Ta2 O5
Tantalum pentoxide (Ta₂O₅) is a wide-bandgap ceramic oxide semiconductor with high refractive index and excellent dielectric properties. It is primarily used in thin-film capacitors, optical coatings, and integrated circuit applications where its stability, high permittivity, and resistance to corrosion are valuable; it is also under investigation for next-generation photoelectrochemical devices and advanced gate dielectrics in microelectronics where it offers advantages over traditional silicon dioxide in miniaturized components.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
