    Tantalum pentoxide, also known as tantalum (V) oxide, is the inorganic compound with the formula Ta2O5. It is a white solid that is insoluble in all solvents but is attacked by strong bases and hydrofluoric acid. Ta2O5 is an inert material with a high refractive index, and low absorption (i.e. colorless), making it useful for coatings. It is also extensively used to produce capacitors due to its high dielectric constant.
    Owing to its high band-gap and dielectric constant, tantalum pentoxide has found various uses in electronics, particularly in tantalum capacitors. These are used in automotive electronics, cell phones, pagers, electronic circuitry, thin-film components, and high-speed tools. In the 1990s, interest grew in tantalum oxide as a high-k dielectric for DRAM capacitor applications. It is used in on-chip metal-insulator-metal capacitors for high-frequency CMOS integrated circuits.
    Due to its high refractive index, Ta2O5 has been utilized to produce the glass of photographic lenses.

    Tantalum Oxide Powder Applications

    Tantalum oxide is intermixed with silicon in gate dielectric structures. It may be used to synthesize hexagonally packed mesoporous tantalum oxide molecular sieves. Ion-beam sputter deposition of tantalum oxide films is investigated for possible optical coating applications. It may be used in making optical glass for lenses and in electronic circuits.
