Copper Nitride, Powder, 99.9%, -200 mesh

Copper nitride is used as a sputtering target material to create thin films for optical data storage and as a precursor for high-purity copper layers in microelectronics.

Thin films of Cu3N are utilized in optical coatings due to their tunable refractive index and potential for laser-induced decomposition into metallic copper.

Cu3N is investigated as a metastable semiconductor for use in solar cells and as a barrier material in integrated circuits.
