Scandium Fluoride

Scandium fluoride is used as a high-purity sputtering target material for the deposition of thin films in optical and microelectronic applications.

Used as a low-refractive index material for multilayer optical coatings, particularly in the ultraviolet and deep-ultraviolet (DUV) spectrum due to its high transparency.

Utilized as a source material for physical vapor deposition (PVD) to create protective and functional thin films on optical components.

Serves as an intermediate in the production of metallic scandium through calcium reduction processes.
