Scandium Oxide

Used as a high-index component in multilayer optical coatings and as a precursor for producing metallic scandium.

High-purity scandium oxide targets are used in physical vapor deposition to create thin films for high-power laser coatings and semiconductors.

Utilized for its high refractive index and transparency from the UV to the near-IR range in specialized optical filters and mirrors.

Used as a source material in electron-beam evaporation processes to deposit protective and functional dielectric layers.
