    Introduction

    Molybdenum Oxide (MoO₃) sputter targets are used in thin-film deposition processes to create high-quality molybdenum trioxide (MoO₃) films, valued for their unique optical, electrical, and chemical properties. MoO₃ is deposited through reactive sputtering in an oxygen atmosphere, and the resulting films are used in a variety of applications, including electrochromic devices (e.g., smart windows), energy storage systems (like supercapacitors and batteries), catalysis (for oxidation and hydrogenation reactions), and semiconductor devices. The purity of MoO₃ sputter targets typically ranges from 99.95% to 99.999%, with higher purity levels providing better film quality and performance in sensitive applications. These targets are highly customizable in size and shape, ensuring compatibility with various deposition systems and applications.
