BISMUTH ANTIMONIDE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

99.99% pure crystal(s); used as a semiconductor material in the form of a single crystal(s) [HAW93] [ALF93]

Uses

Bismuth antimonide (BiSb) is not really a compound but single crystals of the alloy of bismuth and antimony. The crystals are used as semiconductors in the electronics industry and to produce type for printing presses and low-melting-point electrical fuses.

Uses

Bismuth antimonide (BiSb) can be used in the formation of a thin film based thermopile for the fabrication of heat power sensors for biochemical applications. It can also be used as an active element in the designing of a photo-thermoelectric sensor.
