Cabot Supermetals, a business unit of Cabot Corporation, announced that it will build a new 90,000 sq. ft. facility for manufacturing tantalum sputtering targets and high performance materials for use in semiconductor, optics, magnetics and flat panel display thin film applications. Scheduled to be operational by early 2004, the facility will be located east of Columbus, OH, in Etna Corporate Park. Cabot will invest nearly $12 million in the facility and employ more than 50 people when the site is fully operational. This facility will position Cabot as the only manufacturer of tantalum that is vertically integrated from raw material to the finished sputtering target. Ohio-based Southgate Corporation is the project developer.
Tantalum is an essential material that allows faster speed and low power consumption in electronic components. Thin films of tantalum metal enable the use of copper metal interconnections between transistors in electronic devices.
