Experience Unmatched Quality and Performance
Critical Iridium Applications in Memory and Hydrogen
Next-Generation Memory Electrodes
First of all, iridium thin film electrode layers are critical for advanced memory devices. Specifically, they serve as electrodes and barrier layers in DRAM and FRAM (Ferroelectric RAM) devices, offering the chemical stability and high work function needed to maintain performance in highly oxidizing fabrication environments.

Advanced Electronics
Furthermore, Iridium oxide electrocatalyst targets (IrO) are the state-of-the-art anode materials. Consequently, they are key components in the Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER), enabling efficient hydrogen production in Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers.
Aerospace Coatings
Moreover, Iridium’s resistance to heat and erosion makes it the material of choice for high-temperature iridium coating systems. For example, it is used for lining rocket engine combustion chambers and coating catalyst beds in satellite thrusters.
