ABSTRACT:
Methods to form metal oxide material are described. In one process, an oxide film on a metal material is diffused throughout the metal material to form a preferred uniform metal oxide material. The present invention further relates to products formed by the process. Also, the present invention relates to the use of the products in capacitor anodes and other applications.
