This evaporation material requires careful matching of deposition source hardware and process parameters to achieve consistent thin-film quality. The material's melting point, density, and Z-ratio must be incorporated into the evaporation recipe for accurate thickness control.
- Evaporation Source Compatibility: Evaporation source hardware must be compatible with Yb material, including Ta/W boat, Ta liner, or water-cooled e-beam hearth with liner.
- Process Parameter Adjustment: Process parameters must be adjusted using the material's melting point (819°C), density (6.96 g/cm³), and Z-ratio (1.13) for accurate deposition rate and thickness control.
- Material Verification: Material purity (99.99%) and physical form (pieces 1-10 mm) must be verified to ensure consistent evaporation behavior.
- Documentation Review: Certificate of analysis and safety data sheet should be reviewed prior to handling to confirm storage and safety conditions.
Follow these steps to properly prepare and use the Yb evaporation material for thin-film deposition. Ensure all procurement checks and parameter matching are completed before starting the evaporation process.
Required Equipment: Ta/W boat, Ta liner, Water-cooled e-beam hearth with liner
- Confirm Material Compatibility
Confirm the material model, purity, form, size range, pack size, and deposition-source compatibility before use. - Review Documentation
Review the certificate of analysis, safety data sheet, shipment conditions, and export requirements for the Yb material. - Match Process Parameters
Match the evaporation source hardware and process route to the material's melting point (819°C) and Z-ratio (1.13) for optimal film deposition.
What evaporation methods and source hardware are recommended for Ytterbium pieces of 1-10 mm size and 99.99% purity?
Ytterbium evaporation material in this form factor is compatible with E-beam or thermal/resistive evaporation by RFQ. The recommended source hardware includes Ta/W boat, Ta liner, or water-cooled e-beam hearth with liner, as specified in the product documentation.
What is the melting point and density of Ytterbium evaporation material, and how do they affect deposition conditions?
The melting point is 819 °C and the density is 6.96 g/cm³. These values influence the evaporation rate, source temperature requirements, and film growth characteristics, and should be matched to the deposition system's capabilities.
What is the Z-ratio of Ytterbium and why is it relevant for thin-film deposition monitoring?
The Z-ratio is specified as 1.13. This parameter is essential for accurate quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) calibration during evaporation, as it corrects for the acoustic impedance mismatch between the deposited material and the quartz crystal sensor.
This Ytterbium evaporation material offers 99.99% purity in 1-10 mm pieces, enabling controlled thin-film deposition via e-beam or thermal evaporation, though its low melting point (819°C) and density (6.96 g/cm³) require careful source matching and pre-purchase compatibility verification.
Positive
- High-purity 99.99% Yb material: The 99.99% purity specification enables controlled deposition of Ytterbium films with minimal contamination, suitable for research-grade thin-film applications.
- Controlled piece size for loading: The 1-10 mm piece size range facilitates consistent loading into evaporation sources such as Ta/W boats, Ta liners, or water-cooled e-beam hearths, supporting reliable deposition runs.
Trade-offs
- Low melting point requires source matching: Ytterbium has a melting point of 819°C, which necessitates careful matching of evaporation source hardware (e.g., Ta/W boat, Ta liner, or water-cooled e-beam hearth with liner) to avoid thermal damage or process instability.
- Pre-quotation compatibility checks required: Buyers must confirm deposition source geometry, pack size, certificate requirements, and shipment conditions before quotation, as per the procurement check note, adding an upfront coordination step.
