This material requires e-beam evaporation using a water-cooled copper hearth with a compatible liner material. The 1-3 mm pellets have a melting point of 1852°C, density of 6.49 g/cm³, and Z-ratio of 0.6, which influence deposition parameters.
- Evaporation Method: E-beam evaporation is the preferred deposition method for this material.
- Hearth and Liner Compatibility: Use a water-cooled copper e-beam hearth with a compatible liner made of graphite, Al2O3, BN, or Ta.
- Pellet Size Constraint: The 1-3 mm pellet size must be compatible with the source loading mechanism of the evaporation system.
- Melting Point Consideration: The melting point of 1852°C must be considered when setting the electron beam power for evaporation.
- Z-Ratio Calibration: A Z-ratio of 0.6 is used to calibrate the deposition rate controller for accurate film thickness monitoring.
What is the Z-ratio of zirconium evaporation material?
The Z-ratio for zirconium is 0.6. This specification is provided for process control in e-beam evaporation systems, where it is used to calibrate quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) thickness monitors for accurate film deposition rate measurement.
Which liner materials are compatible with zirconium evaporation in a water-cooled copper e-beam hearth?
Compatible liner materials include graphite, Al2O3 (alumina), BN (boron nitride), and tantalum (Ta). These liners are suitable for the high-temperature evaporation of zirconium at its melting point of 1,852°C.
What is the preferred evaporation method for zirconium pellets and why?
E-beam evaporation is the preferred method for zirconium pellets. With a melting point of 1,852°C, e-beam evaporation achieves the necessary high temperatures while the water-cooled copper hearth prevents crucible failure, and compatible liners ensure chemical stability.
Zirconium (Zr) evaporation pellets (99.99%, 1-3 mm) offer high purity and controlled particle size for e-beam deposition, but require specific source hardware (water-cooled copper hearth with compatible liners) and high power due to the elevated melting point.
Positive
- High Purity (99.99%) for Consistent Deposition: The 99.99% purity specification minimizes contamination risk in thin-film applications, ensuring reproducible film properties.
- Defined Pellet Size (1-3 mm) for Uniform Evaporation: The controlled pellet dimensions facilitate consistent source loading and stable evaporation rates in e-beam processes.
Trade-offs
- Requires Specific E-Beam Source and Liners: Optimal performance requires a water-cooled copper e-beam hearth with compatible liners (graphite, Al2O3, BN, Ta), limiting direct use with other evaporation methods.
- High Melting Point Demands Significant Power: With a melting point of 1,852°C, this material requires high-power e-beam capability and careful thermal management, which may exceed standard lab evaporator specifications.
