This Lanthanum Fluoride powder requires moisture-controlled handling to prevent degradation during storage and loading. Deposition source hardware, including boat or crucible materials, must be selected to match the material's melting point and evaporation method.
- Moisture Sensitivity: Material requires moisture-controlled storage and handling to prevent degradation.
- Boat Material: Use tungsten, molybdenum, or tantalum boats for thermal evaporation.
- Crucible Material: Graphite or alumina crucibles are acceptable for thermal evaporation.
- E-Beam Evaporation: E-beam evaporation is available by RFQ and requires hardware compatibility confirmation.
- Process Matching: Deposition source geometry and process parameters must be matched to the material's melting point and film requirements.
What is the preferred evaporation method for Lanthanum Fluoride (LaF3) powder, and how does e-beam performance compare?
Thermal/resistive evaporation is the preferred method for LaF3 powder. Electron-beam (e-beam) evaporation is available by request for quotation (RFQ) and its performance is rated as 'Good'. The source also specifies that moisture-controlled handling is required during evaporation.
Which boat or crucible materials are compatible with LaF3 evaporation?
LaF3 evaporation is compatible with tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), or tantalum (Ta) boats, as well as graphite or alumina crucibles. The material requires moisture-controlled handling during evaporation.
What are the key physical properties of this LaF3 powder that affect deposition?
The LaF3 powder has a purity of 99.99%, a particle size range of 18-58 nm, a melting point of 1,490°C, and a density of approximately 6.0 g/cm³. These parameters influence source loading, evaporation rate, and film quality.
Lanthanum Fluoride (LaF3) evaporation material in powder form with 99.99% purity and 18–58 nm particle size offers high-purity feedstock for thermal resistive evaporation, but requires moisture-controlled handling and is preferentially suited to thermal evaporation over e-beam without RFQ.
Positive
- High purity 99.99%: The 99.99% purity level minimizes contamination during thin-film deposition, critical for optical and electronic applications requiring low defect densities.
- Defined nanoparticle size distribution: The 18–58 nm powder size range enables consistent source loading and evaporation rate control in thermal resistive evaporation processes.
Trade-offs
- Moisture-sensitive handling required: The material requires moisture-controlled handling and storage to prevent degradation or agglomeration, necessitating dry inert atmosphere or vacuum conditions.
- Limited evaporation method compatibility: Thermal/resistive evaporation is preferred; e-beam evaporation requires RFQ and specific boat or crucible materials (W/Mo/Ta or graphite/alumina), constraining deposition system flexibility.
