This material is a high-purity nickel oxide powder for vacuum thin-film deposition using electron-beam evaporation. Its use requires specific evaporation source hardware and process parameter matching to ensure proper film deposition.
- Deposition Source Compatibility: The powder must be loaded in an E-beam hearth with a graphite, Al2O3, or BN liner, or in a W, Mo, or Ta boat, and thermal evaporation requires a quotation.
- Melting Point Constraint: The material's melting point of 1,984°C demands that the evaporation source and liner materials withstand extremely high temperatures.
- Particle Size Consideration: The 3 µm powder particle size influences loading density and evaporation behavior, requiring careful source loading to avoid spitting or contamination.
- Z-Ratio Calibration: A Z-ratio of 1.00 must be used for quartz crystal microbalance calibration during deposition rate monitoring.
- Purity Handling: The 99.995% purity specification necessitates clean handling procedures to prevent contamination during loading and deposition.
Why is e-beam evaporation preferred over thermal evaporation for NiO powder with a melting point of 1,984°C?
E-beam evaporation is preferred because NiO has a melting point of 1,984°C, which requires the localized high-energy heating of an e-beam for controlled evaporation. Thermal evaporation is only possible by RFQ and typically requires a compatible liner such as graphite, Al2O3, or BN, or a W/Mo/Ta boat, as specified in the product's evaporation source guidelines.
How does the 3 µm particle size of NiO powder affect loading and evaporation in an e-beam hearth?
The 3 µm powder form is specifically sized to facilitate source loading and uniform evaporation in e-beam systems. The fine particle size ensures consistent packing and thermal contact, critical for stable deposition rates. The product is designed for e-beam evaporation using a hearth with graphite/Al2O3/BN liner or W/Mo/Ta boat, as noted in the technical specifications.
What safety documentation is available for handling NiO powder with 99.995% purity?
The product includes a certificate of analysis and safety data sheet (SDS) that can be reviewed for laboratory use requirements. Buyers should confirm shipment conditions and export restrictions before ordering, as indicated in the procurement check and documentation review notes.
Nickel Oxide (NiO) evaporation material supplied as 99.995% pure 3 µm powder, optimized for E-beam evaporation with graphite/Al2O3/BN liners or W/Mo/Ta boats; thermal evaporation requires RFQ. The defined particle size and high purity support reproducible thin-film deposition in vacuum coating workflows.
Positive
- High purity specification: 99.995% purity ensures minimal contaminant introduction during evaporation, critical for applications requiring defined film stoichiometry and low defect density.
- Defined particle size: Powder with 3 µm particle size provides consistent source loading and predictable evaporation behavior, reducing batch-to-batch variability in thin-film deposition.
Trade-offs
- E-beam evaporation preferred: Thermal evaporation requires RFQ and is not a standard option; E-beam with specific liner materials (graphite, Al2O3, BN) or refractory metal boats (W, Mo, Ta) is required for proper processing.
- High melting point constraint: Melting point of 1,984°C demands robust evaporation hardware and precise temperature control, limiting compatibility with lower-temperature thermal sources.
