This material requires E-beam evaporation using a graphite, Al2O3, or BN liner or a tungsten, molybdenum, or tantalum boat. Thermal evaporation is permitted only by RFQ and requires deposition-source compatibility validation.
- Evaporation Method Preference: E-beam evaporation is the preferred method for this material.
- Liner and Boat Compatibility: Use a graphite, Al2O3, or BN liner for E-beam hearths, or a tungsten, molybdenum, or tantalum boat for thermal evaporation.
- Melting Point Constraint: Melting point of 1,984°C must be within the operating range of the deposition source.
- Density Consideration: Density of 6.67 g/cm³ affects material loading mass and evaporation rate consistency.
- Z-Ratio Calibration: Z-ratio of 1.00 is required for accurate quartz crystal microbalance film thickness monitoring.
Can NiO pellets be used in thermal evaporation systems, or is E-beam evaporation required?
E-beam evaporation is the preferred method for NiO pellets. Thermal evaporation is possible by RFQ (request for quotation) using an E-beam hearth with a graphite/Al2O3/BN liner or a W/Mo/Ta boat. The material's melting point of 1,984°C and density of 6.67 g/cm³ support E-beam evaporation, while thermal evaporation may require additional process optimization.
What is the significance of the 10 µm pellet size for NiO evaporation material?
The 10 µm pellet size is specified to facilitate uniform source loading and controlled evaporation rates during vacuum deposition. This particle size range supports consistent feed into E-beam hearths or boats and helps ensure repeatable film thickness and composition.
What is the Z-ratio of NiO and how does it affect thin-film deposition monitoring?
The Z-ratio of NiO is 1.00, which is the standard value for quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) thickness monitoring. This means the acoustic impedance of NiO matches that of the quartz crystal, simplifying tooling factor calibration and improving accuracy of in-situ film thickness measurements during deposition.
Nickel Oxide (NiO) pellets (99.5%, 10 µm) are specified for E-beam evaporation with defined liner/boat material compatibility; thermal evaporation requires RFQ. The high melting point (1,984°C) and density (6.67 g/cm³) demand careful source matching for reliable thin-film deposition.
Positive
- Defined material identity and purity: Nickel Oxide (NiO) with 99.5% purity provides a clear specification for deposition process matching and comparison with standard or high-purity grades.
- Specified pellet form with 10 µm sizing: The pellet form with 10 µm particle size facilitates consistent source loading and evaporation behavior in E-beam systems.
Trade-offs
- E-beam evaporation preferred; thermal by RFQ: Thermal evaporation is not standard; buyers requiring thermal deposition must request a quotation for process compatibility and hardware matching.
- Evaporation source hardware matching required: The deposition source liner or boat material (graphite, Al2O3, BN, W, Mo, Ta) must be selected to withstand the high melting point (1,984°C) and chemical reactivity of NiO.
