Scandium Oxide (Sc2O3) evaporation material is supplied as a 99.99% pure powder with 325 mesh size for vacuum thin-film deposition. The material's performance is dependent on matching the evaporation source hardware and process route to its melting point and density.
- Deposition Source Compatibility: E-beam evaporation is preferred and performance is rated as Fair when using a hearth with graphite/Al2O3/BN liner or W/Mo/Ta boat; thermal evaporation requires RFQ.
- Material Purity and Form: The material is supplied as 99.99% pure powder with 325 mesh size for vacuum thin-film deposition.
- Process Matching Requirement: Evaporation source hardware and process route must be matched to the material's melting point (2,300°C) and density (3.86 g/cm³).
- Pre-Use Verification: Confirm model, purity, form, size range, pack size, and deposition-source compatibility before quotation.
Why is E-beam evaporation preferred over thermal evaporation for Scandium Oxide (Sc2O3) powder?
E-beam evaporation is preferred for Sc2O3 because its melting point of 2,300°C makes thermal evaporation difficult without a special RFQ configuration. The product specification lists E-beam evaporation as the standard method with a performance rating of 'Fair,' while thermal evaporation is only available by RFQ, indicating that E-beam is the recommended primary route for this material.
What crucible or liner materials are compatible with Sc2O3 evaporation in an E-beam system?
Sc2O3 should be evaporated using an E-beam hearth with a graphite, Al2O3, or BN liner, or alternatively with a W, Mo, or Ta boat. These liner and boat materials are specified to withstand the high melting point and chemical characteristics of Scandium Oxide during deposition.
What safety and documentation considerations apply to Scandium Oxide powder at 325 mesh?
Scandium Oxide powder at 325 mesh is a fine particulate that may require handling precautions to avoid dust inhalation. The product documentation includes a certificate of analysis and safety data sheet (SDS) that should be reviewed for laboratory-specific handling, storage, and shipment conditions before use.
Scandium Oxide (Sc2O3) evaporation material, supplied as 99.99% purity powder at 325 mesh, is evaluated for e-beam evaporation with fair performance using graphite/Al2O3/BN liners or W/Mo/Ta boats; thermal evaporation requires RFQ. The high melting point (2,300°C) and low density (3.86 g/cm³) impose specific source loading and process matching constraints.
Positive
- High purity and defined form: 99.99% purity with 325 mesh powder form enables consistent deposition source loading and clear procurement matching for thin-film workflows.
- Multiple pack size options: Available in 25g, 100g, 500g, and 1kg packs, allowing buyers to scale quantity to experimental or production needs without over-procurement.
Trade-offs
- Fair e-beam performance only: E-beam evaporation performance is rated as Fair, indicating potential limitations in deposition rate or film quality compared to higher-performing materials.
- Thermal evaporation requires RFQ: Thermal evaporation is not standard and requires a request for quotation, adding lead time and process validation steps for alternative deposition routes.
