This material requires matching to specific deposition source hardware and liners for optimal evaporation. Process compatibility must be verified before quotation and use.
- Deposition Source Compatibility: Use an E-beam hearth with graphite, Al2O3, or BN liner, or a W, Mo, or Ta boat for evaporation.
- Evaporation Method Preference: E-beam evaporation is the preferred method; thermal evaporation requires a quotation to confirm compatibility.
- Procurement Verification: Confirm model, purity, form, size range, pack size, and deposition-source compatibility before ordering.
- Documentation Review: Review certificate, safety data sheet, shipment conditions, and export requirements against laboratory use requirements.
Why is the 40-50 nm particle size important for e-beam evaporation of this ZrO2 powder?
The 40-50 nm particle size is specified to support uniform source loading and consistent evaporation behavior during e-beam deposition. This range reduces the risk of splattering from larger particles and incomplete evaporation from finer dust, ensuring reliable film thickness control as stated in the product's technical specifications.
Can this ZrO2 powder be used with thermal evaporation, or is it only compatible with e-beam?
E-beam evaporation is the preferred method with good performance using a graphite/Al2O3/BN liner or W/Mo/Ta boat. Thermal evaporation is possible but requires a request for quotation (RFQ) to confirm compatibility with the specific source geometry and liner material, as indicated in the product's evaporation source specifications.
What does a Z-Ratio of 1.00 mean for process control when depositing ZrO2?
A Z-Ratio of 1.00 indicates that the acoustic impedance of ZrO2 matches that of the quartz crystal monitor, allowing direct film thickness readout without tooling factor corrections. This simplifies process calibration and improves reproducibility, as the product's Z-Ratio is explicitly listed as 1.00.
This Zirconium Oxide (ZrO2) evaporation material in powder form with 99.9% purity and 40-50 nm particle size is evaluated for E-beam evaporation deposition, where its high melting point (~2,700°C) and density (5.89 g/cm³) require specific hearth liners (graphite, Al2O3, BN) or refractory metal boats (W, Mo, Ta) to prevent contamination and ensure stable evaporation rates.
Positive
- High-purity 99.9% ZrO2 powder: The 99.9% purity specification minimizes film contamination from trace metals or oxides, critical for optical coating and dielectric layer applications where stoichiometry and defect density directly affect performance.
- Controlled 40-50 nm particle size: The narrow 40-50 nm particle size distribution promotes uniform source loading and consistent evaporation rates in E-beam systems, reducing the risk of spitting or non-uniform film thickness during deposition.
Trade-offs
- High melting point requires specific hardware: With a melting point of ~2,700°C, this material demands E-beam evaporation with graphite, Al2O3, or BN liners, or W/Mo/Ta boats; thermal evaporation is only available by RFQ and may not be feasible without specialized crucibles.
- Powder form requires careful handling: The powder form with 40-50 nm particle size is prone to airborne dispersion and moisture adsorption, necessitating inert-atmosphere storage and handling to maintain purity and prevent agglomeration before deposition.
