Erbium evaporation material is constrained to vacuum deposition using E-beam or thermal/resistive methods with specified source hardware. Material properties including melting point, density, and Z-ratio must be matched to the deposition process and film requirements.
- Evaporation Source Compatibility: Use Ta/W boat, Ta liner, or water-cooled e-beam hearth with liner as the evaporation source.
- Evaporation Method: Apply E-beam or thermal/resistive evaporation by RFQ for deposition.
- Material Properties Constraints: Melting point of 1529°C, density of 9.07 g/cm³, and Z-ratio of 0.74 influence process parameters and thickness monitoring.
- 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 for laboratory use.
What is the significance of 99.99% purity for erbium evaporation material in thin-film deposition?
The 99.99% purity ensures minimal contamination for high-quality films, allowing comparison with standard and high-purity grades. This product specifies 99.99% purity, which is critical for research-grade applications where film stoichiometry and electrical or optical properties must be precisely controlled.
Which evaporation source and method are recommended for erbium pieces?
Erbium pieces are compatible with e-beam or thermal/resistive evaporation using a Ta/W boat, Ta liner, or water-cooled e-beam hearth with liner. The selection should be based on the material's melting point of 1,529°C, density of 9.07 g/cm³, and Z-ratio of 0.74, and buyers must confirm deposition source geometry and process route before quotation.
How does the Z-ratio of 0.74 affect erbium evaporation process control?
The Z-ratio is a material-specific parameter used in quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) monitoring to correct film thickness readings. For erbium with a Z-ratio of 0.74, this value must be programmed into the deposition controller to ensure accurate thickness measurement and film reproducibility.
Erbium (Er) evaporation material in pieces (99.99%, 1–10 mm) offers defined purity and physical form suited for e-beam or thermal evaporation, with a melting point of 1,529°C and Z-ratio of 0.74 requiring careful source matching and process monitoring.
Positive
- High purity 99.99%: The 99.99% purity specification minimizes contamination in thin-film deposition, supporting consistent film stoichiometry for research-grade applications.
- Pieces 1–10 mm form: The piece size range of 1–10 mm facilitates controlled loading into evaporation sources such as Ta/W boats, Ta liners, or water-cooled e-beam hearths.
Trade-offs
- High melting point 1,529°C: The melting point of 1,529°C requires robust e-beam or thermal evaporation hardware capable of sustained high-temperature operation without degradation.
- Z-ratio 0.74 requires rate control: A Z-ratio of 0.74 deviates from unity, necessitating calibration of quartz crystal monitors for accurate film thickness control during deposition.
