This material requires moisture-controlled handling to prevent absorption and degradation. It must be evaporated using compatible boat or crucible materials such as tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, graphite, or alumina.
- Moisture Sensitivity: Store and handle under moisture-controlled conditions to avoid material degradation.
- Evaporation Source Compatibility: Use with W/Mo/Ta boat or graphite/alumina crucible for thermal evaporation; e-beam evaporation requires RFQ confirmation.
- Thermal Evaporation Method: Thermal resistive evaporation is preferred; e-beam evaporation is acceptable upon RFQ and yields excellent film performance.
- Melting Point Constraint: The material melts at 1261°C, requiring an evaporation source capable of reaching and sustaining this temperature.
- Physical Form Handling: The 3 mm pieces should be loaded into sources that accommodate piece-form evaporation material.
Can Magnesium Fluoride (MgF2) evaporation pieces be used with e-beam evaporation, and what is the expected performance?
Yes, e-beam evaporation is possible by RFQ, and the e-beam performance is rated as Excellent. The preferred method is thermal/resistive evaporation using a W/Mo/Ta boat or graphite/alumina crucible. Moisture-controlled handling is required for all methods.
What crucible or boat materials are recommended for evaporating MgF2 pieces at 99.95% purity?
The recommended evaporation sources are tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), or tantalum (Ta) boats, or graphite or alumina (Al2O3) crucibles. The source explicitly lists these as compatible hardware options. Moisture-controlled handling is also specified.
Why is moisture-controlled handling necessary for MgF2 evaporation material?
Moisture-controlled handling is required because MgF2 is hygroscopic and can hydrolyze upon exposure to ambient humidity, which can degrade the material quality and subsequently affect thin-film deposition outcomes. The product specification explicitly mandates moisture-controlled handling to maintain material integrity.
This MgF2 evaporation material (99.95% purity, 3 mm pieces) is optimized for thermal or resistive evaporation with excellent e-beam performance using W/Mo/Ta boats or graphite/alumina crucibles, but requires moisture-controlled handling and e-beam deposition by RFQ.
Positive
- High purity 99.95% MgF2: Specified 99.95% purity enables consistent optical and mechanical properties in deposited thin films, reducing batch-to-batch variability.
- Excellent e-beam performance: Rated excellent for e-beam evaporation using W/Mo/Ta boats or graphite/alumina crucibles, providing reliable deposition with common hardware.
Trade-offs
- Moisture-sensitive handling required: Moisture-controlled handling is specified to prevent MgF2 hydrolysis, which can degrade film quality and require dry storage or glovebox conditions.
- E-beam by RFQ only: E-beam evaporation is not standard; it must be requested via quotation, adding lead time and potential minimum order considerations.
