This evaporation material requires a water-cooled copper e-beam hearth with a compatible liner (graphite, Al2O3, BN, or Ta) for optimal deposition. The pellets are intended for E-beam evaporation under vacuum, with material properties (melting point 1852°C, density 6.49 g/cm³, Z-ratio 0.6) dictating process parameters.
- Deposition Source Compatibility: Confirm the evaporation source geometry and operation method (E-beam preferred) to ensure proper loading and evaporation of the 3-6 mm pellets.
- Liner Material Selection: Select a liner material (graphite, Al2O3, BN, or Ta) that is chemically compatible with zirconium at the evaporation temperature to avoid contamination or reaction.
What is the significance of the Z-Ratio of 0.6 for Zirconium evaporation pellets in e-beam deposition?
The Z-Ratio of 0.6 influences the calibration of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) rate monitors during e-beam evaporation, as it adjusts for the acoustic impedance mismatch between the deposited film and the crystal. For Zirconium (Zr) with a density of 6.49 g/cm³ and melting point of 1,852°C, this Z-Ratio ensures accurate thickness monitoring. The product specification lists a Z-Ratio of 0.6, which is standard for this material and must be entered into the deposition controller for precise film thickness control.
Which liner materials are compatible with Zirconium evaporation pellets for e-beam evaporation?
The Zirconium (Zr) pellets are compatible with graphite, Al2O3, BN, or Ta liners when used with a water-cooled copper e-beam hearth. E-beam evaporation is the preferred method, and the listed liner options correspond to standard refractory and ceramic materials that can withstand the 1,852°C melting point of Zr without contamination. Buyers should confirm liner compatibility with their specific deposition source geometry before ordering.
What procurement checks are recommended before ordering Zirconium evaporation pellets for laboratory use?
Before ordering, confirm the model (AF-ZRPEL-99536MM), purity (99.5%), form (Pellets), size range (3-6 mm), desired pack size (100g, 500g, or 1kg), and deposition-source compatibility—especially the liner material and hearth type. Additionally, review certificate of analysis, safety data sheet, shipment conditions, and export requirements to ensure they meet laboratory safety and handling protocols. The product page explicitly advises these checks to avoid procurement mismatches.
Zirconium (Zr) evaporation pellets at 99.5% purity and 3-6 mm size are suitable for E-beam thin-film deposition using water-cooled copper hearths; however, users must verify source compatibility and possess the expertise to handle the material's specific thermal and physical properties.
Positive
- Defined material identity and purity: Zirconium (Zr) with 99.5% purity ensures clear specification for thin-film deposition processes, enabling direct comparison with standard or high-purity grades.
- Optimized pellet size for E-beam evaporation: The 3-6 mm pellet form is compatible with water-cooled copper e-beam hearths and graphite/Al2O3/BN/Ta liners, facilitating controlled evaporation in vacuum systems.
Trade-offs
- Requires deposition-source compatibility verification: Buyers must confirm that the pellet dimensions and evaporation method (E-beam preferred) match their specific source geometry and liner materials to avoid process incompatibility.
- Requires process expertise for optimal use: The material's melting point (1,852°C), density (6.49 g/cm³), and Z-ratio (0.6) necessitate careful tuning of deposition parameters, requiring specialized knowledge of evaporation behavior.
