This material is compatible with water-cooled copper e-beam hearths and liners made of graphite, Al2O3, BN, or Ta to ensure proper evaporation and avoid contamination. The melting point of 1,852°C and Z-ratio of 0.6 are critical parameters for calibrating deposition thickness and power settings.
- Source and Liner Compatibility: Confirm the evaporation source geometry and liner material are compatible with the zirconium pellets to avoid reactivity or thermal mismatch.
- Melting Point Consideration: The melting point of 1,852°C influences the required e-beam power and heating rate for stable evaporation without spitting or contamination.
- Z-Ratio Calibration: Enter the Z-ratio of 0.6 into the deposition controller to properly correct for the material's acoustic impedance for accurate thickness monitoring.
- Purity and Form Factor: The 99.5% purity and pellet form factor (1-3 mm) are suitable for controlled feeding in e-beam evaporation crucibles, but the size must match the crucible pocket dimensions.
- Pack Size Selection: Select the appropriate pack size based on the required coating thickness and substrate area to ensure sufficient material for a single run without frequent reloads.
Is this Zirconium evaporation material suitable for thermal evaporation, or is it specifically designed for e-beam evaporation?
The product is optimized for e-beam evaporation, as indicated by the preferred evaporation method and the specified water-cooled copper e-beam hearth with compatible liners (graphite/Al2O3/BN/Ta). The high melting point of 1,852°C further supports the use of e-beam evaporation, which can achieve the necessary temperatures for stable deposition.
What liner materials are compatible with the e-beam evaporation of Zirconium pellets?
The product description specifies that graphite, Al2O3, BN, and Ta liners are compatible with the water-cooled copper e-beam hearth. These materials are selected to withstand high temperatures and minimize contamination during evaporation.
What are the density and melting point of the Zirconium pellets, and how do they influence deposition process parameters?
The density is 6.49 g/cm³ and the melting point is 1,852°C. These values are critical for calculating material load, thickness monitoring, and selecting appropriate evaporation conditions. The Z-ratio of 0.6 is also provided to assist with quartz crystal microbalance calibration.
Zirconium (Zr) evaporation pellets at 99.5% purity and 1-3 mm size are specified for e-beam evaporation with water-cooled copper hearths or compatible liners, offering a defined material identity and form for thin-film deposition. The 1,852°C melting point and 0.6 Z-ratio must be matched to deposition source hardware and process parameters.
Positive
- Defined purity and form: 99.5% purity and pellet form with 1-3 mm size ensure clear procurement matching and consistent source loading for e-beam evaporation workflows.
- Compatible evaporation hardware: Explicitly compatible with water-cooled copper e-beam hearths and graphite/Al2O3/BN/Ta liners, reducing trial-and-error in source selection.
Trade-offs
- Deposition source geometry confirmation required: Buyers must confirm that the 1-3 mm pellet size and source geometry (e.g., hearth dimensions, liner type) are compatible with their specific deposition system before ordering.
- High melting point demands robust e-beam capability: Zirconium's melting point of 1,852°C requires high-power e-beam evaporation equipment and may limit use with lower-temperature deposition sources or substrates.
