Detailed Description
Electron beam evaporation has many advantages: (i) the electron beam source is capable of heating materials to much higher temperatures than is possible using a resistive boat or crucible heater, allowing for very high deposition rates and evaporation of high temperature materials and refractory metals such as tungsten, tantalum, or graphite; (ii) films deposited by electron beam evaporation can better maintain the purity of the source material; water cooling of the crucible tightly confines the electron beam heating to only the area occupied by the source material, eliminating any unwanted contamination from neighbouring components; (iii) finally, electron beam evaporation sources are available in a variety of sizes and configurations including single or multiple pockets.
