Low Temperature Single Filament Source

Low Temperature Single Filament Source

Low Temperature Single Filament Source

Product catalog summary
Overview
The Low Temperature Single Filament Source is designed to provide stable and consistent fluxes of high vapor pressure materials, particularly excelling at temperatures below 750°C due to its low thermal mass. It is enclosed in a heat-shielding package for optimal responsiveness and stability within the 100-750°C range.

Design and Functionality
This source features a modified single filament design that achieves hot-lip heating, which prevents material recondensation at the crucible orifice, thus avoiding source occlusion and beam shadowing. It is a cost-effective solution for low-temperature evaporation and is compatible with most MBE systems and custom UHV chambers.

Performance and Benefits
The source is tailored for evaporating high vapor pressure materials, offering rapid flux stabilization and excellent long-term flux stability. It includes two types of crucible inserts to enhance performance: Type A for reducing orifice size and increasing back pressure, and Type B for retaining subliming materials without recondensation.

Product Specifications
The source is available in various sizes (1cc to 125cc) and is recommended for use with materials typically evaporated or sublimed in the 100-750°C range. It features a Ta wire heater filament with PBN supports and a Type K thermocouple. The typical operating temperature is 100-750°C, with a maximum outgassing temperature of 1000°C.

Applications and Compatibility
The source is suitable for general-purpose applications, with recommendations for more demanding applications to use the Low Temperature Dual Filament or SUMO® Source. It is compatible with various systems, including Veeco's GEN II™, GEN III™, and others from manufacturers like Riber and VG Semicon.

Low Temperature Single Filament Source-1

Single Filament Source 1 6cc Low Temperature Single Filament Source. The Low Temperature Single Filament Source provides stable and consistent fluxes of high vapor pressure materials. Its performance below 750°C surpasses conventional sources because of its low thermal mass. The source is enclosed in a heat-shielding package designed for optimal source responsiveness and stability in the Temperature stability is critical with high vapor pressure materials, since even a small temperature variation produces a dramatic This source features a modified single filament design. It achieves hot-lip heating with a filament that uniformly heats the bottom portion of the crucible but includes extra filament density at the top to compensate for radiative heat loss at the orifice. Hot-lip heating eliminates material recondensation at the crucible orifice, which can lead to source occlusion and beam • Largest capacity • Shutter transients virtually material quality • Uniformity depends on fill level and crucible shape • Shutter transients reduced material quality • Uniformity depends on fill level and crucible shape • Shutter transients may exist material quality In comparison/ the SUMO Source is the best available source for non-valved evaporation of high vapor pressure materials. The Low Temperature Single Filament Source offers good performance and value for general purpose applications. For demanding applications, or when large source capacities are required, a Low Temperature Dual Filament or Low Temperature SUMO® Source is recommended. * Cost-effective solution evaporation with * Single filament hot-lip crucible orifice • Proven performance * Compatible with most
