FABMATE® Crucibles for E-Beam Sources

Overview

FABMATE® material = 99.9995% elemental carbon.

  • FABMATE shows a 0% erosion rate after (15) one-hour soak cycles in 10% hydrofluoric acid, and a 0% erosion rate after (20) one-hour soak cycles in a 70% combination nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid
  • Alternative to troublesome materials such as quartz
  • A high-strength graphite that has undergone purification, machining, and subjection to a proprietary carbon modification treatment from Poco Graphite, Inc.
  • Has amorphous carbon in the first few layers of pores and an abrasion-resistant, virtually particle-free surface
  • Acid resistant and exceptionally durable
  • Remain thermally stable (up to 2500º C in inert atmospheres)

Materials that work with FABMATE:

  • Materials demonstrating optimum performance with FABMATE crucibles include Ag, As, Au, Ga, GeO2, Ni-Cr alloys, Pb, Se, Sn, Te, and TiO
  • Material with which FABMATE demonstrates a prolonged crucible life: Al
  • Materials requiring FABMATE, but good for only a single run: Fe, Ni, and Si
  • FABMATE also works well with all materials listed under graphite crucibles

NOTE: We offer FABMATE in the same models/dimensions as the standard graphite crucibles.

Common Causes of Crucible Breakage

  1. The ramp/soak levels are wrong for that material. A recipe for e-beam consists usually of two ramp/soak power levels. This allows for the gradual heating of the material to a point where deposition can start. When deposition starts there is a transfer of power control from the ramp/soaks to a PID loop control between the e-gun power supply and the quartz crystal controller. If ramp2/soak2 power level is not near the power level to hit the specified deposition rate (say 1 Angstrom/sec) this means the PID loop must try very hard or search very hard to try and get rate. Since the PID loop is in control of the power, power can oscillate dramatically (+90% to 0%) for a while before the PID loop finally gets the power at the right level to control at that 1 Angstrom/sec rate. Wild swings in power rapidly liquefy and then condense the material several times even before the deposition starts. This will crack any crucible. It is best to get the ramp2/soak 2 power level very close to the power needed to hit the desired rate. This way when the PID loop takes over control, it does not need to adjust power that much to hit rate - just a slight tweak. This prevents this rapid liquefy/condense process from occurring. So incorrect Ramp levels can definitely cause crucible cracking.

  2. The second reason is much easier - the user shuts the power supply off or has a very short ramp down time for power after the deposition is done. This causes the rapid solidification of the melt, and this stresses out the crucible liner.
