Material & Engineering Overview

Prepared specifically for high-vacuum electron-beam and resistive thermal evaporation, our 4N5 (99.995%) / 5N silicon dioxide (optical quartz) (SiO2, CAS 60676-86-0) deposition materials undergo vacuum degassing or high-temperature sintering to eliminate trapped volatiles and micro-voids that cause melt spitting and pinhole film defects.

Evaporate via electron-beam gun directly from a water-cooled copper hearth or molybdenum/graphite liner using a continuously swept defocused beam (SiO2 sublimes/melts locally). Supplied in cleanroom argon-flushed containers by weight (50 g to 1,000 g lots) or piece count, accompanied by the manufacturer's batch trace-impurity Certificate of Analysis.

Standard Shipment Documentation: Manufacturer Lot COA (ICP-OES / GDMS trace metal ppm breakdown for SiO2) and net-weight sealed lot label.

Primary Research & Industrial Applications

  • Universal low-refractive-index (n ~ 1.46) layer in UV/VIS/NIR optical interference coatings
  • Multi-layer dielectric laser mirrors, bandpass filters, and AR coatings (paired with TiO2/Ta2O5/HfO2)
  • Hermetic protective overcoats on optics and microelectronic sensors
  • Gate/passivation oxides via ion-assisted e-beam deposition (IAD)

Technical & Procurement FAQ

Which crucible liner or boat is recommended for evaporating silicon dioxide (optical quartz) (SiO2)?
Evaporate via electron-beam gun directly from a water-cooled copper hearth or molybdenum/graphite liner using a continuously swept defocused beam (SiO2 sublimes/melts locally).
How should SiO2 evaporation granules/pellets be pre-conditioned in the chamber?
Sweep a low-power defocused e-beam or low resistive boat current across the charge behind a closed shutter until chamber base pressure recovers before ramping to deposition rate.
What lot sizes are available for TB-EV-SIO2?
Standard research packs are quoted in 50 g, 100 g, 250 g, 500 g, and 1 kg sealed containers with full batch COA.
