Material & Engineering Overview

Prepared specifically for high-vacuum electron-beam and resistive thermal evaporation, our 4N (99.99%) / 4N5 Vacuum-Sintered tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5, CAS 1314-61-0) 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 e-beam from molybdenum, tungsten, or water-cooled copper pockets with controlled O2 backfill (or ion-assist) to maintain full optical transparency. 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 Ta2O5) and net-weight sealed lot label.

Technical & Procurement FAQ

Which crucible liner or boat is recommended for evaporating tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5)?
Evaporate via e-beam from molybdenum, tungsten, or water-cooled copper pockets with controlled O2 backfill (or ion-assist) to maintain full optical transparency.
How should Ta2O5 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-TA2O5?
Standard research packs are quoted in 50 g, 100 g, 250 g, 500 g, and 1 kg sealed containers with full batch COA.
