HTEZ 40-10-S, high temperature effusion cell on DN40 (O.D.2.75")
CF-flange, for 10 cm³ crucible and with integrated shutter

• Compatible with all MBE systems
• Various crucible sizes and materials,
  crucible capacities 1.5, 10, 35 cm³
• Self-supporting tungsten wire-heater
• Clean operation in UHV up to 1900°C
• High reliability and long lifetime
• Compact cell design
• Cell option with integrated cooling shroud and shutter

The High Temperature Effusion Cell - HTEZ - is designed for clean UHV operation up to 1900°C.

This is achieved with a self-supporting tungsten filament. The schematic drawing shows the main parts of the HTEZ heating system. Compared with the HTS source, the deep crucible also allows operation in angled port positions. It is mostly heated from the side, combining large crucible volume with high temperature operation.

Similar to our standard WEZ heating system, only selected refractory metals are used in the hot zone. Due to the high operation temperature the filament is made of tungsten and direct contact between filament and insulation parts is avoided. Additional insulating PBN ceramic plates are shielded by tantalum plates to prevent outgassing during operation. The thermocouple is mounted close to the crucible.

The HTEZ from MBE-Komponenten GmbH is highly efficient, provides a very reproducible temperature measurement and precise regulation. The well designed self-supporting tungsten filament is stable and guarantees a long lifetime.

Main parts of the HTEZ, schematic

The design of our HTEZ allows to use ceramic crucibles (e.g. Al₂O₃, BeO) directly mounted in the cell without an outer tungsten crucible. Thus higher evaporation material temperatures can be achieved in the crucible.

The smaller crucible version (1.5 cm³) of the HTEZ allows to build the cell mounted in a cooling shroud with shutter on a DN40 (O.D.2.75") CF-flange, with a maximum outer diameter in UHV of 36 mm. This compact high temperature effusion cell is shown in the picture on the right.

For larger cells separate cooling shrouds are recommended to avoid overheating of stainless steel parts within the UHV chamber during operation. Optionally the larger cells are delivered with an integrated shutter on the cell flange.

with on DN40 CF flange integrated water cooling shroud and shutter,
with 1.5 cm³ Al₂O₃ crucible

Application

The HTEZ is designed for low vapour pressure elements and compounds evaporated or sublimated at temperatures up to 1900 °C, e.g. materials like Fe, Cr, Ni, Co, Cu, Pt, Ti, etc.
For evaporation of Fe, Ni or Co we provide a special designed source with BeO crucible.

Technical Data

Crucibles

Standard crucible sizes for our HTEZ are 1.5, 10 and 35 cm³. Other shapes and dimensions on request.
We provide different crucible materials such as Al₂O₃, BeO, Ta, W, special lined pyrolytic graphite (PG) and pyrolytic boron nitride (PBN). Examples are shown in the picture nearby. The maximum operating temperature of the HTEZ may be reduced depending on the crucible material, e.g. for PBN max. 1500°C. With some evaporants cell operation is limited to temperatures <1900°C due to interactions with crucible material.
For detailed information see page "Crucibles".

The second number in our Product-code is the crucible capacity [in cm³], adding C for conical shape. Please specify crucible material when ordering!
