Deposition of Nb

Niobium can be deposited by e-beam evaporation or sputtering. In the chart below you can compare the deposition equipment.

E-beam evaporation (Temescal) Sputter deposition (Lesker) Sputter deposition (Sputter-system Metal-Oxide (PC1) and Sputter-system Metal-Nitride (PC3))
General description E-beam deposition of Nb

(line-of-sight deposition)

Sputter deposition of Nb

(not line-of-sight deposition)

Sputter deposition of Nb

(not line-of-sight deposition)

Pre-clean Ar ion bombardment RF Ar clean RF Ar clean
Layer thickness 10Å to 200 nm* 10Å to 600 nm** ask staff, probably similar to old Lesker sputter system
Deposition rate 0.5Å/s to 5Å/s ~1Å/s ? Probably similar to old Lesker sputter system
Batch size
  • Up to 4x6" wafers
  • Up to 3x8" wafers (ask for holder)
  • smaller pieces
  • smaller pieces
  • Up to 1x6" wafers
  • Up to 10x4" or 6" wafers
  • Many smaller pieces
Allowed materials
  • Silicon
  • Silicon oxide
  • Silicon (oxy)nitride
  • Photoresist
  • PMMA
  • Mylar
  • SU-8
  • Metals
  • Almost any that do not outgas.


Comment Substrates get heated during the deposition.

For 100 nm Nb at 2 Å/s, the substrate reached about 105 °C.

* To deposit layers thicker than 200 nm permission is required to ensure that there is enough metal (contact metal@nanolab.dtu.dk)

** To deposit layers thicker than 600 nm permission is required to ensure that there is enough metal (contact metal@nanolab.dtu.dk)
