Tantalum deposition

Tantalum can be deposited by e-beam evaporation and sputter deposition. In the chart below you can compare the different deposition equipment.

You can read more about Ta sputter deposition here.

Comment Tantalum deposition heats the chamber* 3-inch Ta target

* The max thickness is limited to 200 nm as Ta deposition heats the chamber. If you wish to deposit more than that, it has to be done in several steps. The temperature on the back of a Si wafer rose to above 160 °C during deposition of 40 nm Ta even when using a cooling plate. If you wish to e-beam deposit Ta, please contact the Thin film group.
