Target Lifetime Calculator
This simple-to-use estimator helps in planning deposition runs in thermal or e-beam evaporation. Besides approximating total thickness that can be deposited from a charge, thickness uniformity and utilization (amount of material that ends up on the substrate) are provided.
Don’t forget to check out our webstore for sputtering targets and evaporation material.
Footnotes
Fill fraction assumes a solid fill
Calculations assume a cos(theta) distribution of evaporation plume
Thickness uniformity is based on an axially located source
