I would not allow Zinc in any system I ran at Binghamton University. I would not even allow it in the cleanroom. It represents a significant contamination risk for shared use facilities. If I were fortunate enough to have two systems, one clean and one "dirty", I might consider it in the dirty system. Its vapor pressure is so high I am not sure there is much you can do to cover it up with Ti.

Subject: [labnetwork] Question about DC sputtering of zinc
Howdy All from AggieFab,
We have a user who requested permission to sputter zinc in our shared Lesker PVD75 DC sputtering tool. On the Lesker website, there is the following note:
"This material has a relatively high vapor pressure at low temperatures which can cause ppm level contamination in the chamber and subsequent films. Careful consideration should be taken before this material is used in any deposition system. For this reason, some users prefer to use only dedicated vacuum chambers for deposition."
I'd like to ask the group if they allow zinc depositions in their shared tools if they follow it by a thorough paste with another material, like Ti? Or if this material is prohibited because it is problematic.
Thanks in advance for any inputs you may have.
Best,

Hi Labnetwork administrators,
Would it be possible to kindly ask those who post and who respond to include their affiliation in a signature block? It would be very helpful and instructive to know where and what type of institution was responding as that often matters, I.e. industry and academia are different, different regions have different needs, etc. You can't always tell the from tne email address or name alone.
Thank you,
Aimee

Hello,
Does anyone know of a business or other entity that does contract deposition
of SiO2 films on 300 mm wafers? I would like to have 50 nm SiO2 deposited by
PECVD on just two 300 mm Si wafers. It would need to be in a Au-free system.
Best,
Chris

Hi All,
Does anyone have a list of banned materials for sputtering they can share? I made a list over the years through discussions on labnetwork whenever a new material gets requested, see attached photo. It?ll be nice to have a publicly searchable database, similar to this google sheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1z0iyCsDUTpi6nkhtIxSp_rSMKGF4jeiqGbVRfnF5CRk).
Thanks,
Long
