Wz. Wang et al., DIRECT ATOMIC FLUX MEASUREMENT OF ELECTRON-BEAM EVAPORATED YTTRIUM WITH A DIODE-LASER-BASED ATOMIC-ABSORPTION MONITOR AT 668 NM, Applied physics letters, 71(1), 1997, pp. 31-33
A direct measurement of atomic flux in e-beam evaporated yttrium has b
een demonstrated with a diode-laser-based atomic absorption (AA) monit
or at 668 nm. Atomic number density and velocity were measured through
absorption and Doppler shift measurements to provide the atomic flux.
The AA-based deposition rates were compared with independent quartz c
rystal monitors showing agreement between the two methods. (C) 1997 Am
