20150152543 | SYSTEMS, DEVICES AND METHODS RELATED TO REACTIVE EVAPORATION OF REFRACTORY MATERIALS - Systems, devices and methods related to reactive evaporation of refractory materials. In some embodiments, a method for performing reactive evaporation can include positioning a volume of refractory material such as tantalum within an evaporation chamber and forming a vacuum environment therein. The method can further include providing a beam of electrons to the volume of refractory material to evaporate the refractory material into evaporated particles. The method can further include introducing a flow of reactive gas such as nitrogen into the evaporation chamber to allow at least some of the reactive gas to react with at least some of the evaporated particles of the refractory material. The flow of reactive gas can be selected such that a layer such as tantalum nitride formed on a substrate by deposition of the evaporated particles includes a range of a desirable property. | 06-04-2015 |
