Product Code : EM-CeF3-5N-Cu
Cerium fluoride (CeF3) is a compound often used as a source of material for evaporation processes. It can be evaporated with a standard tungsten filament or a more specialized deposition system like an electron-beam evaporation tool. It is insoluble in water and most liquids but will dissolve in acids and alkaline solutions. It is also hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air. CeF3 is used in thin film deposition processes to create thin layers of insulation, electrical switching layers, and coatings for optical systems due to its ability to withstand high temperatures, low dielectric constants, and wide band gaps. CeF3 is usually one of the more expensive materials used in evaporation processes, but it is very versatile in its applications.
