Ytterbium Fluoride Evaporation Materials, YbF3

Ytterbium Fluoride (YbF3), also known as Ytterbium trifluoride, is a crystalline ionic compound. It is slightly soluble in water. Ytterbium Fluoride is widely used in fluoride glass.

Among optical film materials, yttrium fluoride (YbF3) has good light transmittance and low refractive index for ultraviolet to far infrared light (0.2~15μm), so it is often used as a low in the development of mid-infrared multilayer films.

Applications:

• Used in deposition processes including semiconductor deposition, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and physical vapor deposition (PVD)

• Used for optics including wear protection, decorative coatings, and displays.
