For reasonable deposition rates, the vapor pressure must be ∼ 10 mTorr. This makes it nearly impossible ibl to evaporate some materials (refractory metals: Ta, W, Mo, Ti) Figure 12.2 Vapor pressure curves for some commonly evaporated materials (data adapted from Alcock et al.).

Deposition rate depends on position of wafer View factor, k depends on R, Θ, Φ Wafers directly above the crucible will be coated more heavily than wafers off to the side. Wafers can all be mounted on the surface of a sphere (planetary) for more uniform deposition.
