Precautions

  1. Tris (cyclopentadienyl) yttrium must be stored in a sealed container filled with inert gas in a cool and dry environment away from fire and heat sources, and the integrity of the packaging must be checked regularly.

  2. It is strictly forbidden to store or contact it with water, oxidants, strong acids, alcohols and other substances to prevent violent chemical reactions and serious consequences.

  3. When handling YCp3, you must wear safety glasses, protective gloves and protective clothing, and operate in a well-ventilated fume hood to avoid generating dust or inhaling its vapor.

  4. Once leakage occurs, it should be immediately covered with dry inert adsorbent materials (such as sand, diatomaceous earth, etc.) under an inert atmosphere and carefully collected.

FAQ

1. What are the uses of tris(cyclopentadienyl) yttrium?

This compound is primarily used in the preparation of high-quality yttrium oxide thin films. It is also used in yttrium-doped materials, optoelectronic materials, nanomaterials, and other fields.


2. What is the common co-reactant used when depositing yttrium oxide thin films using YCp3?

Similar to most cyclopentadienyl metal precursors, a common co-reactant is an oxygen-containing source such as water, oxygen, or ozone.


3. What are the main differences between tris(cyclopentadienyl) yttrium (YCp3) and tris(methylcyclopentadienyl) yttrium (Y(MeCp)3)? How should one choose between them?

The main differences lie in volatility and thermal stability. Y(MeCp)3, due to the introduction of a methyl group, has higher volatility and better thermal stability, making it more suitable for MOCVD/ALD processes in industry, where stability and reproducibility are crucial. YCp3, as a base compound, is more commonly used in basic scientific research and process exploration. The choice depends on the specific application scenario and the required precursor performance.
