Abstract

A method () of cooling a deposition source () is described. The method includes stopping () depositing material from the deposition source, the deposition source being arranged in a deposition chamber (), and introducing () a cooling gas into the deposition chamber (), the cooling gas comprising a thermal conductivity λ of λ≥0.05 [W/(m*K)]. Further, a chamber for cooling a deposition source is described. The chamber includes a deposition source being arranged in the chamber. Further, the chamber includes a cooling gas supply system configured for providing a cooling gas into the chamber, the cooling gas comprising a thermal conductivity λ of λ≥0.05 [W/(m*K)].
