Evaporation Sources
Crucibles
We offer a wide range of crucibles for both thermal and e-beam evaporation. Our crucibles are available in various materials to suit your specific needs. Additionally, we also have HTE (high temperature evaporation) and LTE (low temperature evaporation) crucibles for thermal evaporation sources that require extreme temperature conditions.
Boat Sources
Boats come in a wide range of sizes, dimensions, and materials. You can find boats in different lengths, widths, and thicknesses. Additionally, there are various shapes and configurations to choose from.
Micro-Electronics Evaporation Sources
If you have limited space or power in your system, micro-electronic sources are a great choice. We have a wide range of smaller sources that are designed to be compact and efficient, just like our larger evaporation sources. Most of the sources in this section are a little less than 2.00 inches long.
Thermal Filament Sources
If you’re looking for a cost-effective, user-friendly thermal evaporation source that you can use for a short period of time, filament sources are a great choice. They’re commonly used for flash evaporation with wires or canes. Filament sources are available in various configurations and can be single or multi-stranded.
Thermal Rod Sources
These rods are specifically designed to provide you with the best results when it comes to adhesion layers. And if you prefer tungsten rod sources wrapped with tungsten wire, we’ve got you covered there too. We offer a wide variety of options to ensure you have exactly what you need for your project.
Basket Heaters
Basket heaters are a convenient option for loading material directly into the basket without the need for a crucible. These heaters are typically made from tungsten wires, either single or multi-stranded. In addition, there are also alumina coated basket heaters available for materials that can alloy with refractory metals.
Crucible Heaters
When it comes to depositing different materials, crucible heaters with crucibles are a great choice. They allow you to load more material compared to a regular boat source. You can choose from basket heaters made from stranded tungsten wire or shielded crucible heaters that heat up more efficiently.
Box Sources
Box furnaces come in different designs to suit your needs. These furnaces are specifically designed to prevent splattering when heating certain materials. The baffles in the furnaces block the direct view between the material being heated and the surface it is resting on.
Alumina Coated Evaporation Sources
Alumina-coated evaporation sources have been created as a substitute for alumina crucibles in certain specialized applications.
Evaporation sources play a crucial role in thin film deposition processes, enabling the controlled evaporation of materials for coating applications. These sources come in various forms, each designed to meet specific needs in thermal and e-beam evaporation. From crucibles and thermal filament sources to basket heaters and alumina-coated evaporation sources, the selection of the right source ensures efficiency and precision in material deposition.
Crucibles, available in materials suited for high and low-temperature applications, provide a stable platform for material evaporation. Boat sources and box sources offer versatile options for different deposition environments, with boats available in multiple sizes and configurations, while box sources help prevent splattering during heating. Micro-electronics evaporation sources cater to systems with limited space, providing compact and efficient solutions.
For applications requiring enhanced control over adhesion layers, thermal rod sources—including tungsten rods wrapped with tungsten wire—are ideal. Basket heaters, made from tungsten wire, allow direct material loading without the need for a crucible, while crucible heaters enhance deposition efficiency by offering better heat distribution. Additionally, alumina-coated evaporation sources serve as specialized alternatives to alumina crucibles in select applications.
Choosing the appropriate evaporation source depends on factors such as material compatibility, deposition precision, and system constraints. With a diverse range of options, these sources ensure optimal performance in thin film deposition processes across various industries.
