Indium pellets require thermal/resistive evaporation using a Mo/W/Ta boat or graphite/alumina crucible with a melting point of 157°C. The Z-ratio of 0.841 must be calibrated for deposition rate monitoring in vacuum thin-film systems.
- Evaporation Source Compatibility: Use only Mo/W/Ta boats or graphite/alumina crucibles to avoid contamination and ensure proper wetting.
- Evaporation Method Preference: Thermal/resistive evaporation is preferred; low-power e-beam may be used only with compatible source materials.
- Pellet Size Constraint: The 1-3 mm pellet size is suitable for standard boat and crucible loading; larger sizes may require pre-melting.
- Melting Point Consideration: The low melting point (157°C) requires careful temperature control to avoid spitting or uneven evaporation.
- Z-Ratio Calibration: The Z-ratio of 0.841 must be entered into the deposition controller for accurate film thickness monitoring.
What is the melting point of this indium evaporation material and how does it affect deposition process parameters?
The melting point is 157°C. This low melting point makes indium well-suited for thermal/resistive evaporation at low power, and it can be evaporated from Mo/W/Ta boats or graphite/alumina crucibles. The Z-ratio of 0.841 should be used for quartz crystal microbalance thickness monitoring calibration.
Can indium pellets with 99.99% purity be used in e-beam evaporation systems?
Thermal/resistive evaporation is the preferred method, but low-power e-beam evaporation is optional when using Mo/W/Ta boats or graphite/alumina crucibles. The low melting point of 157°C requires careful power control to avoid premature melting and droplet formation.
What handling and storage precautions are recommended for indium evaporation pellets?
The product is supplied as 1-3 mm pellets at 99.99% purity. While the description does not specify explicit storage conditions, the certificate and safety data sheet (SDS) can be reviewed for laboratory-specific handling, storage, and shipment requirements. Standard practice for high-purity metals includes storage in a dry, inert atmosphere to minimize oxidation.
This Indium evaporation material offers 99.99% purity in pellet form (1-3 mm) for thermal/resistive evaporation, with a low melting point of 157°C requiring careful process control.
Positive
- High 99.99% purity specification: The 99.99% purity level ensures minimal contamination in thin-film deposition, supporting consistent film stoichiometry and electrical properties.
- Controlled pellet size for loading: The 1-3 mm pellet form facilitates uniform loading into Mo/W/Ta boats or graphite/alumina crucibles, improving evaporation rate consistency.
Trade-offs
- Low melting point requires thermal control: With a melting point of 157°C, the material is prone to premature melting or splattering if ramp rates are not carefully managed, especially in resistive evaporation setups.
- Limited e-beam compatibility: The material is optimized for thermal/resistive evaporation; low-power e-beam is only optional, restricting its use in high-power or high-rate e-beam deposition systems.
