Silver wire evaporation material requires compatibility with thermal resistive evaporation sources using W/Mo/Ta filaments, baskets, coils, or boats. Wire diameter and purity must be matched to source geometry and film requirements to avoid contamination or process failure.
- Source Material Compatibility: Use only W/Mo/Ta filaments, baskets, coils, or boats for thermal evaporation to prevent alloying or contamination.
- Diameter Check: Confirm wire diameter of 0.5 mm fits securely within the source cavity to ensure consistent evaporation rates.
- Process Parameter Matching: Match evaporation parameters such as temperature ramp rate and chamber pressure to the material's melting point (962°C) and Z-ratio (0.529) for reproducible film thickness.
- Documentation Review: Review certificate, safety data sheet, and shipment conditions for compliance with laboratory use requirements.
- Deposition Source Matching: Verify deposition source geometry and boat dimensions before loading to avoid material waste or source damage.
Why is the Z-ratio of 0.529 important for this silver evaporation material?
The Z-ratio of 0.529 is a critical parameter for quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) thickness monitoring during thermal evaporation. It represents the acoustic impedance ratio of the deposited material relative to quartz, directly affecting the accuracy of film thickness measurements. This value is specific to silver and must be programmed into the deposition controller to ensure precise film thickness control.
What evaporation source materials are compatible with this silver wire?
This silver wire is compatible with tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), and tantalum (Ta) filaments, baskets, coils, or boats for thermal/resistive evaporation. The choice of source material depends on the wetting behavior and melting point of silver (962°C).
What pack size is recommended for a typical laboratory deposition run?
Available pack sizes range from 25g to 1kg. The 25g pack is suitable for small-scale R&D or calibration runs, while 100g or 500g packs are typical for multiple deposition cycles. The indicative price per gram decreases with larger pack sizes: 25g at USD 450, 100g at USD 1050, 500g at USD 2900, and 1kg at USD 4400. Ensure the pack size matches your expected material consumption and deposition source loading capacity.
Silver (Ag) evaporation wire with 99.99% purity and 0.5 mm diameter is specified for thermal/resistive evaporation using W/Mo/Ta filament, basket, coil, or boat sources. The defined wire form and high purity enable consistent thin-film deposition in vacuum workflows, but buyers must confirm source geometry, pack size, and certificate requirements before ordering.
Positive
- Defined purity and wire geometry: 99.99% purity and 0.5 mm wire diameter provide reproducible source loading and evaporation behavior for vacuum thin-film deposition.
- Broad evaporation source compatibility: Compatible with W/Mo/Ta filament, basket, coil, or boat sources, offering flexibility in thermal/resistive evaporation system configuration.
Trade-offs
- Requires process-specific hardware: Designed exclusively for thermal/resistive evaporation; not directly usable in sputtering, e-beam, or other deposition methods without process adaptation.
- Procurement checks mandatory before order: Buyer must confirm deposition source geometry, pack size, certificate requirements, and shipment conditions, adding a verification step to procurement.
