Aluminium,1% Copper (Al/Cu 99/1wt%) evaporation material requires careful selection of deposition source hardware and process route to ensure successful thin-film deposition. The alloy's melting point (640°C), density (2.82), and Z-ratio (1.00) must be matched to the evaporation method and source geometry.
- Deposition-source compatibility: Use Mo/W/Ta boat, graphite/alumina crucible, or e-beam hearth as the evaporation source, confirmed for compatibility with the material's melting point and form.
- Evaporation method matching: Match the thermal/resistive or e-beam evaporation method to the material's behavior and required film properties.
- Purity and composition verification: Verify the material composition (Al 99 wt%, Cu 1 wt%) and confirm purity requirements via RFQ before ordering.
- Physical form and size assessment: Ensure the 3-6 mm piece size is appropriate for the deposition source loading geometry and process parameters.
What are the key evaporation characteristics of the Al/Cu 99/1wt% alloy compared to pure aluminum?
The Al/Cu 99/1wt% alloy has a melting point of 640°C and density of 2.82 g/cm³, with a Z-Ratio of 1.00. This composition is designed for thermal/resistive or e-beam evaporation, and the 1% copper addition slightly alters the thermal properties relative to pure aluminum while maintaining a similar Z-Ratio for deposition monitoring.
What boat or crucible materials are compatible with evaporating this Al/Cu alloy?
The product description specifies compatibility with Mo/W/Ta boats, graphite/alumina crucibles, or e-beam hearths for thermal/resistive or e-beam evaporation. The melting point of 640°C allows use with standard refractory metal boats, but RFQ is required to confirm source geometry and process parameters due to the alloy composition.
What does 'total purity RFQ' mean for this evaporation material?
'Total purity RFQ' indicates that the exact overall purity level is not pre-specified and must be requested via quotation. The composition is fixed at Al 99 wt%, Cu 1 wt%, but the purity (including trace elements) is subject to discussion with the supplier to meet specific deposition requirements, typical for research-grade materials where custom purity levels are needed.
This Al/Cu 99/1 wt% alloy evaporation material in 3-6 mm pieces is evaluated for vacuum thin-film deposition, where the defined composition and piece form support controlled co-evaporation of aluminum with 1% copper doping, but the RFQ-grade purity and unspecified trace element profile require buyers to verify batch-specific impurity levels for sensitive electronic or optical film applications.
Positive
- Defined alloy composition for doping control: The specified Al 99 wt%, Cu 1 wt% composition provides a reproducible source for introducing controlled copper doping into aluminum films during thermal or e-beam evaporation, enabling precise stoichiometry in alloy thin-film deposition.
- Piece form compatible with multiple sources: The 3-6 mm pieces are sized for loading into Mo/W/Ta boats, graphite/alumina crucibles, or e-beam hearths, offering flexibility across common evaporation hardware without requiring custom feed mechanisms.
Trade-offs
- RFQ purity requires buyer verification: Total purity is listed as RFQ (request for quotation), meaning the exact impurity levels are not pre-specified; buyers must request and review certificate data to confirm suitability for applications with strict contamination limits.
- Melting point and density constrain process window: With a melting point of 640 °C and density of 2.82 g/cm³, the material requires careful evaporation rate control to avoid spitting or composition drift, particularly in e-beam systems where local heating can cause preferential evaporation of the lower-melting-point aluminum phase.
