This evaporation material has a melting point of 30 °C, requiring storage below that temperature to maintain solid form. Deposition source compatibility must be confirmed with Mo, W, Ta boats or graphite/alumina crucibles.
- Evaporation Source Compatibility: Use molybdenum, tungsten, or tantalum boats or graphite or alumina crucibles for thermal evaporation to avoid chemical reaction or contamination.
- Evaporation Method Preference: Thermal/resistive evaporation is preferred; low-power electron-beam evaporation may be used with appropriate crucible material.
- Melting Point Constraint: Gallium melts at 30 °C, so the material must be stored and handled below this temperature to remain in solid shot form.
- Particle Size Suitability: Shots sized 1–5 mm are suitable for loading into standard evaporation sources without additional processing.
What evaporation method is preferred for Gallium (Ga) shots with 99.9999% purity?
Thermal/resistive evaporation is preferred due to gallium's low melting point of 30°C, which allows efficient vaporization at low power. Low-power e-beam evaporation is optional, using a Mo/W/Ta boat or graphite/alumina crucible.
What boat or crucible materials are compatible with gallium evaporation?
Gallium evaporation is compatible with molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), or tantalum (Ta) boats, as well as graphite or alumina crucibles. These materials resist wetting and corrosion by molten gallium, ensuring stable deposition.
How should gallium evaporation shots be stored given their low melting point?
Gallium has a melting point of 30°C, so it is solid at standard room temperature but can melt if ambient temperature exceeds this threshold. Store the shots in a cool, dry environment below 30°C to maintain the 1–5 mm shot form and prevent agglomeration during shipping or handling.
Evaluated for vacuum thin-film deposition: Gallium (Ga) evaporation material in shot form (1–5 mm) with 99.9999% purity. The low melting point (30 °C) enables low-power thermal evaporation but imposes careful temperature control during handling and restricts boat/crucible compatibility to Mo/W/Ta or graphite/alumina.
Positive
- Ultra-high purity 99.9999%: The 6N purity level minimizes contamination in deposited films, critical for sensitive electronic and optical thin-film applications.
- Shots 1–5 mm for easy loading: The specified shot size range facilitates uniform filling of thermal evaporation boats or crucibles, supporting consistent deposition rates.
Trade-offs
- Low melting point requires temperature control: With a melting point of 30 °C, gallium may become liquid at typical lab temperatures, necessitating cool storage and careful handling to avoid spillage or premature melting during loading.
- Restricted evaporation source compatibility: Evaporation hardware is limited to Mo/W/Ta boats or graphite/alumina crucibles; other metal boats or crucibles may react with gallium, degrading both source and material.
