This evaporation material requires deposition-source compatibility with Mo/W/Ta boat or graphite/alumina crucible. Thermal/resistive evaporation is preferred; low-power e-beam is optional and must be matched to material properties including melting point, density, and Z-ratio.
- Deposition-Source Compatibility: Use only Mo/W/Ta boat or graphite/alumina crucible for evaporation of this material.
- Evaporation Method: Prefer thermal/resistive evaporation; low-power e-beam is optional but requires process verification for this material.
- Material Properties: Melting point (157°C), density (7.3 g/cm³), and Z-ratio (0.841) must be considered for evaporation parameter optimization.
- Procurement Verification: Confirm model, purity, form, size range, and pack size before ordering to ensure deposition-source compatibility.
- Application Matching: Match deposition-source hardware and process route to the material's behavior and melting point for optimal film quality.
What is the significance of the Z-Ratio of 0.841 for indium evaporation material?
The Z-Ratio of 0.841 is a material-specific acoustic impedance factor used in quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) thickness monitoring to correct for the difference between the deposited film's acoustic properties and those of quartz. Accurate Z-Ratio input ensures precise film thickness control during deposition. This value is provided in the product specifications for indium shot.
What boat or crucible materials are recommended for evaporating indium shot?
Indium shot is compatible with molybdenum, tungsten, or tantalum boats, and graphite or alumina crucibles. The source specifies these as the evaporation source materials. Due to indium's low melting point of 157°C, thermal/resistive evaporation is the preferred method, but low-power e-beam evaporation is also possible.
What is the melting point of this indium evaporation material and how does it affect deposition parameters?
The melting point of this indium shot is 157°C, which is relatively low among metals. This low melting point allows for thermal evaporation at low power, reducing thermal stress on the substrate and source. It also means that resistive heating boats or crucibles operated at moderate temperatures are sufficient, and the material should be handled to avoid premature melting during storage or loading.
Indium shot (99.99%, 3–6 mm) is a high-purity evaporation material optimized for thermal or low-power e-beam deposition. Its low melting point (157 °C) and specified shot form require careful source compatibility verification and temperature-controlled handling.
Positive
- High purity 99.99%: The 99.99% purity specification supports consistent thin-film stoichiometry and reduces contamination risk in vacuum deposition processes.
- Controlled shot form 3–6 mm: The defined shot size range (3–6 mm) facilitates uniform source loading and predictable evaporation behavior in thermal or low-power e-beam systems.
Trade-offs
- Low melting point (157 °C): The low melting point necessitates careful temperature control during storage, handling, and transport to prevent unintended melting or agglomeration.
- Shot form – source compatibility required: The physical form as shot does not guarantee compatibility with all deposition source geometries; buyers must confirm boat, crucible, or feeder design before ordering.
