Indium wire for thermal evaporation requires strict source material compatibility and process parameter control. The low melting point and Z-ratio demand careful calibration to avoid film defects and contamination.
- Source Material Compatibility: Indium wire must be loaded into evaporation sources constructed from tungsten, molybdenum, or tantalum to prevent contamination and ensure thermal stability.
- Melting Point Consideration: The melting point of 157°C requires precise temperature ramping to avoid premature melting or spitting during evaporation.
- Z-Ratio Correction: The Z-ratio of 0.841 must be applied to quartz crystal microbalance thickness monitor settings for accurate film thickness measurement.
- Wire Diameter for Loading: The 1.0 mm wire diameter should be confirmed compatible with the source filament, basket, or coil geometry for proper feeding and contact.
- Purity Grade for Film Quality: The 99.999% purity grade minimizes incorporation of metallic impurities into the deposited thin film.
What is the melting point of indium evaporation material and how does it influence the evaporation process?
The melting point of indium is 157°C, which is relatively low compared to many metals. This allows efficient thermal evaporation at lower temperatures, reducing thermal stress on the source and minimizing contamination risks. The product is designed for use with tungsten, molybdenum, or tantalum filaments, baskets, coils, or boats, as specified in the technical data.
What deposition source materials are compatible with the 1.0 mm indium wire?
The indium wire is compatible with thermal evaporation sources made of tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), or tantalum (Ta), including filaments, baskets, coils, and boats. The 1.0 mm diameter wire form is suitable for loading into these sources, but users should verify the source geometry and confirm compatibility with their specific hardware before ordering.
What purity and pack size options are available for this indium evaporation wire?
The indium wire is supplied at 99.999% purity (5N), suitable for research-grade thin-film deposition. Available pack sizes are 25g, 100g, 500g, and 1kg, with a minimum order quantity of 25g. Indicative pricing tiers are 25g at USD 290, 100g at USD 650, 500g at USD 1700, and 1kg at USD 2400, allowing researchers to scale up cost-effectively.
This 99.999% pure indium wire (1.0 mm dia.) is suitable for thermal evaporation in W/Mo/Ta sources, offering high purity for thin-film applications, but its low melting point (157°C) requires careful temperature control and source geometry verification.
Positive
- High purity 99.999%: The 99.999% purity specification minimizes contaminant incorporation into deposited thin films, critical for optoelectronic and semiconductor applications.
- Compatible with multiple source types: Suitable for thermal/resistive evaporation using W, Mo, or Ta filaments, baskets, coils, or boats, providing flexibility in deposition system integration.
Trade-offs
- Low melting point requires precise control: With a melting point of 157°C, the material liquefies quickly, demanding careful power management to avoid uncontrolled evaporation and ensure consistent deposition rates.
- Wire form requires source geometry verification: The 1.0 mm diameter wire form may not be compatible with all deposition source geometries; buyers must confirm fit with their specific filament, basket, coil, or boat before ordering.
