This product is a pure metal evaporation material in wire form intended for vacuum thin-film deposition. Optimal film quality requires precise matching of deposition source hardware and process parameters to the material's melting point and Z-ratio.
- Evaporation Source Compatibility: The wire must be used exclusively with thermal/resistive evaporation sources constructed from tungsten, molybdenum, or tantalum filaments, baskets, coils, or boats.
- Wire Diameter Constraint: The 1.0 mm wire diameter must be verified against the source geometry to ensure proper loading and uniform evaporation.
- Process Parameter Matching: The melting point of 420°C and Z-ratio of 0.514 must be used to calibrate evaporation rate and film thickness monitoring.
- Purity and Contamination Control: The 99.99% purity specification requires handling procedures that prevent surface oxidation or contamination before deposition.
What evaporation source materials are compatible with this 99.99% zinc wire, and are there any constraints?
The zinc wire is compatible with thermal/resistive evaporation using W (tungsten), Mo (molybdenum), or Ta (tantalum) filaments, baskets, coils, or boats. The product description explicitly states that deposition-source compatibility must be confirmed before ordering, and the wire diameter of 1.0 mm should be matched to source geometry to ensure proper loading and evaporation performance.
How does the 99.99% purity of this zinc wire influence thin-film deposition quality for research applications?
The 99.99% (4N) purity ensures minimal contamination for high-quality thin films, making it suited for research-grade vacuum deposition. The specification allows direct comparison between standard and high-purity grades, and the material is intended for laboratory procurement where material identity and purity must be confirmed before ordering.
What handling or storage considerations apply to this zinc evaporation wire given its low melting point and potential reactivity?
The product documentation includes a safety data sheet that should be reviewed for handling and storage recommendations. Zinc has a melting point of 420°C and a density of 7.14 g/cm³; the Z-ratio of 0.514 is relevant for thickness monitoring. While the source does not specify explicit storage conditions, standard precautions for reactive metals in wire form (1.0 mm diameter) suggest storage in a dry, inert atmosphere to prevent surface oxidation.
Zinc wire (99.99%, 1.0 mm diameter) for thermal evaporation, compatible with W/Mo/Ta filament, basket, coil, or boat sources; includes Z-ratio of 0.514 for quartz crystal thickness monitoring, available in 100g–1kg packs.
Positive
- High purity 99.99%: The 99.99% purity specification minimizes contamination in deposited films, ensuring reproducible electrical and optical properties in research and device fabrication.
- Z-ratio provided for process control: The specified Z-ratio of 0.514 allows precise thickness monitoring using quartz crystal microbalances, reducing calibration errors during thermal evaporation.
Trade-offs
- Fixed wire diameter of 1.0 mm: The product is supplied only as 1.0 mm diameter wire, which may not be compatible with all evaporation source geometries; users requiring other diameters must source alternative forms.
- Thermal/resistive evaporation only: The wire form and evaporation source recommendations are limited to thermal/resistive methods; the product is not specified for electron beam or sputtering deposition.
