Evaporation Materials
Evaporation materials are used in physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes, especially in evaporative deposition. In this process, solid source materials are heated to evaporation temperature, turning into vapor that then condenses as a thin film on cooler substrates. The technique is widely used in semiconductors, optics, and various coating applications.
How They Are Used:
Using evaporation materials typically involves these key steps:-
Material Selection: Choose suitable materials based on desired film properties like purity, melting point, vapor pressure.
-
Source Preparation: Place material in an evaporation source like a boat, coil, or crucible.
-
Heating: Heat the material to its evaporation temperature using resistance heating, e-beam, lasers, etc.
-
Evaporation and Deposition: The evaporated vapor molecules migrate and condense on the substrate, forming the thin film.
-
Deposition Monitoring: Use sensors and instruments to monitor the deposition process for uniformity and quality.
Key Applications:
Evaporation materials have a wide range of applications including:-
Optical Coatings: Reflective and protective films on lenses, camera optics, telescopes, etc.
-
Semiconductors: Metal contacts and conductive pathways in ICs and microelectronics.
-
Decorative Coatings: Metallic aesthetic films on jewelry and fashion accessories.
-
Corrosion/Wear Resistance: Protecting industrial parts and tools, extending service life.
-
Solar Cells: Various thin films on photovoltaic cell panels.
Common Types:
There are many different types of evaporation materials, including:-
Metals: Al, Cu, Ti, Au, Ag.
-
Oxides: SiO2, TiO2, ZnO.
-
Sulfides: ZnS, CdS.
-
Rare Earths: Nd, Gd, Eu.
-
Alloys: NiCr, AlCu.
The choice depends on the target application and desired film properties like electrical, optical, mechanical, and chemical performance.
