xCell Lab 3N (99.9%) Silicon Nitride (Si₃N₄) Pieces – High-Purity Evaporation Material
High-Purity Silicon Nitride for Thin-Film Deposition and High-Temperature Applications
General Description
Cell Lab 3N (99.9%) Silicon Nitride (Si₃N₄) Pieces are high-performance ceramic evaporation materials designed for thin-film coating, semiconductor processing, and optical applications. Known for their exceptional hardness, chemical stability, and high melting point (~1900 °C), these materials ensure consistent, contamination-free evaporation in both thermal and e-beam deposition systems.
Their fine purity and controlled particle size (1–3 mm or 3–6 mm) make them ideal for producing high-quality nitride coatings, barrier layers, and dielectric films across semiconductor, optical, and aerospace industries.
Key Features
-
High Purity 99.9% (3N) – Ensures minimal contamination during evaporation or sputtering processes.
-
Excellent Thermal Stability – Withstands temperatures up to 1900 °C with low thermal expansion.
-

FAQ
Q1: Why is Si₃N₄ preferred for evaporation applications?
Silicon nitride combines high strength and thermal shock resistance, allowing uniform evaporation and reliable thin-film formation even under extreme temperatures.
Q2: What crucibles are suitable for Si₃N₄ evaporation?
Alumina, tungsten, boron nitride, or graphite crucibles are recommended for optimal thermal performance and material compatibility.
Q3: Can I request a customised size or purity?
Yes, Cell Lab offers tailored dimensions, particle size, and purities (up to 4N) to meet specific R&D or production requirements.
Q4: What are typical use cases in the semiconductor industry?
Si₃N₄ is commonly used in dielectric coatings, passivation layers, and optical interference films.
