Cell Lab 3N (99.9%) Tin Oxide (SnO₂) Pieces Evaporation Materials [3–12 mm]

High-Purity SnO₂ for Thin-Film, Photovoltaic, and Ceramic Coating Applications

General Description

Cell Lab 3N (99.9%) Tin Oxide (SnO₂) Pieces are high-purity evaporation materials designed for optical coating, transparent conductive film deposition, and advanced ceramic processing.
SnO₂ is a colourless, diamagnetic, amphoteric oxide that exhibits excellent thermal stability and strong adhesion to glass, metal, and ceramic substrates. It is widely used in the production of gas sensors, transparent electrodes, and electroluminescent devices.
When doped with elements such as antimony (Sb) or fluorine (F), tin oxide films achieve high conductivity while maintaining optical transparency, making them indispensable for photovoltaic cells, flat-panel displays, and optoelectronic components.

Key Features

  • High Purity (99.9%) – Guarantees consistent evaporation and minimal contamination.

  • Wide Application Range – Suitable for optical coatings, conductive films, and gas-sensing devices.

  • Excellent Chemical Stability – Resistant to most acids and solvents, ensuring long service life.

  • Compatible with Various Evaporation Systems – Performs excellently in both thermal and E-beam setups.

  • Customisable Size and Quantity – Available in 3–12 mm pieces, with bulk and custom orders upon request.

FAQ

Q1: What makes SnO₂ ideal for transparent conductive coatings?
Doped tin oxide films maintain high optical transparency while providing electrical conductivity, making them ideal for solar cells and display panels.

Q2: What evaporation method is recommended?
SnO₂ can be evaporated using tungsten boats, coils, or baskets; Al₂O₃ crucibles are also suitable for stable performance.

Q3: Can SnO₂ be used in E-beam systems?
Yes. SnO₂ has excellent compatibility with E-beam evaporation, producing uniform and adherent thin films.

Q4: Are customised sizes or doped variants available?
Yes. Cell Lab provides tailored dimensions and doped variants such as FTO (fluorine-doped tin oxide) and ATO (antimony-doped tin oxide) for specific research needs.
