High-Purity ZnO Source for Thin Film and Semiconductor Applications
Cell Lab 3N (99.9%) Zinc Oxide (ZnO) Pieces are precision-grade evaporation materials designed for thin-film deposition, semiconductor device fabrication, and photonic applications.
As a member of the II–VI semiconductor group, ZnO features a wide direct band gap (3.4 eV), excellent optical transparency, high electron mobility, and strong photoluminescence. These properties make ZnO a critical material for transparent conductive films, LEDs, photodetectors, and sensor technologies.
With outstanding thermal and chemical stability, ZnO performs consistently in vacuum evaporation, sputtering, and CVD processes, making it an essential material for modern nanotechnology and energy research.
High Purity (99.9%) – Ensures low impurity content and stable film quality.
Wide Band Gap Semiconductor – Suitable for transparent electronic and optoelectronic devices.
Excellent Thermal Stability – Retains integrity under high-temperature vacuum deposition.
Strong Luminescence – Ideal for UV and visible light emission research.
Customisable Sizes & Purities – Available in 1–3 mm pieces; custom formats on request.

Q1: What is the main advantage of using ZnO as an evaporation material?
ZnO provides excellent transparency and conductivity, making it ideal for thin-film coatings and optoelectronic applications.
Q2: Is ZnO compatible with e-beam evaporation systems?
Yes. ZnO can be evaporated using an e-beam, but temperature control is critical to avoid decomposition.
Q3: Can Cell Lab provide custom ZnO sizes or higher purities?
Absolutely. We can supply customised dimensions and purities up to 4N or 5N upon request.
Q4: What type of crucible should be used for ZnO evaporation?
Alumina (Al₂O₃), tungsten (W), or molybdenum (Mo) crucibles are recommended for best results.
