Cell Lab 4N (99.99%) Tin (Sn) Pellets Evaporation Materials

High-Purity Tin Pellets for Thin-Film Deposition and Optoelectronic Applications

General Description

Cell Lab 4N (99.99%) Tin (Sn) Pellets are premium-grade evaporation materials used for thin-film coating, optoelectronic applications, and metal alloy research.
Tin is a silvery-white, ductile, and corrosion-resistant metal that remains stable under air and water exposure. It is widely used in the fabrication of transparent conductive films, alloy manufacturing, and as a protective coating for other metals.
In vacuum evaporation systems, tin’s excellent stability and uniform vaporisation properties make it ideal for forming compound films such as indium tin oxide (ITO) and for co-evaporation processes in semiconductor and photovoltaic manufacturing.

Key Features

  • Ultra-High Purity (99.99%) – Ensures precise film composition and minimises contamination.

  • Excellent Corrosion Resistance – Maintains stability even in moist or oxidative environments.

  • Versatile Application – Suitable for coatings, soldering alloys, and semiconductor thin films.

  • High Thermal Conductivity – Promotes even heat distribution during evaporation.

  • Customisable Sizes & Quantities – Available in multiple diameters and weights upon request.

  • Thin-Film Research – Co-evaporation for compound film synthesis.

FAQ

Q1: Why is tin preferred for vacuum evaporation?
Because of its low melting point and stable vapour pressure, tin evaporates uniformly and forms smooth, adherent films.

Q2: Can these pellets be used in e-beam systems?
Yes. Cell Lab tin pellets are fully compatible with e-beam evaporation, using graphite or tantalum crucible liners.

Q3: What precautions should be taken during handling?
Avoid oxidation by storing pellets in a dry, inert atmosphere and handle with non-contaminating tools.

Q4: Can I request other diameters or purity levels?
Yes. Cell Lab offers custom diameters, shapes, and purities (up to 5N) upon request for specialised R&D use.
