Cell Lab 4N (99.99%) Zinc (Zn) Pellets Evaporation Materials

High-Purity Zinc Source for Thin Film, Optical, and Semiconductor Applications

General Description

Cell Lab 4N (99.99%) Zinc (Zn) Pellets are precision-engineered evaporation materials designed for thin-film deposition, optical coatings, and semiconductor processing.
Zinc is a bluish pale-grey metal known for its excellent conductivity, chemical stability, and low melting point (419.5°C). Its combination of moderate reactivity and excellent film-forming properties makes it ideal for applications such as anode fabrication, reflective coatings, and transparent conductive films.

In high-vacuum environments, Zinc vaporises cleanly to produce uniform, high-purity thin films with excellent adhesion to various substrates, making it an essential material for electronic, optical, and energy research.

Key Features

  • Ultra-High Purity (99.99%) – Ensures minimal contamination for precise thin-film performance.

  • Low Melting Point (420°C) – Enables efficient thermal or e-beam evaporation.

  • High Conductivity – Excellent for use in electrode, semiconductor, and metallisation layers.

  • Wide Industrial Use – Suitable for optics, sensors, photovoltaics, and vacuum deposition.

  • Customisable Dimensions – Various pellet sizes and purities available upon request.

FAQ

Q1: What makes Zinc pellets ideal for evaporation?
Their high purity, low melting point, and stable vapour behaviour allow for consistent thin-film deposition.

Q2: Are these Zinc pellets suitable for e-beam evaporation?
Yes, they perform exceptionally well with e-beam systems due to their stable metallic structure.

Q3: Can Cell Lab supply custom pellet sizes or purities?
Absolutely — custom sizes, forms, and purities (up to 5N) can be provided upon request.

Q4: What crucible material is recommended for Zinc evaporation?
Alumina, molybdenum, or tungsten crucibles are ideal for stable and clean evaporation.
