Thermal Evaporation System Guide

A thermal evaporation system requires high vacuum (10⁻⁵–10⁻⁶ Torr), a stable high-current power supply, appropriate crucible/boat materials, and correct source-to-substrate distance. Quartz crystal monitors improve reproducibility, while Mo, W, BN,...

How to Choose or Design a Custom Vacuum Chamber...

Custom vacuum chambers are essential for thin-film deposition, spectroscopy, plasma diagnostics, and R&D instruments. Stainless steel is the most common material, CF flanges are required for high vacuum, and careful...

Where to Buy Custom Laboratory Furnaces (Univer...

Custom laboratory furnaces allow researchers to specify temperature, tube material, heating elements, atmosphere type, gas flow design, vacuum integration, and multi-zone uniformity. They are essential for advanced CVD, PVD, high-temperature...

Quartz vs Alumina vs Sapphire Tubes | Furnace T...

Quartz tubes are ideal for low to medium temperature CVD and optical monitoring up to ~1100°C. Alumina tubes support high-temperature research up to ~1700°C and are chemically robust for oxide...

Vacuum Furnace vs Atmosphere Furnace | Differen...

A vacuum furnace provides a contamination-free environment for metal annealing, thin-film deposition, PVD/evaporation, and semiconductor processing. An atmosphere furnace is ideal for high-temperature reactions, ceramic sintering, and gas-solid chemistry using...

Custom High-Temperature Furnace Design Guide | ...

A custom high-temperature furnace requires careful selection of heating elements, insulation, gas/vacuum compatibility, tube materials, control systems, and safety features. MoSi₂ and SiC elements are preferred for 1400–1800°C, sapphire and...
