Material & Engineering Overview

Prepared specifically for high-vacuum electron-beam and resistive thermal evaporation, our 4N5 (99.995%) Crushed Single-Crystal Sapphire & Sintered Tablets aluminum oxide (sapphire granules) (Al2O3, CAS 1344-28-1) deposition materials undergo vacuum degassing or high-temperature sintering to eliminate trapped volatiles and micro-voids that cause melt spitting and pinhole film defects.

Crushed monocrystalline sapphire granules contain zero trapped binder pores, melting cleanly in tungsten, molybdenum, or water-cooled Cu e-beam hearths. Supplied in cleanroom argon-flushed containers by weight (50 g to 1,000 g lots) or piece count, accompanied by the manufacturer's batch trace-impurity Certificate of Analysis.

Standard Shipment Documentation: Manufacturer Lot COA (ICP-OES / GDMS trace metal ppm breakdown for Al2O3) and net-weight sealed lot label.

Primary Research & Industrial Applications

Technical & Procurement FAQ

Which crucible liner or boat is recommended for evaporating aluminum oxide (sapphire granules) (Al2O3)?
Crushed monocrystalline sapphire granules contain zero trapped binder pores, melting cleanly in tungsten, molybdenum, or water-cooled Cu e-beam hearths.
How should Al2O3 evaporation granules/pellets be pre-conditioned in the chamber?
Sweep a low-power defocused e-beam or low resistive boat current across the charge behind a closed shutter until chamber base pressure recovers before ramping to deposition rate.
What lot sizes are available for TB-EV-AL2O3?
Standard research packs are quoted in 50 g, 100 g, 250 g, 500 g, and 1 kg sealed containers with full batch COA.
