Material & Engineering Overview

Prepared specifically for high-vacuum electron-beam and resistive thermal evaporation, our 4N (99.99%) Vacuum-Sublimed Grade silicon monoxide (SiO, CAS 10097-28-6) deposition materials undergo vacuum degassing or high-temperature sintering to eliminate trapped volatiles and micro-voids that cause melt spitting and pinhole film defects.

SiO sublimes without melting; always use a baffled tantalum or molybdenum box boat (chimney source) to eliminate particle spitting during resistive evaporation. 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 SiO) and net-weight sealed lot label.

Primary Research & Industrial Applications

  • Protective overcoat on front-surface aluminum mirrors (oxidizes to durable SiOx/SiO2)
  • Dielectric insulating crossovers and Josephson junction window isolation
  • Optical interference layers (n ~ 1.55–1.95 tunable with O2 partial pressure)
  • Barrier layers on flexible polymer packaging films

Technical & Procurement FAQ

Which crucible liner or boat is recommended for evaporating silicon monoxide (SiO)?
SiO sublimes without melting; always use a baffled tantalum or molybdenum box boat (chimney source) to eliminate particle spitting during resistive evaporation.
How should SiO 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-SIO?
Standard research packs are quoted in 50 g, 100 g, 250 g, 500 g, and 1 kg sealed containers with full batch COA.
