Material & Engineering Overview

Prepared specifically for high-vacuum electron-beam and resistive thermal evaporation, our 4N5 (99.995%) CVD Optical Grade zinc sulfide & zinc selenide (ZnS / ZnSe, CAS 1314-98-3) deposition materials undergo vacuum degassing or high-temperature sintering to eliminate trapped volatiles and micro-voids that cause melt spitting and pinhole film defects.

Sublimes congruently without liquid melting; use baffled tantalum/molybdenum resistive box sources or quartz/graphite liners to prevent spatter. 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 ZnS / ZnSe) and net-weight sealed lot label.

Technical & Procurement FAQ

Which crucible liner or boat is recommended for evaporating zinc sulfide & zinc selenide (ZnS / ZnSe)?
Sublimes congruently without liquid melting; use baffled tantalum/molybdenum resistive box sources or quartz/graphite liners to prevent spatter.
How should ZnS / ZnSe 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-ZNS?
Standard research packs are quoted in 50 g, 100 g, 250 g, 500 g, and 1 kg sealed containers with full batch COA.
