Low temperature evaporation

In low temperature evaporation (LTE), resistive heating is used to evaporate materials held in a crucible.

LTE is suitable for materials with low evaporation temperatures of <600 °C, including organics (for OLED, OPV and OFET applications). Moorfield offers a range of solutions for LTE, including our MiniLab systems and our bench top nanoPVD-T15A system.

Low temperature evaporation products

MiniLab 026

MiniLab 026 systems are compact floor standing vacuum evaporators with easy-access ‘clam-shell’ chambers. Suitable for metal, dielectric and organics deposition via evaporation and sputtering techniques.

MiniLab 060

The most popular platform in our MiniLab range, MiniLab 060 systems have front-loading box-type chambers ideal for multiple-source magnetron sputtering but also thermal and e-beam evaporation.

MiniLab 080

MiniLab 080 systems offer tall chambers ideally suited for thermal, LTE and e-beam evaporation techniques requiring longer working distances for optimum uniformity.

MiniLab 125

MiniLab 125 tools take the modular concept to the pilot-scale level. Large chambers allow for increased-size component sets for coating large areas, and a range of load-lock options enable high-throughput operation. At the same time, systems are fully cust

nanoPVD-ST15A

Model ST15A offers the combination of evaporation and sputtering techniques within a single process chamber. Ultimate research flexibility within a benchtop, automated package.

nanoPVD-T15A

High-performance metals, organic evaporation in compact packages for benchtop location. Superior, efficient performance and ideal for OLED, OPV and OFET research.
