Thermal evaporation

Thermal evaporation is a straightforward means of thin film deposition with materials being heated to evaporation temperatures via a resistively heated support.

Thermal evaporation is best suited to metals with evaporation temperatures of about 1700 °C or below. Moorfield’s MiniLab range is ideally suited to the thermal evaporation technique.
