Materials For Nickel Evaporation

About Nickel Evaporation Materials

Nickel is a tough, lustrous, silvery‐white metal. It has a density of 8.91 g/cc, a melting point of 1 453°C and a vapour pressure of 10⁻⁴ Torr at 1 262°C. Its key properties include formability, ductility and ferromagnetism, while its polished surface resists tarnishing when exposed to air. It is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s interior after iron. It is widely used in the production of stainless steel, coins and batteries. Its use in jewellery, for example in earrings, has diminished given that it can cause allergic skin reactions. When evaporated in a vacuum, nickel can form ornamental coatings on ceramic surfaces or produce a soldering layer in circuit manufacturing. It is frequently sputtered to deposit layers for the fabrication of magnetic media, fuel cells and sensors.

Purity: ≥99.9%

Nickel Evaporation Materials Main Features:

High Purity: Nickel evaporation materials are produced at a purity level of at least 99.9%, thereby minimising impurities and contamination during the thin film deposition process.

Excellent Adhesion: Nickel forms a strong bond with various substrates, thereby ensuring uniform and reliable thin film coatings that are essential for applications requiring precise adhesion.

Versatility: The deposition conditions for nickel films can be adjusted to yield a range of specific characteristics, including conductive, reflective, barrier and magnetic properties.

Consistent Performance: The stable physical properties of nickel facilitate predictable and repeatable outcomes in thin film deposition, thereby contributing to reproducible results in various applications.

Thermal Stability: Nickel evaporation materials retain their structural integrity during high‐temperature processes, thereby proving suitable for applications that require thermal stability.

Nickel Evaporation Materials Applications:

Electronics: Nickel evaporation materials are utilised in the fabrication of conductive and protective layers for electronic components such as integrated circuits, semiconductors and sensors.
