Technical Tips
In thermal evaporation processes, chromium is unlike many other materials due to how it sublimes at low pressures.
If approached using small pellet material or other similar sizes, chromium acts erratically which affects film uniformity. To best approach deposition, it must be very controllable. Rather than using a boat or a crucible source for chromium, plated tungsten rods provide unique advantages.
