The R.D. Mathis Company offers a wide range of parts to meet your thin film coating needs: boats, filaments, evaporation materials, sputtering targets, e-beam liners & more.
However, we also provide an assortment of modifications to our catalog, adjusting dimensions to meet specific process needs.
Our flexible tooling and over 60 years of experience enables us to manufacture uniquely tailored parts with refractory metals.
From a simple filament length change to special designed high volume shielded heaters, let us know how we can help.
Gold thin films are used in many industries, primarily due to its excellent conductivity and optical properties. As an evaporation material, boats, baskets, crucibles, and filament sources are all common ways to deposit gold.
However, at elevated temperatures, gold has two main issues:
Gold evaporation can be optimized through alumina coated tungsten sources. This combination between tungsten alongside alumina coating maximizes lifetime while minimizing precious metal loss.
Alumina coatings can be flexible and applied to various other parts, not just boat sources. Box sources, crucibles, and even baskets can be alumina coated.
