Title:
THERMAL EVAPORATION SOURCES WITH SEPARATE CRUCIBLE FOR HOLDING THE EVAPORANT MATERIAL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/140060
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
One aspect of the invention comprises a thermal evaporation source comprising an evaporant chamber, a heater for providing heat to the evaporation chamber; and a crucible in thermal communication with the evaporation chamber for containing a volume of evaporant. The evaporant chamber comprises a first material of construction, and the crucible comprises a second material of construction different from the first material of construction and having a lesser porosity with respect to the evaporant than the first material of construction. For example, for a copper evaporant, the evaporant chamber may comprise a sintered material, such as sintered graphite, and the crucible may comprise a pyrolytic material, such as pyrolytic graphite or pyrolytic boron nitride.
