PBN Crucibles

Characteristic

High Purity and Density:Purity up to 99.999% or higher, dense and non-porous surface, excellent airtightness, and helium permeability as low as 1×10⁻¹⁰ cm³/s.

High-Temperature Resistance and Thermal Performance: Withstands high temperatures up to 2200℃, and its strength increases with rising temperature. It has excellent thermal shock resistance and anisotropic thermal conductivity (60 W/(m·K) in the a-direction at 200℃, and only 2.60 W/(m·K) in the c-direction).

Chemical Inertness: Resistant to corrosion by acids, alkalis, salts and organic reagents; non-wetting and non-reactive with most molten metals and semiconductor materials.

Application field solutions

Semiconductor Single Crystal Growth: Used for growing III-V compound single crystals (such as GaAs (gallium arsenide) and InP (indium phosphide)) via VGF (Vertical Gradient Freeze) and LEC (Liquid Encapsulated Czochralski) methods. The high purity and high-temperature deformation resistance of PBN crucibles ensure low defects and high purity of crystals.

Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE): Serves as MBE crucibles for evaporating materials like Al (aluminum) and Ga (gallium) to prepare high-end epitaxial wafers such as superlattices and quantum wells. Its high purity and non-wettability ensure accurate stoichiometry and high quality of thin-film materials.

OLED Evaporation and Microelectronics: Applied in OLED evaporation source units, featuring high-temperature resistance and extremely low outgassing rate, enabling uniform evaporation, prolonging equipment service life and improving the performance of display devices.

High-Temperature Metal Processing and Metallurgy: Used for molten metal transfer and special metallurgy crucibles. Its thermal shock resistance and corrosion resistance make it suitable for processing active metals and alloys.
