RD Mathis Evaporation Sources - Tungsten,
Molybdenum and Tantalum Boats

Evaporation Boats are ideal solutions to many thin film coating processes. This Page represents an extensive range of our standard Tungsten, Molybdenum and Tantalum boats which can be used for low temperature as well as high temperature materials.

Boat sources are probably the most popular evaporation sources due to their ease of use and a wide range of capacities.

Boats with oval dimple have a higher capacity while those with round dimples are less effected by shorting through evaporation.

Because the boat is the source of the heat for evaporation, the boat must operate at a temperature considerably above that required to evaporate the material it contains.
