Common Shapes of PBN Crucibles
PBN (Pyrolytic Boron Nitride) crucibles are widely used due to their numerous advantages. They do not contaminate the materials they hold, which is crucial in some processes where even minor impurities can impact the final quality. Additionally, PBN crucibles possess exceptional thermal shock resistance, enabling them to withstand rapid temperature changes without cracking. This durability makes them reliable even under harsh conditions and ensures their repeated use. Furthermore, PBN crucibles exhibit electrical insulation properties, making them suitable for processes that require the avoidance of electrical conductivity. PBN crucibles come in various shapes, each meticulously designed for specific applications.
Cylindrical Crucibles
Cylindrical crucibles are commonly used in processes that require uniform heating. Their round design ensures even heat distribution, which is critical in processes like crystal growth, where temperature uniformity directly influences the quality of the crystals. Cylindrical crucibles are available in a wide range of sizes and are used across various industries for diverse heating applications.
Conical Crucibles
Conical crucibles feature a tapered design that facilitates the easy pouring and collection of materials. This shape ensures that molten materials flow smoothly without spilling. Conical crucibles are especially useful in processes like metal evaporation, where precise material transfer is key to minimizing waste and ensuring process consistency. The narrow base of the conical crucible concentrates the heat, making it particularly effective in processes that require localized heating.
Boat-Shaped Crucibles
Boat-shaped crucibles are designed to resemble small boats and are typically used in horizontal heating setups. Their elongated shape helps distribute the material evenly, which is essential in thin film deposition processes, such as Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD). These crucibles are easy to load and unload, making them particularly suited for processes involving thin layers of material, and they reduce the risk of material overflow during heating.
Rectangular Crucibles
Rectangular crucibles provide a flat surface, making them ideal for evenly laying out materials. This shape is commonly used in chemical reaction processes that require uniform heating. Rectangular crucibles are also suitable for processes where materials need to be held in place, such as solid-state reactions. The flat surface ensures consistent contact with the heat source, facilitating even heat distribution throughout the process.
