Pyrolytic Boron Nitride Crucible, PBN Crucible

Pyrolytic Boron Nitride crucibles and other pyrolytic boron nitride products are synthesized on the mold by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, with BCl3 and NH3 at high temperature and low pressure. PBN products are extremely pure, as the purity of gas material is easier to be controlled. Typically, PBN products have a total impurity of <100 ppm, which means the purity is no less than 99.99%. With such a high purity level, PBN crucibles are ideal products for semiconductor industries.

With its high density and purity, PBN is becoming a widely used material in vacuum processes. The CVD process gives this pyrolytic boron nitride an almost perfect layered structure, which leads to anisotropic thermal conductivity, making it an ideal material to make crucibles for crystal growing. PBN is the major material to make crucibles for GaAs crystal production.

PBN Crucibles are produced by the CVD process and all the boron nitride crystals grow parallel to the surface on which the vapor is deposited. The density of the products could almost reach the theoretical value. Due to the nature of the CVD process, the most common wall thickness for PBN crucibles is 0.8~1.5mm. We provide custom PBN crucibles and VGF / LEC / Conical / MBE / OLED crucibles.
