Hump-Shaped Tungsten Heater
1. What Is Hump-Shaped Tungsten Heater?
Hump-shaped tungsten heater is a tungsten evaporation source fabricated from high-purity tungsten wire through precision winding or forming processes. It features a central raised geometry resembling a camel’s hump, designed for controlled evaporation in vacuum coating systems.
2. Classification of Hump-Shaped Tungsten Heaters
Hump-shaped tungsten heaters are typically classified by the number of hump structures:
(1) Single peak tungsten heater: features a single central elevation, structurally similar to a V-shaped tungsten heater
(2) Double peak tungsten heater: features two sequential elevations, structurally similar to an M-shaped tungsten heater
(3) Multi-peak tungsten heater: consists of multiple peaks, with a waveform-like geometry
3. Advantages of CTIA’s Hump-Shaped Tungsten Heater
Compared with U-frame tungsten heaters, the hump-shaped design provides the following technical advantages:
(1) Localized evaporation source: Heat is concentrated at the bent regions, generating a near point-source evaporation flux for high-precision optical coating applications.
(2) Molten material retention: The peak-and-valley geometry functions as a containment zone, reducing molten metal flow toward electrode terminals and improving process safety.
(3) Thermal stress mitigation: The structured undulation effectively distributes thermal stress, reducing deformation and improving dimensional stability at temperatures above 2000°C.
4. Applications of CTIA’s Hump-Shaped Tungsten Heater
(1) Microelectronics and semiconductor packaging: Used for wafer-level metallization and localized pattern deposition, enabling high-precision conductive layer formation in microelectronic structures.
(2) Precision optics and display technology: Applied in optical filter fabrication and display substrate processing. In Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) color filter repair and micro-optical component manufacturing, it supports uniform multilayer thin-film deposition with tight thickness control.
(3) Laboratory research and precious metal evaporation: Utilized in Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) systems as a resistive evaporation source. Its controlled peak-valley geometry is particularly suitable for evaporating precious metals such as gold and platinum with high material efficiency.
(4) Precision instrument manufacturing: Applied in small vacuum chambers for precision thin-film deposition, enabling accurate evaporation flux control for micro-sensors and advanced optical components.
