Copper(I) Sulfide (Cu2S) Evaporation Material

Product Code : EM-Cu2S-5N-Cu

Copper(I) sulfide (Cu2S) is a solid, brittle, gray-black material composed of copper and sulfur. It is typically produced by various techniques, such as thermal decomposition, sintering, chemical reaction, or evaporation.

Evaporation is a process in which small volumes of a material are heated until enough of it evaporates to provide the desired amount of material. It is most commonly used to deposit thin layers of materials onto substrates such as glass, metals, ceramics, and plastics.

When evaporating copper(I) sulfide (Cu2S), the source material should be heated in an evaporator to temperatures of approximately 1000 ºC. The vaporized material travels through a condenser and onto a water-cooled substrate or collector. The evaporated material will then form a thin film of the desired material, usually around 0.001” thick.

In addition to thin film applications, copper(I) sulfide (Cu2S) can also be used for soldering or welding operations because of its ability to conduct heat and electricity. It can also be used for bonding or coating, given its durability and corrosion-resistant properties.
