Sn was evaporated in the Alcatel e-beam evaporator, which is decommissioned, but has only been tested once in the [[Specific Process Knowledge/Thin film deposition/Temescal|E-beam evaporator (Temescal)]] which is currently in the lab. The test resulted in a rather uneven film (more resembling islands of Sn than a continuous layer) and since results with sputtering were more promising we did not fully develop the recipe (spring 2025). | Sn was evaporated in the Alcatel e-beam evaporator, which is decommissioned, but has only been tested once in the [[Specific Process Knowledge/Thin film deposition/Temescal|E-beam evaporator (Temescal)]] which is currently in the lab.

Sn evaporation has been tested in early 2025. The required power varied quite a lot from run to run so we do not have a fully automated reliable process. The resulting films were very rough. | Sn thermal evaporation has been tested in early 2025.
