[0002] Metal Evaporation Material, also known as Metal Evaporation Source or Metal Evaporation Material, is a material used in the metal evaporation process in thin film deposition technology. Metal Evaporation Material usually exists in the form of metal elements or alloys, and is used to produce metal vapor for thin film deposition. The selection of Metal Evaporation Material depends on the metal composition of the desired thin film. Common Metal Evaporation Materials include aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), silver (Ag), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), molybdenum (Mo), etc. These Metal Evaporation Materials exist in the form of blocks, wires, or particles.

[0003] In the prior art, the broken scrap metal is discharged by directly opening the discharge valve provided at the bottom of the sorting device. This discharge method causes the scrap metal to accumulate in one place and be discharged, which not only leads to blockage during discharge, but also causes the Metal Evaporation Material to be discharged in piles during discharge.

[0004] However, during the use of Metal Evaporation Material in chip plating, it may be heated, dissolved, and volatilized, causing it to plate the chip. If there is a mixture, it may cause irreparable abnormalities in a large number of chips, and also cause contamination of the sputtering machine. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a sorting method for Metal Evaporation Material used in chip plating.
