Sapphire Wafer

Product Information

Sapphire is a material of a unique combination of physical, chemical and optical properties, which make it resistant to high temperature, thermal shock, water and sand erosion, and scratching. Comparing to other wafers, the sapphire wafer has many unique features such as high strength, anti-corrosion, anti-abrasion, good thermal conductivity, and good electrical isolation. Due to its excellent mechanical and chemical characteristics, the sapphire wafer plays an important role in the optoelectronics industry and widely used in precision mechanical parts and vacuum equipment. It is a superior window material for many IR applications from 3µm to 5µm. C-plane sapphire substrates are widely used to grow III-V and II-VI compounds such as GaN for blue LED and laser diodes, while R-plane sapphire substrates are used for the hetero-epitaxial deposition of silicon for microelectronic IC applications.

ATT manufactures high purity single crystal Sapphire Wafers for optoelectronics applications. Our standard wafer diameters range from 25.4 mm (1 inch) to 300 mm (11.8 inches) in size; wafers can be produced in various thicknesses and orientations with polished or unpolished sides and can include dopants. We can offer complete orientation options including C plane, A plane, R plane and M plane.
