Single Crystal Sapphire is playing an ever-increasingly important role as a material for high reliablility Electronics today, due to its excellent mechanical characteristics, chemical stability and light transmission.
Features of Single Crystal Sapphire
-
1High Strength, High Rigidity, High Anti-Abrasion, High Anti-Heat, High Anti-Corrosion Characteristics, and High Anti-Plasma Characteristics
Because of these characteristics, Single Crystal Sapphire is widely used for precision mechanical parts.
-
2Stable Dielectric Constant, Very Low Dielectric Loss, Good Electrical Insulation
Single Crystal Sapphire is used as a material for substrates in super-high frequency regions. It is also used as an insulation material and microwave window.
-
3Excellent Light Transmission
Single Crystal Sapphire is used for various kinds of vacuum equipment, windows in reaction furnace, scanner windows and caps for optical communication due to its excellent mechanical characteristics and heat resistance.
-
4Good Thermal Conductivity and High Heat Resistance
Excellent thermal conductivity at low temperatures allows Single Crystal Sapphire as a transparent material to be used in many diverse fields requiring thermal conduction and heat radiation.
Example of Single crystal sapphire production technology
Kyocera mass-produces Single Crystal Sapphire in a vertically integrated manner. From "pulling up" the raw material with EFG (Edge-Defined Film-Fed Growth) methods to machining, Kyocera produces and supplies various products with large diameters or specific shape requirements.
