Characterizations

Technology services
Crystalline quality
  • Chemical purity (Al, Fe, Na, K, Ca<1ppm)
  • Crystal defects: microscopic (etch channels, dislocation) or macroscopic (inclusions…)
  • Crystalline quality factor (IR absorption coefficient)

Geometric and dimensional characterization

On substrates up to 200 mm, minimum thickness 200 µm

  • Surface: Roughness - Ra 3nm
  • Flatness - parallelism (0.5 µm accuracy), dimensional ± 5 µm
  • Crystalline orientation: single-rotated or double-rotated (± 30 arc seconds accuracy)

Functional properties
  • Elastic, piezoelectric and dielectric constants
