Sapphire Wafer Precision Cutting Diameter 60mm Thickness 3mm
Optical Infrared Window
Sapphire wafer is a precision optical component fabricated from
high-purity aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) single-crystal material, with
specifications of 60mm in diameter and 3mm in thickness. It achieves high-precision dimensional control through directional
cutting techniques (e.g., laser cutting or diamond wire sawing),
with surface roughness controlled to <0.5μm. The crystal orientation options include C-plane (<0001>),
A-plane (0001), and M-plane (10-10), catering to diverse
application requirements. Inheriting the inherent advantages of sapphire, sapphire wafer
ardness (Mohs hardness of 9), high-temperature resistance (melting
point of 2045°C), low thermal expansion coefficient (5.3×10⁻⁷/°C),
and broad-spectrum transparency (0.15–5.5μm), making it a core
material for advanced optoelectronics, semiconductors, and
precision instrumentation.
