What are Sapphire Wafers and Substrates?

Manufacturers produce sapphire wafers and substrates from single-crystal aluminum oxide (Al2O3), often known as sapphire, because of their transparent and durable qualities. These wafers and substrates form the foundation for various semiconductor devices, optoelectronics and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). Renowned for their superior thermal, electrical and optical properties, sapphire substrates provide a high-quality surface for epitaxial growth, which is vital in producing high-performance devices.

What Applications Are Sapphire Wafers and Substrates Used For?

Sapphire wafers and substrates find extensive applications in numerous high-tech industries. They are fundamental in producing semiconductor devices, where their thermal stability and electrical insulation properties offer substantial advantages. In optoelectronics, sapphire’s transparency and high refractive index make it an excellent choice for GaN-based LEDs, where the Patterned Sapphire Substrates (PSS) technique has boosted their efficacy. Furthermore, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology also uses sapphire substrates for devices like accelerometers, gyroscopes and micro-mirrors due to its superior mechanical strength and chemical resistance.
