Grade and order selection
1. State the intended application and process temperature or environment.
2. Specify grade, dimensions, orientation or polytype, thickness and surface finish.
3. Define the inspection method, defect limits and required certificate data.
4. Confirm sample quantity, annual demand, packaging and delivery expectations.
Frequently asked questions
Is the wafer fully transparent at every wavelength?
Optical transmission depends on wavelength, thickness, polytype, defects and surface finish. Please state the required spectral range and transmission target.
Which diameters are available?
The supplied range is 2 to 12 inches; feasibility should be confirmed for the exact polytype, thickness and grade.
What is the main grade difference?
Z grade carries tighter micropipe, flatness, resistivity and inclusion criteria than D grade.
