Material & Engineering Overview

Precision-grown and chemical-mechanical-polished (CMP) in a Class 100 cleanroom, our CaF2, BaF2 & MgF2 UV / infrared crystal windows & substrates (CaF2 / BaF2 / MgF2, CAS 7789-75-5) substrates provide atomically smooth, epi-ready surfaces (Ra < 0.2–0.5 nm) for thin-film epitaxy, pulsed laser deposition (PLD), magnetron sputtering, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), and optical characterization.

Bridgman-grown alkaline-earth fluoride crystals transmit continuously from the vacuum-UV (120–135 nm) to the mid/long-wave infrared (8–12 µm) with ultra-low refractive index and minimal chromatic dispersion. Standard research sizes include 5×5 mm, 10×10 mm, and 15×15 mm diced squares (0.5 mm or 1.0 mm thick) as well as Ø 1-inch, 2-inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch wafers in single-side (SSP) or double-side (DSP) polished finishes, packed in individual waffle trays or nitrogen-sealed cassettes with batch orientation and surface inspection data.

Standard Shipment Documentation: Manufacturer Lot COA (crystal orientation X-ray verification, surface roughness Ra, thickness tolerance, and resistivity/doping if applicable).

Primary Research & Industrial Applications

  • FTIR spectroscopy cell windows, ATR prisms, and thermal-imaging viewports (CaF2 0.13–10 µm; BaF2 0.15–12 µm)
  • Raman spectroscopy substrates with virtually zero background fluorescence (Raman-grade CaF2)
  • Deep-UV excimer laser (157 nm F2, 193 nm ArF, 248 nm KrF) optics and windows
  • Epitaxial fluoride and IV-VI mid-IR semiconductor (PbSe/PbTe) growth substrates

Technical & Procurement FAQ

Are CaF2, BaF2 & MgF2 UV / infrared crystal windows & substrates (CaF2 / BaF2 / MgF2) substrates ready for epitaxial deposition out of the box?
Yes. All epi-ready substrates are final CMP-polished and packaged in cleanroom waffle packs or sealed containers with sub-nanometer Ra roughness.
What tolerances apply to 10×10×0.5 mm diced CaF2 / BaF2 / MgF2 substrates?
Standard lateral dimensions are ±0.05–0.10 mm, thickness is ±0.02–0.05 mm, and crystal axis orientation accuracy is within ±0.5° (or ±0.1° on custom request).
Can I order custom sizes, thicknesses, or double-side polishing for TB-SUB-CAF2?
Yes. Both single-side (SSP) and double-side (DSP) polished substrates as well as custom laser/wire-saw diced dimensions can be quoted with no high minimum order quantity.
