Material & Engineering Overview

Precision-grown and chemical-mechanical-polished (CMP) in a Class 100 cleanroom, our GaN-on-Sapphire & AlN-on-Sapphire epi templates (GaN / AlN on α-Al2O3, CAS 25617-97-4) 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.

Pre-grown MOCVD/HVPE GaN and AlN epitaxial templates on C-plane sapphire allow labs to jump straight into active III-nitride quantum well, HEMT, UV-LED, and acoustic resonator regrowth or device fabrication. 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

  • AlGaN/GaN HEMT RF & power transistor fabrication and regrowth
  • Deep-UV (UVC 230–280 nm) LED and solar-blind photodetector epitaxy on AlN/Sapphire templates
  • GaN photonic crystals, micro-LED arrays, and polariton cavity devices
  • High-frequency SAW/BAW acoustic wave devices on single-crystal AlN/Sapphire

Technical & Procurement FAQ

Are GaN-on-Sapphire & AlN-on-Sapphire epi templates (GaN / AlN on α-Al2O3) 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 GaN / AlN on α-Al2O3 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-GAN?
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.
