Material & Engineering Overview

Precision-grown and chemical-mechanical-polished (CMP) in a Class 100 cleanroom, our silicon wafers & thermal oxide (SiO2/Si) substrates (Si / SiO2-on-Si, CAS 7440-21-3) 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.

Available as bare prime/research wafers, pre-diced 10×10 mm PVD witness chips, or dry/wet thermal oxide (285 nm / 300 nm SiO2 for graphene/2D optical contrast and FET back-gates) and LPCVD Si3N4 coated wafers. 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.

Technical & Procurement FAQ

Are silicon wafers & thermal oxide (SiO2/Si) substrates (Si / SiO2-on-Si) 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 Si / SiO2-on-Si 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-SI?
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.
