Wafers made of glass,
quartz and silicon

Glass Wafers

Glass wafers made of Borofloat33® glass are often used in Semiconductor and MEMS indus­try in a wide variety of applications.

These wafers can be used for the encapsulation of MEMS devices for example for sensors using Wafer-Level Packaging (WLP) technology or as blank glass substrates for semiconductor pro­cessing and optics.

Our stock products from Borofloat33® glass have a coefficient of thermal expansion (cte) that is adapted to silicon, which makes them the perfect substrate to use in anodic bonding. The glass features good transmission over a wide spectrum as well as high chemical resis­tance and mechanical strength. Furthermore, these wafers can be used in high temperature processing.

Quartz Wafers

Wafers from semiconductor grade quartz (amorphous) are used in semiconductor pro­cessing, solar and industrial applications as well as for thin film coatings. Main feature is the high chemical purity making it a CMOS compa­tible material combined with excellent mecha­nical and optical properties.

Semiconductor grade quartz features low cte as well as low OH content which enables high temperature processing and good transmission in IR and UV. This material is top notch when it comes to high quality quartz wafers with rea­sonable pricing.
