Research-Grade Sapphire Wafers Base Plates & White Sapphire

# Sapphire Wafers for Semiconductor & Materials Research: Precision You Can Trust  

For researchers in semiconductor and materials labs worldwide, the quality of your substrate directly impacts the reliability of your data. Our research-grade sapphire wafers are engineered to solve the unique challenges of academic and industrial R&D—whether you're growing GaN epitaxial layers, testing optoelectronic device performance, or exploring next-gen semiconductor materials.  

## Why Our Sapphire Wafers Stand Out for Your Lab? 

### 1. Tailored to Research Needs: Small Batches, Big Consistency  

We understand lab work thrives on flexibility. Unlike mass-production suppliers, we specialize in small-batch orders (starting from 1 piece) with the same precision as industrial-scale products. This means:  

- No minimum order constraints: Test new hypotheses without overcommitting to large quantities.  

- Consistent quality across runs: Every wafer undergoes strict inspection (surface roughness <0.5 nm RMS, thickness tolerance ±5 μm) to ensure your experiments are repeatable—critical for publishing reliable results.  

- Customizable specs: Choose from 2”, 4”, or 6” diameters, with options for c-plane, m-plane, or r-plane orientations to match your epitaxial growth requirements (e.g., GaN on c-plane sapphire for LED research).  

### 2. Built for the Harshest Lab Environments  

Sapphire's inherent properties—extreme temperature resistance (up to 2050°C), chemical inertness, and low defect density—make it ideal for demanding experiments. Our wafers enhance these advantages:  

- Withstand aggressive processes: Perfect for MOCVD, MBE, or wet etching studies involving HF, plasma, or high-temperature annealing.  

- Minimize experimental noise: Ultra-clean surfaces (particle count <10 particles/ft² for sizes >0.5 μm) reduce contamination risks in sensitive tests, such as thin-film growth characterization via AFM or XRD.  

- Compatible with diverse setups: Works seamlessly with lab-scale deposition tools, Probe Stations, and vacuum chambers—no need to modify your equipment.  

### 3. More Than a Substrate: A Partner in Your Research  

We don’t just supply wafers—we support your goals:  

- Technical insights: Our team includes materials scientists with expertise in semiconductor research. Need help selecting the right orientation for your AlN growth project? We'll guide you.  

- Fast turnaround: Get small batches in 1-2 weeks, so you can keep pace with tight research timelines (e.g., meeting conference abstract deadlines).  

- Cost-effective for labs: Competitive pricing on small quantities, with discounts for academic institutions—designed to fit research grant budgets.  

Whether you’re developing next-gen power devices, optimizing UV detector performance, or exploring novel wide-bandgap semiconductors, our sapphire wafers deliver the precision and reliability your research demands.
