Substrate for SAW Devices(LN) INQUIRY
Substrate for SAW Devices(LN)
UsageSubstrate for SAW Devices(LN)
LN has a very large capability of 'piezoelectricity' which generate an electric potential in response to applied mechanical stress.
Utilizing this characteristics, it is used as a SAW Filter.
 
ProcessingWafer Processing
Up to 4 inches diameter wafer is available, and a high level of surface flatness, orientation-flat accuracy and edge profiling accuracy can be finished.
Broad range of wafer surface orientation(crystal axis) including 128°Y and 64°Y can be provided.
 
PolishingPolishing
One-side mirror polishing is mainly used in order to prevent radio noise(spurious output) from the back-side of the wafer, which is characteristic of a SAW Filter. With mechano-chemical polishing using colloidal silica, it achieves a high spec mirror face roughness at several tens of nanometers.
The roughness of the back-side surface of the wafer widely varies from Ra=0.1µm to 4µm.
The thickness of wafer widely varies from 200µm to 1mm, and it is required highly accurate flatness and very few thickness variation.

Substrate for SAW Devices(LBO) INQUIRY
UsageSubstrate for SAW Devices(LBO)
Although its piezoelectricity is not so large, it is used as a filter for small PHS and key-less entry due to its temperataure stable feature(zero temperature coefficient of frequency).
Since the crystal is deliquenscent, it requires a technology such as atomospheric control for storage and device production.
 
ProcessingWafer Processing
3 and 4 inches diameters wafer are available.
The main crystal axis is 45°X.

Wafer for Low-pass Filter(LN) INQUIRY
Wafer for Low-pass Filter(LN) UsageWafer for Low-pass Filter(LN)
LN has a characteristic of large birefringence. Birefringence is the difference between the normal ray refractive index and extraordinary ray refractive index.
Since LN has a birefringence of 10 times greater than quartz and allows a low-pass filter to be thinly built, it is used in top class Digital S.L.R.(single-lens refles) Cameras.
 
ProcessingWafer Processing
The rectangular shape wafer is available, and the size and thickness can freely be chosen.
 
PolishingPolishing
Mirror polishing on both sides of rectangular wafer.
It is a polishing process to achieve highly accurate flatness and very few thickness variation, which are definitely required for optical application.
