Substrate single crystals

We are a leading manufacturer and supplier of research materials


Please request your non-binding offer. You can use our crystal designer or our inquiry form.
Single-crystal substrates are characterized by the absence of grain boundaries, a consistently ordered crystal structure and high purity. They are therefore predestined for use as a single crystal for investigating fundamental effects or as a substrate for the deposition of thin layers. The quality of the crystal structure and the best possible formation of atomically smooth terraces on the surfaces are essential for all applications.

Kristall

The standard orientations are (111), (110), and (100) for cubic substrates and (0001), (1010) and (1120) for hexagonal crystals. We are also happy to offer other orientations on REQUEST. The standard accuracy of the orientation of substrate surfaces is < 0.5°. On request, an orientation accuracy of <0.1° is also possible. We are also happy to carry out a one-sided or two-sided polish with EPI quality to ensure a coating with good adhesion.

Kristall

The typical thickness for substrates is 0.5 - 1.0 mm with dimensions of 5 x 5 mm to 10 x 10 mm or Ø 5 - 10 mm diameter for round substrates. Kristall
Besides our single crystal substrates we also offer STO on Si substrates. These consist of a 4nm thick SrTiO3 layer epitaxially grown on top of a (001) oriented and 725μm thick silicon substrate. STO on Si
