R-plane Sapphire (1-102), 57.6 degrees to C-plane, is the preferred material for Silicon-on-Sapphire used in semiconductor, microwave and pressure transducer applications. Typical applications for Silicon on Sapphire wafers include:
Valley provides backthinning services to thin SOS wafers to as thin as 125um thick. Typical diameter sizes of these wafers are 2″, 3″, 100mm, 125mm, 150mm and as large as 200mm can be processed. We are also looking to purchase reclaim SOS wafers and bare polished sapphire wafers.
