Sapphire Crystal Boule (Sapphire crystal material) is a synthetic single crystal alumina (α-Al₂O₃), It is usually grown by Czochralski (CZ) or Heat exchange Method (HEM). Because of its extremely high hardness (Mohs hardness 9, second only to diamond), excellent light transmission (ultraviolet to infrared band) and excellent chemical stability, sapphire is widely used in high-end optics, semiconductors, consumer electronics and industrial fields.
Sapphire Crystal Boule is a key material in semiconductor, optics, consumer electronics and other fields due to its ultra-high hardness, wide band light transmission and extreme environmental resistance. We offer full process solutions from crystal growth to precision machining to meet the needs of high-end applications.
