Abstract of sapphire crystal boule
As grown Sapphire crystal boule Sapphire ingot optical device manufacturing
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.
Technical specifications
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.

Characteristic of sapphire crystal boule
1. Optical performance:
· Wide transmittance range (0.15~5.5μm), covering deep ultraviolet (DUV) to mid-infrared (MIR) bands.
· Refractive index 1.76@589nm, low birefringence (0.008), suitable for optical window and lens applications.
· Anti-reflection film (AR), high reflection film (HR) or filter film can be plated to optimize the transmittance of specific bands.
2. Mechanical properties:
· Mohs hardness 9, excellent scratch resistance, suitable for wear-resistant applications.
· Compressive strength >2GPa, bending strength >400MPa, strong impact resistance.
· It can be processed into Wafer, optical window, guide wheel, bearing and other forms.
3. Thermal properties:
· Melting point up to 2050℃, long-term working temperature up to 1900℃ (inert gas environment).
· Thermal conductivity 35W/(m·K), coefficient of thermal expansion 5.8×10⁻⁶/K (25~1000℃), heat shock resistance.
4. Chemical stability:
· Acid and alkali resistance (except hydrofluoric acid and hot concentrated sulfuric acid), strong oxidation resistance.
· Anti-radiation, suitable for extreme environment such as nuclear industry and aerospace.
Application of sapphire crystal boule
(1) Semiconductor industry
· LED epitaxial substrate: Used for GAN-based LED and Micro LED
epitaxial growth, providing a single crystal substrate with low
defect density.
· Semiconductor device window: as an observation window of etching machine and PECVD equipment, resistant to plasma corrosion.
· Wafer transfer guide wheel: used for wafer handling to avoid metal contamination.
(2) Optical and laser fields
