Precision-Cut Glass Substrates in Borosilicate, Quartz, Fused Silica, and More
Engineered Glass Wafer Solutions Tailored to Your Process Needs
At Lighting, we specialize in the custom fabrication of glass wafers across a wide range of materials, diameters, and surface finishes. Whether you're working on advanced semiconductor packaging, optical MEMS, photonic integration, or biomedical devices, our wafers are optimized for dimensional accuracy, thermal stability, and chemical compatibility with demanding process environments.
Available Materials for Custom Wafers
Material | Properties | Applications |
---|---|---|
Borosilicate Glass (e.g., BOROFLOAT® 33, D263T) | Low thermal expansion, good chemical resistance | Microfluidics, bonding substrates, photolithography |
Quartz / Fused Silica | High purity, UV/IR transparency, thermal shock resistance | Optoelectronics, UV lithography, vacuum windows |
Aluminosilicate Glass | High mechanical strength, scratch resistance | Flexible wafers, displays, protective covers |
Soda Lime Glass | Cost-effective, basic thermal/optical performance | Display testing, general-purpose wafers |
AF32 / EAGLE XG® / Willow Glass | Ultra-thin, alkali-free, display-grade | Thin semiconductor packaging, flexible electronics |
