Aluminium Single Crystal Substrate (110), 10x10x1 mm, SSP Packing

The substrate is individually sealed in an anti-static pouch and cushioned in moulded foam to minimise mechanical shock and contamination. It is stored in a temperature-regulated, low-humidity compartment to preserve its surface integrity and crystallographic properties. Anti-scratch liners and sealed containers further protect the product during transit. Packaging options can be customised with specific labelling and compartment arrangements for batch processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the (110) orientation influence deposition processes?
A1: The (110) orientation provides a specific crystallographic plane that aids in controlling epitaxial layer growth. This defined plane simplifies alignment during deposition, ensuring uniform film development in research and manufacturing applications.

Q2: What quality control measures are used during production?
A2: The production process incorporates electron microscopy and lattice uniformity evaluations at several stages. These assessments identify and minimise defects, ensuring the substrate meets the detailed requirements for academic and industrial studies.

Q3: What are the recommended storage conditions?
A3: The substrate should be stored in a low-humidity, temperature-controlled environment with anti-static and cushioned packaging. These conditions help maintain its surface integrity and defined crystallographic orientation, which are critical for subsequent processing steps.
