CY9505 Quartz Disc Dia. 101.6 mm x 3.2 mm, Polished

Quartz Disc Dia. 101.6 mm x 3.2 mm, Polished Description

The Quartz Disc is fabricated from high-purity SiO₂ and processed into a disc with a diameter of 101.6 mm and a thickness of 3.2 mm. Its mirror-like finish results from a controlled mechanical polishing process that minimises surface irregularities. The defined dimensions ensure compatibility with standard processing equipment used in optical, electronic, and crystallographic experiments. The material’s chemical inertness offers stability during high-temperature procedures and precise film depositions.

Quartz Disc Dia. 101.6 mm x 3.2 mm, Polished Packing

Packaged in static-dissipative, foam-lined containers, the disc is individually wrapped in anti-scratch film and sealed in moisture-resistant pouches. The packaging design prevents particulate contamination and mechanical damage. Stored in a controlled, dust-free environment, the pack can be customised with additional labelling and dividers to meet specific handling and transportation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What critical measurements should be verified upon receipt of the quartz disc?
A1: Verifying the diameter and thickness with calibrated micrometers ensures the disc meets the specified 101.6 mm and 3.2 mm requirements. Proper dimensional verification is essential for alignment in downstream crystal and electronic processing applications.

Q2: How does the polished finish affect its performance in microfabrication processes?
A2: The mirror-like polished surface minimises scattering and irregularities, which is crucial for achieving precise film deposition and optical calibration in microfabrication environments. This uniform surface finish helps maintain consistency in high-resolution applications.

Q3: What handling protocols are recommended to preserve the disc’s surface integrity?
A3: It is recommended to use antistatic gloves and cleanroom procedures to minimise particulate contamination and avoid scratches. These measures are essential when installing the disc in environments sensitive to surface irregularities.
