Fused quartz is one of the most used glass substrates because of its low cost, high electric isolation, high light transmittance (>85%-95% depending on the spectrum), chemical resistance, hardness, mechanical & thermal strength.
Our substrates/wafers are made of high purity fused silica (SiO2> =99%) are type JGS2 and feature the following specifications:
