  • Electrical insulators
  • Thin film deposition
  • Transparent electronic substrate

Properties of Synthetic Sapphire

Synthetic sapphire is the hardest of all known oxide crystals with a 9 on the Mohs scale. Synthetic sapphire is second in hardness only to diamond and retains its high strength at high temperatures. Synthetic sapphire crystals have good thermal properties, with excellent electrical and dielectric properties. In addition, synthetic sapphire combines zero porosity with near-total resistance to acids and alkaline substances. Synthetic sapphire is insoluble in watch and only reacts with hydrofluoric acid, phosphoric acid, and potassium hydroxide at high temperatures above 300 degrees Celsius.

Stanford Materials has been a provider of many kinds of synthetic sapphires, including sapphire wafers, sapphire lenses, sapphire substrates, watch glasses, and sapphire boule for many years. Synthetic sapphire is an anisotropic hexagonal crystal. Its properties depend on crystallographic direction (relative to the optical C-axis). Our synthetic sapphire wafers are generated using the latest technology to maximize quality and transmittance. Because of our product’s quality, you can trust that it is your best choice for a variety of demanding applications.
