  • Silicon on Sapphire (SOS)
    Silicon on sapphire (SOS) is a hetero-epitaxial process wherein a thin layer of silicon is 'grown” on a sapphire (Al2O3) wafer. SOS is part of the silicon on insulator (SOI) family of CMOS technologies. Silicon on sapphire is primarily used in military and space applications because of its inherent
  • Thin Film Resonator Technology
    piezoelectric transducers using CdS or ZnO, were first used in microwave delay lines as a means of generating the high frequency wide bandwidth time delays required by radar signal processing applications. These delay lines required piezoelectric plates bonded to the delay medium (which was often sapphire

    of such materials as sapphire, calcium fluoride, or zinc selenide. The signal from a detector facing the laser provides information on the identity and concentration of the molecules present as the laser is tuned across the relevant absorption bands. Semiconductor lasers fabricated using epitaxially

    with a sensor that uses near-infrared-reflectance spectroscopy to take readings through a sapphire "window" on its bottom. Initial field trials have demonstrated an ability to measure moisture, organic carbon, and total nitrogen in soils. Data from on-the-go soil analyses particularly of important
