Optical Ceramics and Semiconductor Ceramics

 

 

Optical ceramics and semiconductor ceramics are specialized ceramic materials. Ceramic materials are used in fabricating and processing optical components such as lenses, windows, prisms, optical fiber and lasing materials. Single-crystal ceramics, transparent ceramics, sapphire and quartz are examples of ceramic materials with optical applications. Ceramics and other non-metallic compounds or elemental semiconductors are used as substrates and wafers in semiconductor manufacturing. Optical ceramics and semiconductor ceramics also used for wafer chucks, wafer furnace boats and thin film chamber liners.

Products & Services
Ceramic manufacturing services for parts and assemblies made of ceramic or refractory materials.  Search by Specification | Learn more about Ceramic Manufacturing Services
Ceramic balls are rolling, spherical elements that are used in check and ball valves, bearings, and other mechanical devices that provide rotary or linear motion. They can provide higher stiffness, lower thermal expansion, lighter weight, increased corrosion resistance, and higher electrical resistance than comparable steel products.
