Semiconductor materials

Wafers & Substrates

Compound semiconductor, silicon, silicon carbide and sapphire substrates configured for research and device development.

Material range

Built around the specification.

Wafer specifications contain many interdependent parameters. Please include material, diameter, orientation, thickness, doping, surface finish and quantity.

01

III–V Wafers

Compound semiconductor substrates for photonics, RF, infrared and electronic devices.

  • GaAs, GaN, GaSb, InP and InAs
  • Dopant, carrier concentration or resistivity range
  • Orientation, offcut, flat/notch and epi-ready finish
02

Silicon & Silicon Carbide

Research and device substrates in established semiconductor material platforms.

  • Silicon: P-type, N-type, intrinsic or SOI
  • SiC polytype, conductivity and off-axis orientation
  • Prime, test or research grade; SSP or DSP
03

Surface & Geometry Control

Mechanical and surface parameters are defined together for process compatibility.

  • Thickness and total-thickness variation (TTV)
  • Bow, warp and edge exclusion where critical
  • Front/back surface, roughness and packaging
04

Sapphire & Specialty Substrates

Insulating, piezoelectric and optical substrates for epitaxy, coatings and advanced research.

  • Sapphire, quartz, MgO and SrTiO₃
  • LiNbO₃, LNOI/TFLN and LiTaO₃
  • Cut, termination, film stack and custom thickness

Frequently asked questions

Before you request a quote.

Every order is reviewed against the complete technical specification.

Which wafer specifications are needed for a quote?

Please provide material, diameter, crystal orientation and offcut, thickness, TTV where critical, doping or resistivity, surface finish, grade, edge or notch requirement, quantity and any epi-ready or packaging requirement.

Can Adesis supply doped and semi-insulating wafers?

Yes. Doped, undoped and semi-insulating options are evaluated for materials such as GaAs, InP, GaN, silicon and SiC, subject to the complete specification.

Are single-side and double-side polished substrates available?

Both finishes may be available. Surface roughness, epi-ready preparation and front or back side requirements should be stated in the inquiry.

Does the portfolio include photonics substrates?

Yes. The range includes bulk lithium niobate, thin-film lithium niobate or LNOI, lithium tantalate, III–V wafers, sapphire and other optical substrates.

Can bow, warp, TTV and surface roughness be specified?

Yes. Mechanical geometry and surface parameters can be included in the inquiry. Availability and test limits are confirmed for the selected material, diameter and grade.
