MgO Wafer (111) (100) Polished Magnesium oxide Monocrystal Semiconductor Customized
Single crystal MgO wafers are a staple of thin film labs for
supporting high-quality oxide (and metal) epitaxial thin film
growth including semiconducting, superconducting, dielectric,
ferroelectric, and ferromagnetic oxides. MgO crystals grow nicely
with minimal defects meaning it is available up to 2 inch diameter
and as a high hardness material can be polished with near
atomic-scale roughness (rms <0.2 nm).
Due to its high transparency (even at 0.5 mm thick >85%), it is
often used for optical experiments to investigate the film on top,
in which case select the double side polished if doing these
measurements in transmission mode.
Electrical Insulation: MgO wafers exhibit excellent electrical
insulation properties, making them suitable for use in electronic
devices and insulating layers in semiconductor applications.
Thermal Stability: MgO wafers have high thermal stability and can
withstand high temperatures, which is advantageous for applications
requiring heat resistance.
Optical Transparency: In certain wavelengths, MgO wafers
demonstrate good optical transparency, making them useful in
optoelectronic applications such as LEDs and laser diodes.
Hardness: MgO wafers are characterized by their high hardness,
which contributes to their durability and resistance to wear and
abrasion.
Chemical Inertness: MgO wafers are chemically inert and resistant
to corrosion, enhancing their suitability for use in harsh
environments and chemical processes.
Crystal Structure: MgO wafers typically have a cubic crystal
structure, which can impact their physical and optical properties.
Dielectric Properties: MgO wafers exhibit favorable dielectric
properties, making them suitable for use in capacitors and other
electronic components.
Magnetic Properties: In certain configurations, MgO wafers can
exhibit magnetic properties, which are beneficial for applications
in magnetic tunnel junctions and magnetic storage devices.

1.Q: What is magnesium oxide substrates?
A: Magnesium Oxide Single Crystal Substrate is used to make
magnetic films, semiconductor films, optical films,
high-temperature superconducting films, etc.
2.Q: How do you clean MgO substrate?
A: Magnesium Oxide Single Crystals absorb moisture which will
damage the surface of the crystals. To protect the polish from
moisture, ESPI packages the material under dry argon gas. To clean
the crystals, soak in alcohol, preferably methanol. The crystals
should be held in this solution until ready for film growth.
