Monitor Crystal

Quartz Monitor Crystals are essential components in thin-film deposition processes, ensuring precise monitoring of film thickness and deposition rates. At the heart of their performance lies meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout every stage of production. Our commitment to excellence ensures that each crystal is manufactured with unparalleled precision, from raw material sourcing to the final product.

Unmatched Production Process

We take pride in controlling every step of the manufacturing process for our Quartz Monitor Crystals. This begins with the selection of high-quality raw quartz, known for its exceptional “Q” factor, which is critical for optimal performance. Using state-of-the-art wire saws, we cut the primary wafers with super precision, ensuring uniformity and consistency in every crystal.

The process continues with a strictly controlled lapping and contouring phase, which lays the foundation for superior crystal quality. By combining cutting-edge technology with rigorous quality assurance, we achieve unparalleled accuracy and reliability in the finished product.

Advanced Cleaning and Plating Technology

One of the key factors that sets our Quartz Monitor Crystals apart is our proprietary six-stage washing process. Conducted in cleanroom conditions, this process eliminates even the smallest contaminants, ensuring pristine surfaces for optimal performance. Additionally, our electrode plating process achieves angstrom-level accuracy, further enhancing the crystal’s sensitivity and durability.

This combination of advanced cleaning and precision plating ensures that our crystals deliver consistent and reliable results, even in the most demanding applications.

Types of Crystals and Their Applications

Different types of crystals are tailored to specific applications based on their unique properties. Here’s a guide to help you choose the right one:

• Gold Electrode Crystals: These are ideal for most applications due to their low contact resistance and high chemical stability. Gold electrode crystals are particularly well-suited for monitoring low-stress material coatings, such as gold, silver, and copper film thickness control. Their reliability and durability make them a popular choice for a wide range of processes.
• Silver Electrode Crystals: Silver crystals excel in applications involving high heat loads, such as sputtering processes. They also enhance the deposition of oxides, making them an excellent option for environments where thermal performance is critical.
• Alloy Electrode Crystals: For optical coating applications involving dielectric materials or semiconductor processes with high-stress materials, alloy crystals are the recommended choice. These crystals perform exceptionally well with materials like SiO, SiO₂, MgF₂, TiO₂, and similar compounds, ensuring accurate and consistent monitoring.

Packaging Options for Convenience

To meet diverse operational needs, we offer three convenient packaging options designed to protect the integrity of the crystals during storage and handling:

• Black Flat-Pack Carousel Dispenser: This package holds 10 crystals in vacuum-sealed plastic bags. Crystals can be easily extracted using a vacuum pencil or directly dispensed into the holder.
