6'' 8'' Advanced Lithium Niobate Wafers for High-Frequency SAW Signal Processing
Lithium Niobate (LiNbO3) – a versatile and remarkable material that has revolutionized the fields of optics, electronics, and beyond. This unique crystalline compound boasts an exceptional combination of properties, making it a cornerstone in modern technology.
LiNbO3 is renowned for its piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and nonlinear optical effects, enabling it to perform a wide range of functions with exceptional efficiency. Its high refractive index and transparency across a broad spectrum of wavelengths make it ideal for use in optical modulators, frequency converters, and optical waveguides.
In addition, LiNbO3's exceptional ferroelectric properties allow it to store and manipulate electric charges, making it a valuable material for high-density data storage and memory devices. Its stability and durability under various conditions ensure reliable performance in even the most challenging environments.
The versatility of LiNbO3 extends to its use in surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices, where its piezoelectric properties enable the conversion of electrical signals into mechanical vibrations, with applications in filters, resonators, and sensors.
As technology continues to advance, the demand for LiNbO3-based solutions is on the rise. Embrace this remarkable material and unlock new possibilities for your innovative projects.

FAQs:
A: We look at ourselves as the piezo wafer specialist. We are the very first to work with Single Crystal Quartz in China about 30 years ago. Then gradually we step in the field of LiNbO3, LiTaO3, Quartz glass, LGS, CTGS etc. Especially, if you are looking for a piezo quartz supplier, we are the ultimate choice! We export millions of quartz blanks each year because we master the AT, SC and IT cuts with superior angle precision.
A: Yes, of course. We can fabricate as per your request. In addition, we are so experienced with piezo wafers that we can provide you relevant suggestions if you are not 100% sure about your choice. Besides, we do have some standard wafers in stock, please check with us.
A: Yes, we would suggest you go with the courier agent you are most familiar with (DHL, FedEX, UPS etc.). We can ship via your account. And, of course, we will pack the products safely in acceptable size to help you save the shipping cost. If you need us to take care of the freight, it’s also not a problem. We also have good discount with the international courier companies.
A: The wafer products are fragile and sometimes expensive. The last thing, as the manufacturer, we want to see is the products we make were damaged during courier. As a result, we will pack the wafers adequately and put them in a proper carton filled with buffer sponge. However, accidents are inevitable sometimes. So, please follow the “Acceptance check” steps shown in the drawings below. If the unwanted happened, we will either give the replenishment or refund if you follow the checking steps.
