4Inch Quartz Wafer Diameter 100mm Fused Silica Wafer for Semiconductor Manufacturing
The 4-inch quartz wafer (100mm) is a large-format, ultra-high-purity fused silica substrate designed for high-precision, high-stability applications in semiconductors, optoelectronics, and advanced optics. Compared to 3-inch wafers, the 4-inch specification offers significantly greater usable area, improving production efficiency—particularly for batch manufacturing of IC photomasks, high-power laser optics, and MEMS sensors.
ZMSH specializes in the R&D and production of 4-inch and larger quartz wafers, offering:
- Full-size customization: Supports 4-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch wafers, with non-standard sizes (e.g., square, sector-shaped) available.
- High-precision processing: Includes double-side ultra-polishing (Ra≤0.5nm), laser dicing (±0.01mm tolerance), and micro-hole/special-shaped via drilling.
- Functional treatments: Anti-reflective (AR) coatings, IR anti-reflection, diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings, and more.
- Industry-grade solutions: Semiconductor-level cleanliness (Class 10), low defect density (≤0.1/cm²), ideal for EUV lithography and quantum computing.
