Borosilicate Glass Wafers General Information


Borosilicate glass wafers are widely used for the process of anodic bonding of silicon with glass, so that the silicon’s thermal expansion is alike to these materials. Borosilicate glass wafers were developed for thin film electronic circuits, which require an extremely smooth surface with special electrical properties. The general application of thin and ultrathin Borosilicate glass wafers is an electronic packaging of optoelectronic conductors.
Borosilicate glass wafers are preferred in many industries, e.g. research and biomedical industry, thanks to its affordability. Borosilicate glass wafers, in case of an explosion to high temperatures manages to remain clear and solid. The production applies the coating of Indium Tin Oxide onto the surface, that is transparent in a visible spectrum which reflects the infrared spectrum back at the light source. This coating is also electrically conductive (~50 ohms/square). Such technology is required for the protection of the insides of lenses, cameras and film in projectors from heat of the light sources.
Borosilicate glass wafers are the base for a large number of MEMS applications and wide range of micro-optical Applications.

Carbon Nanotubes Specifications and Properties Carbon Nanotubes, simply CNTs, are allotropes of carbon with a round and hollow nanostructure. These barrel shaped carbon molecules have crucial properties, which are significant for nanotechnology, hardware, optics and other different fields of materials science and innovation. The carbon nanotube’s excellent quality as a strong and firm material laid the basis on many applications. Not to mention carbon nanotubes exceptional heat conductivity, electrical and mechanical properties, Carbon Nanotubes are used as additives to diverse auxiliary materials. In terms of rigidity and flexibility Carbon Nanotubes are the stiffest and strongest materials. These quality outcomes from the covalent sp2 bonds framed between the individual carbon molecules. Unlike Graphene , Carbon Nanotubes are either conductive or semiconducting along the tubular hub. Carbon Nanotubes also have absorption, fluorescence properties. Bulk Carbon nanotubes are util...

Boron Carbide Nanoparticles and Their Applications

Boron carbide  which has the chemical formula of B 4 C is one of the hardest materials among the ceramics materials after diamond and boron nitride. In addition to its hardness, it has high thermal stability, low density, chemical inertness and neutron capture property. At temperature above 1200  o C, its hardness exceeds that of the diamond. Thus, it is a crucial material for high technology applications such as abrasive for polishing and grinding media, ceramic amour applications for personal purpose and equipment, blasting nozzles, ceramic bearings, semiconductor applications for dielectric barriers, medical and nuclear applications. B4C (Boron Carbide) Nanoparticles (99.5+%, 40-60nm, Hexagonal)  show an outstanding hardness among the ceramic materials. Therefore, boron carbide nanoparticles are a suitable material for many high performance applications. Boron carbide nanoparticles can be used as polishing, lapping and grinding material for hard mater...
