Product Overview
JGS1 and JGS2 quartz wafers are high purity fused silica substrates mainly composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂). These optical grade quartz wafers are widely used in semiconductor manufacturing, ultraviolet optical systems, laser equipment, and fiber optic communication devices.
JGS1 quartz wafers are produced using the chemical vapor deposition process. This manufacturing method provides extremely low metallic impurity levels and very low hydroxyl content, allowing excellent transmission performance in the deep ultraviolet region.
JGS2 quartz wafers are typically manufactured using the hydrogen oxygen flame fusion process. Compared with JGS1, JGS2 contains higher hydroxyl content but provides stable optical performance across the ultraviolet to near infrared spectrum while maintaining a more cost effective manufacturing process.
Quartz wafers are available in diameters from 2 inches to 12 inches and can be customized according to thickness, surface polishing requirements, and optical specifications.
