TiO₂ Wafer (Titanium Dioxide Substrate)
High-quality TiO₂ substrates for optical, photonic, and thin-film applications.
Description
🔷 Overview
Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) wafers, typically in the rutile phase, are single-crystal substrates widely used in optical devices, photonics, and thin-film epitaxy.
Rutile TiO₂ exhibits an extremely high refractive index and strong birefringence, making it one of the most suitable materials for optical components such as polarizers, beam splitters, and isolators.
In addition, TiO₂ substrates offer excellent chemical stability, mechanical hardness, and thermal stability, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.
Due to these properties, TiO₂ wafers are widely used as substrates for oxide thin films, photonic devices, and advanced research applications.
🔷 Key Features
- High refractive index (n ≈ 2.5–2.8) for optical applications
- Strong birefringence for polarization optics
- Excellent chemical and thermal stability
- High hardness (Mohs ~7) for durability
- Suitable for epitaxial growth of oxide thin films
- High dielectric constant and optical performance
- Available in multiple orientations and polishing options
