Brief Introduction

Quartz Monitor Crystals 100% manufactured in house from raw material to final product

We control every distinct production step in the manufacture of our Quartz Monitor Crystals, from the supply of the high Q raw Quartz to the super precise Wire Saws used to cut the primary wafers. Add to this a strictly controlled lapping and contouring process and you have the foundation for a truly superior Quartz Monitor Crystal. By using our six stage proprietary washing process and angstrom level accuracy electrode plating all in clean room conditions we manufacture a truly advanced quality Quartz Monitor Crystal.

How to Choose the right Crystal

Our continuing research into quartz crystal characteristics results in ongoing improvements to offer the highest reliability in your process.

We recommend gold crystals for most applications. They have low contact resistance, high chemical stability. The gold electrodes crystals are best suited for low stress material coating monitoring, Such as gold, silver, copper film thickness control.

Silver crystals will provide superior performance in processes with high heat loads, such as sputtering. They may also improve the deposition of oxides.

Alloy crystals are recommended for optical coating with dielectric materials and for semiconductor processes with high-stress materials, Such as SiO, SiO2,MgF2,TiO2 and so on.
