HexaTech Announces Expansion of High Transparency Aluminum Nitride Substrate Product Line

Jun 15, 2020

MORRISVILLE, N.C., June 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- HexaTech, Inc. announced today an expansion of its deep-UV transparent 2-inch diameter, single crystal aluminum nitride (AlN) substrate product line, launched earlier this year.  This new product line extension provides significantly higher substrate transparency for dramatically improved optoelectronic device performance.  HexaTech, the world's leading commercial supplier of single crystal AlN substrates, continues to drive technology development programs in direct support of the increasing application demands of the ultraviolet C (UV-C) wavelength light-emitting diode (LED) market.

"HexaTech has been laser-focused on accelerating the performance and production capabilities of our high transparency product line, which are being aggressively pursued by our customers," noted HexaTech CEO, John Goehrke.  He added, "We will continue with these intensive development efforts, and look forward to delivering even greater product performance and value in the coming months."

Dr. Raoul Schlesser, HexaTech CTO and co-founder, stated, "Based on a comprehensive matrix of crystal growth parameters, we have rapidly expanded our capabilities, reducing the deep-UV absorption coefficients by a factor of 2, to as low as 30 cm-1 at 265 nm.  Moreover, given recent results of our ongoing activities, we are confident in further improvements in transparency, without sacrificing the market-leading crystal quality that our customers have come to know and expect."

All of HexaTech's 2-inch diameter products, including the new deep-UV transparent substrate product line, are available now with standard lead times. For more information on HexaTech's technology and products, please visit www.hexatechinc.com, or contact HexaTech at [email protected].
