UV Grade AlN on Sapphire Templates

Kyma’s UV Grade AlN on Sapphire Templates, available in diameters from 2" to 6", consist of a thin layer of high purity crystalline AlN which is designed to meet the demanding requirements of UVC LED applications.

Kyma uses a cost-effective, patented, and proprietary process to manufacture these new templates which are available in 2-inch, 4-inch, and 6-inch diameters. They exhibit (002) and (102) XRD full-width at half maximum (FWHM) linewidths under 100 arcsec and 300 arcsec, respectively. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements show a root mean square (RMS) roughness value <2 nm with most wafers supplied so far being ~1 nm. 

Additionally, high substrate transparency is critical for obtaining high light extraction efficiency, which has been a significant problem for sublimation or physical vapor transport (PVT) grown bulk AlN substrates for UV-C applications. Kyma’s UV AlN Templates show an extremely clean bandgap all the way to the band edge.
