Q1: What is the CAS Number for MgO single crystal substrate?
A: The base compound magnesium oxide has CAS No. 1309-48-4; this identifier applies to the bulk material. Individual single crystal substrates are not assigned unique CAS numbers as they are physical forms rather than chemical substances.
Q2: Is MgO substrate subject to extractable or leachable migration in aqueous or acidic environments during device processing?
A: MgO is highly alkaline and slowly hydrolyzes in humid or aqueous conditions, forming Mg(OH)₂. It is not recommended for prolonged exposure to pH < 10 or liquid-phase processing without protective capping. For cleanroom handling, dry N₂ purge and low-humidity storage (<30% RH) are advised.
Q3: How does MgO compare to STO (SrTiO₃) or LSAT (La₀.₃Sr₀.₇Al₀.₆₅Ta₀.₃₅O₃) for oxide heteroepitaxy?
A: MgO offers higher thermal conductivity and better lattice match for certain transition-metal oxides (e.g., NiO, CoO), but lacks the tunable dielectric constant and ferroelectric compatibility of STO or LSAT. Its lower symmetry (cubic vs. pseudo-cubic) simplifies domain control, though it requires careful interfacial engineering for polar-on-nonpolar growth.
Q4: Does your MgO substrate carry ISO 9001 or ISO 14001 certification for manufacturing traceability?
A: Yes — all MgO single crystal substrates are manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified processes. Batch-specific certificates of analysis (CoA), including orientation verification (XRD θ–2θ and φ-scans), surface roughness (AFM), and impurity screening (GDMS), are provided upon request.
