Features Of MgO Single Crystal Substrate

  1. High thermal conductivity (≈ 35–60 W/m·K at room temperature) enabling efficient heat dissipation in high-power devices.

  2. Excellent lattice match with perovskite oxides (e.g., LSMO, STO), supporting epitaxial growth of high-quality thin films.

  3. Wide bandgap (~7.8 eV) and high electrical resistivity (>10¹⁰ Ω·cm), ensuring superior dielectric performance and optical transparency in UV range.

  4. Chemically inert and stable in oxidizing environments up to 1800 °C, resisting reaction with common sputtering or MBE precursors.

  5. Low intrinsic defect density and atomically flat surface (RMS roughness < 0.2 nm over 5×5 µm), verified by AFM and XRD rocking curve FWHM < 0.02°.

Typical Applications Of MgO Single Crystal Substrate

  1. Heteroepitaxial growth of complex oxide thin films for spintronics and multiferroic devices.

  2. Substrate for high-temperature superconducting (HTS) YBCO and LSCO film deposition via pulsed laser deposition (PLD) or sputtering.

  3. Platform for quantum materials research including topological insulators and 2D oxide heterostructures.

  4. Reference substrate in X-ray diffraction (XRD) calibration and surface science studies requiring ultra-low background scattering.

  5. Base material for integrated optical waveguides and UV-transparent windows in specialized sensing systems.

MgO Single Crystal Substrate – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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.
