Lithium Tantalate Wafers

Lithium tantalate (LiTaO3), has properties which make it useful for SAW (surface acoustic wave) devices and, to a different specification, for optical use. Wafers can be produced with varying properties, such as "black" wafers free of pyroelectric discharge, 4" (100mm), orientation 36°, 39°, 42 °, 46°, 48°, X-CUT ... detailed specifications, or with higher physical strength to withstand processing during manufacture, resulting in higher yields.
