Tight geometric tolerances, no matter the thickness

SCHOTT’s unique melting technologies and advanced processing methods mean products can be manufactured across a wide range of thicknesses – from 0.03 mm to 3 mm, with custom thicknesses available on request. In all cases, tight geometric tolerances mean performance is always efficient and reliable, even in challenging application environments.

Multiple glass types with a broad CTE range

SCHOTT’s commitment to versatility is demonstrated by the number of different glass types available for its wafer and substrate products, offering coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) ranging from 3.2 x 10-6 / ºC to 9.4 x 10-6 / ºC. Our down-draw production process results in an excellent fire-polished surface without the need for further polishing.

Product variants

SCHOTT offers two different variants depending on customer needs: polished and unpolished. Unpolished substrates and wafers are available in a broad range of glass types, with a wide choice of thicknesses, tight geometrical tolerances, and excellent transmission, while the polished option adds exceptional TTV and flatness.
