LaAlO₃ single crystal provides a good lattice match to many materials with perovskite structure. It is an  excellent substrate for epitaxial growth of high
     Tc superconductors, magnetic and ferro-electric thin films.
     The dielectric properties of LaAlO3 crystal are well suitable for low loss microwave and dielectric resonance  applications.

   Substrate Specifcations:

•      •  Wafer Size:   0.5'' x 0.5'' x 0.5 mm thickness +/-0.05 mm,
•      •  Wafer Orientation:   (100) +/-0.5 Deg
•      •  Polishing:   One side CMP polished with free sub-surface damaged.
•      •  Surface finish (RMS or Ra) :  < 10A
•      •  Package:    Under 1000 class clean room, and in 100 grade plastic bag in a wafer container.
•      •  Warning: LaAlO3 crystal  has a visible twin on a polished surface,
          which is normal nature .
