Quartz SAW Wafer

Single crystal cultured quartz substrate wafer is most commonly specified as 3" or 100 mm with a reference flat.

The wafers are Y-cut with rotations specified between about 32° and 42.75° around the X-axis.

A high quality, low damage surface is prepared on one major (propagating) surface by polishing.

The back side is usually lapped to a rough finish to attenuate unwanted vibration modes.
