Lithium Tantalate - Free of Pyro-Electric Discharge
- High ability to neutralise pyro-electric charges. Black Lithium Tantalate wafers neutralise electrical charges even if the electrical potential occurs instantaneously
- Black Lithium Tantalate shows no difference in piezoelectric properties from standard wafers
- High uniformity of Bulk Resistivity throughout the surface and depth of wafers
- Yellow (High physical strength) material now available
