Global Sapphire Technology Market Overview:
Aluminum oxide in its pure form having no porosity and being dense in nature is nothing but sapphire. Sapphire is extensively used as an electronic substrate due to high purity and low dislocation hence being an ideal material. In high frequency and high power CMOS integrated circuits, thin sapphire wafers are used as an insulating substrate. These chips are used in high power radio frequency applications such as satellite communication systems, cellular telephones, and others; these chips are known as sapphire or silicon chips. Both digital and analog circuitry integration exists in the SOS chips. Sapphire balances the generated heat in the circuit and even offers good insulation since sapphire has lower conductivity for electricity and higher for heat.
