Sapphire crystal substrate has good thermal characteristics, excellent electrical and dielectric properties, and is resistant to chemical corrosion. It is resistant to high temperatures and has good thermal conductivity, high hardness, infrared transmission, and chemical stability. It is widely used in high-temperature resistant infrared window materials, III-V nitrides, and various epitaxial film substrate materials.
