Alumina Ceramics Al 2 O 3

Alumina Ceramic Materials in Multiple Grades of Purity

Alumina ceramics are one of the most robust ceramics available. Alumina ceramics have outstanding properties that make them one of the most widely used ceramics for structural, wear, and corrosive environments. Additionally, with their exceptional electrical properties, high purity alumina ceramics are one of the preferred materials for semiconductor chamber applications.

Applications

Chamber parts in semiconductor equipment
Wafer transfer parts
FPD manufacturing equipment parts
Heat resistant and electrical insulation parts
