Lithium Niobate Wafers Free of Pyro-Electric Effect
- High ability to neutralise electrical charges. Black Lithium Niobate wafers neutralise electrical charges even if the electrical potential occurs instantaneously
- Black Lithium Niobate shows no difference in piezoelectric properties from standard wafers
- High uniformity of Bulk Resistivity throughout the surface and depth of wafers
