Sapphire is basically aluminum oxide in its pure from which has no porosity or boundaries, and hence dense in nature. Low dislocation and high purity have led to adoption of sapphire as an ideal material to be used in wide range of electronic substrates. Thin sapphire wafers are used as an insulating substrate in high-frequency and high-power CMOS integrated circuits. These integrated circuits are known as silicon on sapphire (SOS) chip. These chips are primarily used for high-power radio- ... Read more

Sapphires are a type of gemstone formed based off a specific type of aluminum oxide. While they are typically blue in color, there are certain sapphires that can be found in other colors, such as orange or green, while some sapphires may even show two or more colors. There is a wide range of non-ornamental applications for sapphires and sapphire technology. Some of the key uses of sapphire technologies lie in optical and ... Read more
