Pourquoi la découpe au fil diamanté est-elle la meilleure méthode pour traiter le germanium ?

If you’ve ever worked with germanium, you already know—it’s a tricky material. Dense, brittle, and not very forgiving under stress. Whether you’re producing IR optics, wafers, or custom lenses, how you cut Ge makes or breaks the result. That’s why diamond wire cutting has become the preferred method for processing germanium. Not just because it’s precise—but because it’s safer, cleaner, and more cost-effective than traditional options. What Makes Germanium Hard to Cut? Germanium behaves like a fragile piece of glass when under force: These factors make it a poor match for high-friction, high-pressure cutting tools. Traditional Blade Cutting The Problems Using dicing saws, ID blades, or abrasive wheels might seem straightforward—but here’s what usually happens: Here is a picture of what would happen if you do not choose a correct cut method. Diamond Wire Cutting: A Smarter Approach Diamond wire saws operate with a fine loop of diamond-coated wire moving

Comment réduire les dommages causés par le stress lors de la découpe de plaquettes de saphir ?

Introduction: The Fragility of Sapphire Under Pressure Sapphire wafers are prized in semiconductor, optoelectronic, and LED applications due to their superior hardness, optical transparency, and thermal stability. However, that same hardness also makes sapphire wafer cutting an inherently delicate process. When not properly controlled, cutting can introduce residual stresses that result in microcracks, edge chipping, or even catastrophic wafer breakage. Reducing stress damage is not only about preserving wafer integrity—it also improves surface finish, reduces post-processing needs, and increases yield. In this article, we explore practical techniques and equipment configurations that help minimize stress during the sapphire cutting process. Understanding the Root Causes of Stress Damage Stress damage in sapphire wafers typically originates from three key factors: These stress sources can cause crack initiation at microstructural weak points, especially near the wafer’s edge or at contact points with cutting media. Optimizing Cutting Parameters for Sapphire One of the most effective
