Asahi Glass has reached the pinnicle of fused silica wafers with the development of their AQ wafer. The wafer's low hydroxy content, along with its ultra low impurity levels, provide the p-Si TFT display device, silicon-on-insulator (SOI), optical device and biochip manufacturers a stable and cost effective substrate for production.

Asahi Glass Low OH AQ fused silica wafers offer high strength, maximum temperature range and excellent optical transmission properties. This combination allows manufacturers to create new device structures or improve current manufacturing yields to unprecedented levels.
