In booth #2321 at SEMICON China 2016 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (15-17 March), Monocrystal Inc of Stavropol, Russia (which manufactures large-diameter sapphire substrates and cores for LED, optical product and RFIC applications) is exhibiting the first 300kg KY (Kyropoulos) sapphire crystal, together with its traditional products for LED, consumer electronics and optics.
Monocrystal says that last July it became the first company to grow a 300kg sapphire crystal using the Kyropoulos method. "We welcome our existing and potential customers to our booth to discuss the prospects of large-size sapphire applications, which can be enabled by our extra-large crystals," says CEO Oleg Kachalov.
As well as showcasing the 300kg crystal, Monocrystal is also giving a presentation on 16 March at the LED China Conference 2016 in the Kerry Hotel Pudong, Shanghai.
