Abstract

Sapphire has been the most widely used substrate material in LEDs, and the demand for non-C-planes crystal is increasing. In this paper, four crystal planes of the A-, C-, M- and R-plane were selected as the research objects. Nanoindentation technology and chemical mechanical polishing technology were used to study the effect of anisotropy on material properties and processing results. The consequence showed that the C-plane was the easiest crystal plane to process with the material removal rate of 5.93 nm/min, while the R-plane was the most difficult with the material removal rate of 2.47 nm/min. Moreover, the research results have great guiding significance for the processing of sapphire with different crystal orientations.
Keywords: sapphire; crystal orientation; anisotropy; polishing sapphire; crystal orientation; anisotropy; polishing
