World’s First
Copper-Free Silicon Wafers
Deeplight copper-free silicon wafers provide a clean, thermally stable substrate for Si₃N₄ and hybrid photonic circuits, enabling low-loss waveguides and repeatable soliton microcomb operation at wafer scale.
World’s First Copper-free silicon wafers are now available for evaluation
and production orders
Key Features
Copper-Diffusion Blocking Technology
Prevents copper migration into oxide and nitride layers, enabling stable, predictable photonic device behaviour.
Ultra-Low Optical Loss Platform
Provides a clean substrate for high-Q Si₃N₄ waveguides with reduced absorption and thermal drift.
Deterministic Soliton Microcomb Stability
Supports reliable and repeatable soliton generation, even at low repetition rates (~40 GHz).
