Advanced Ceramic Materials & Components

 Cactus Materials has the muscle power and engineering know-how to develop custom designed ceramic components of the highest quality.
​Some of the ceramic materials used are SiC, SiN, B4C, AlN, Alumina and zero expansion ceramic materials.

Sialon

Sialon is a low thermal expansion and high stiffness Si3N4-based ceramic featuring superior strength at high temperatures.

Applications:

• Slider and stage
• Vacuum chucks, work mounts, tool holders
• Used in ultra precision machine tools and measuring instruments

Boron Carbide B4C

Extremely low weight, high stiffness and high hardness ceramic. Boron carbide has been used as an abrasive due to its high hardness, surpassed only by diamond and c-BN.

Applications:

• Ultra precision stages in semiconductor manufacturing equipment
• Sand blasting nozzles

WDS-Ultra

WDS-Ultra is a microporous insulation material with an extremely low coefficient of thermal conductivity.
​

Applications: 

• Electronic devices
• Measurement equipment
• Plant construction parts
• Fire protection equipment
• Heat treatment system for glass

High Temperature Ceramic Wafer Chuck

State-of-the-art precise wafer table with an ultimate level of flatness < 100 nm and smoothness of up to 450 mm
​​(AlN, Alumina, SiC, SiN, B4C, and ultra-low thermal expansion materials) ​

Features

High de-chucking response

The precise control of the microstructure and crystal phase of the dielectric material resulted in the excellent de-chucking response.

Strong chucking force

Strong chucking force is a result of the material's pore-free microstructure and extremely smooth polished surface.

High durability

The dielectric, electrode, and insulating parts are bonded integrally in a single sintering process.
