Single crystal wafers for surface acoustic wave (SAW) device applications - Specifications and measuring methods (IEC 62276:2025)

IEC 62276:2025 applies to the manufacture of synthetic quartz, lithium niobate (LN), lithium tantalate (LT), lithium tetraborate (LBO), and lanthanum gallium silicate (LGS) single crystal wafers intended for use as substrates in the manufacture of surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters and resonators.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) The terms and definitions, the technical requirements, sampling frequency, test methods and measurement of transmittance, lightness, colour difference for LN and LT have been added in order to meet the needs of industry development;
b) The term “inclusion” (mentioned in 4.13 and 6.10) and its definition have been added because there was no definition for it in Clause 3;
c) The specification of LTV and PLTV, and the corresponding description of sampling frequency for LN and LT have been added, because they are the key performance parameters for the wafers;
d) The tolerance of Curie temperature specification for LN and LT have been added in order to meet the development requirements of the industry;
e) Measurement of thickness, TV5, TTV, LTV and PLTV have been completed, including measurement principle and method of thickness, TV5, TTV, LTV and PLTV.

Tranches monocristallines pour applications utilisant des dispositifs à ondes acoustiques de surface (OAS) - Spécifications et méthodes de mesure (IEC 62276:2025)

L'IEC 62276:2025 s’applique à la fabrication de tranches monocristallines de quartz synthétique, de niobate de lithium (LN), de tantalate de lithium (LT), de tétraborate de lithium (LBO) et de silicate de gallium et de lanthane (LGS), destinées à être utilisées comme substrats dans la fabrication de résonateurs et de filtres à ondes acoustiques de surface (OAS).
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente:
a) les termes et définitions, les exigences techniques, la fréquence d’échantillonnage, les méthodes d'essai et la mesure de la transmission, de la clarté et de la différence de couleur pour le LN et le LT ont été ajoutés, afin de satisfaire aux besoins de développement industriel;
b) le terme « inclusion » mentionné en 4.13 et 6.10 et sa définition ont été ajoutés à l'Article 3, dans la mesure où ils n'était pas suffisamment défini;
c) la spécification de la LTV et du PLTV, et la description correspondante de la fréquence d'échantillonnage pour le LN et le LT ont été ajoutées, dans la mesure où elles correspondent aux paramètres de performances clés pour les tranches;
d) la tolérance de la spécification relative à la température de Curie pour le LN et le LT a été ajoutée afin de satisfaire aux exigences de développement de l'industrie;
e) la mesure de l'épaisseur, de la TV5, de la TTV, de la LTV et du PLTV a été réalisée, y compris le principe et la méthode de mesure de l'épaisseur, de la TV5, de la TTV, de la LTV et du PLTV.
