WG 5 - TC 49/WG 5

IEC 62276:2016 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:
- Corrections of Euler angle indications in Table 1 and axis directions in Figure 3.
- Definition of "twin" is not explained clearly enough in 3.3.3. Therefore it is revised by a more detailed definition.
- Etch channels maximum number at quartz wafer of seed which do not pass through from surface to back surface are classified for three grades in 4.2.13 a). Users use seed portions of quartz wafers for devices. They request quartz wafers with less etch channels in seeds to reduce defects of devices. The classification of etch channels in seed may prompt a rise in quartz wafer quality.

IEC 60758:2016 applies to synthetic quartz single crystals intended for manufacturing piezoelectric elements for frequency control, selection and optical applications. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- order rearrangement and review of terms and definitions;
- abolition as a standard of the infrared absorbance coefficient α3410;
- addition of the value measurement explanation by FT-IR equipment in annex;
- addition of the synthetic quartz crystal standards for optical applications.

IEC 62276:2012 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:
- terms and definitions are rearranged in accordance with the alphabetical order;
- "reduced LN" is appended to terms and definitions;
- "reduced LT" is appended to terms and definitions;
- reduction process is appended to terms and definitions.

IEC 60758:2008 applies to synthetic quartz single crystals intended for manufacturing piezoelectric elements for frequency control and selection. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- preparation of AT-cut slice sample for etching is changed to make it easier;
- etch channel grade classification is changed considering request of the user;
- explanation of quartz axes difference between IEEE and IEC is added as Annex F.
