Crystal innnov is the main European research and innovation hub in crystal growth and process for high tech and strategic applications. With state-of the art infrastructure (facilities with cleanrooms, industrial equipments...), and local and European partners, Cristal innnov offers an open innovation ecosystem for collaborative technology and crystal development as well as a best-class environment for start-ups in advanced material-based process and products. Together with its core partners, Cristal innov provides expertise in a large range of bulk crystals : - SAPPHIRE / corundum for optics/opptronics, substrates and niche applications - SCINTILLATORS for laser and detectors (medical, defense, astro-physics...) - SEMICON (eg. : InP, single SILICON) - PIEZOELECTRICS As this family of crystals offer a large potential of innovation, Cristal innov develops pilote lines and industrial process to supply high performance piezolectric crystals and components. We are now able to supply : LGT (Langatate) wafers HQ and space compliant QUARTZ blanks and wafers R&D collaborative projects in progess focus on : lead-free piezoelectric crystals - AlN for piezoelectric applications WE provide services as well : - collaborative projects hosting (for Start-ups, H2020 projects, open innovation between Groups and SMEs...) -> machining (oriented cutting, polishing, micro-machining) -> characterisation services
