Liquid-phase epitaxy

The Carat’s integrated laboratory-production module
for fabrication of thin single crystal layers by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE)
method is equipped with world first class facility and has not analogs in
Equipment facilities of the complex give us
possibility to carry out technology developments for fabrication of complex
oxide single crystal films and epitaxial structures on up-to-date world level.
The LPE laboratory’s scientists and engineers are
developing technologies, which allow to obtain new high-tech products –
epitaxial structures of complexly-substituted rare earth garnets with diameter
till 3" (
High quality of the end products is ensured by
execution of all manufacturing operations starting from preparation of growth
runs till finish structure cleaning and packing in class «100» clean room, in
which strict technical conditions of microclimate is regularly keeping.

Among numerous developments of the Company are new
materials for magneto- and quantum electronics:
- Wide nomenclature of epitaxial structures on the
base of yttrium iron garnets (YIG) for designing new generation of planar
integrated microwave devices of spin-wave electronics and spintronics;
- Structures based on rare earth iron garnets with
giant magnetooptic Faraday effect for visualizers of electromagnetic fields,
light beam control devices, and other applications in applied magnetooptics;
- Garnet structures with controlled magnetic
properties for ultrasensitive sensors of weak DC and AC magnetic fields;
- Thin film structures on the base of rare earth aluminum and gallium garnets that are intended for utilization as active media of subminiature microchip lasers, high-power industrial disk lasers, passive Q-switches, thin film solid state scintillators, etc.
