Product Introduction
Product name: Lithium Aluminate (LiAlO2) Substrate
Lithium aluminate is a tetragonal oxide substrate with an unusual property for this price bracket: its lattice mismatch to GaN is small, about 1.4% along the c axis, which makes it a candidate for growing III-nitride films without the defect density that comes with sapphire.
Key properties:
The lattice match to YBaCuO and other high-temperature superconductors is good, with a low dielectric constant and low microwave loss. Against GaN the mismatch is small and the crystal is chemically stable at the temperatures used for growth, which is what makes it a III-V nitride substrate. Compared with ZnO and sapphire it is also a cost-effective optical substrate. The material belongs to the tetragonal system, space group P41212, with oxygen ions in a hexagonal close packing, lithium in tetrahedral and aluminium in octahedral sites.

Reported results:
published work around 2020 reports GaN devices on LiAlO2 reaching an output power density of 8.5 W/mm at 40 GHz, and epitaxial layers with a lower defect density than on sapphire. These are figures from the literature, not from our own device measurements.
Typical use:
epitaxial growth of III-V nitride semiconductors, GaN-based high electron mobility transistors, blue LED devices, microwave RF power devices and deep ultraviolet optoelectronic devices.
