In 2013, Rubicon launched 4" and 6" Patterned Sapphire Substrates, extending vertical integration "from powder to pattern".[2]
Rubicon Technology is engaged in developing, manufacturing and selling monocrystalline sapphire and other crystalline products forlight-emitting diodes,radio-frequency integrated circuits,optoelectronics, and other optical applications.[3]
Rubicon Technology produces Patterned Sapphire Substrates in 4" through 8"diameters. The company also produces sapphireingots, which are used as raw material for further fabrication. Additionally, Rubicon produces optical windows, with applications ranging from defense/aerospace and instrumentation to medical devices and polishedepi-ready substrates.[4]
