Standard 5 MHz AT-cut quartz crystals with double-anchor electrodes for Inficon, Maxtek, Sigma Instruments, and Sycon QCM systems. Reliable and precise for general vacuum deposition monitoring. 14 mm diameter. Pack of 10.
These 5.000 MHz AT-cut quartz crystals are engineered by Phillip Technologies for compatibility with thin film deposition controllers from Inficon, Maxtek, Sigma Instruments, and Sycon. Featuring a standard 14 mm diameter and double-anchor electrode pattern, they are the industry-standard form factor for general-purpose film thickness monitoring.
Designed for stable performance across a wide range of vacuum deposition systems, these crystals provide reliable real-time feedback during evaporation, sputtering, and optical coating processes.
Double Anchor Electrode Pattern
The double-anchor design features:
Two symmetrical inner electrodes for stable oscillation
Balanced response under varying deposition angles
Optimized compatibility with Inficon-style QCM heads and OEM hardware
This pattern is widely supported and offers consistent performance in both R&D and production environments.

Electrode Options
Available with the following standard coatings:
Gold (Au): Chemically inert; ideal for reactive or corrosive deposition processes
Silver (Ag): Highest Q-factor; excellent for clean vacuum applications and optical film control
Aluminum (Al): Good thermal match; well-suited for high-temperature and aluminum-involved depositions
Each electrode type is vacuum-deposited and quality-checked for thickness, adhesion, and surface cleanliness.
Packaging
Each crystal is housed in a cleanroom-compatible tray to protect the sensitive active area:
Top Shell: Rigid PETG pharmaceutical-grade plastic
Base Tray: Hand-cleaned polystyrene
No anti-static additives to avoid leaching or surface contamination
Designed to avoid plastic contact with the central 3 mm sensing zone
This packaging system ensures each crystal arrives pristine and lab-ready.
Applications
PVD and thermal evaporation
Optical film deposition
Semiconductor thin film growth
Sputtering processes using Inficon or Maxtek monitors
General vacuum metrology and film rate control
