Description
These 6.000 MHz AT-cut quartz crystals are engineered by Phillip Technologies for use in precision thin film deposition processes. Featuring an optically polished surface and double-anchor electrode layout, they offer exceptional stability, low noise, and compatibility with deposition monitors from Intellimetrics, Satis, and other systems requiring this electrode geometry.
Why Optically Polished?
Optical polishing dramatically improves frequency stability and reduces noise by minimizing surface scattering and edge defects. It also reduces contamination risks, especially in high-sensitivity optical and semiconductor applications.

Electrode Options
-
Gold (Au): Best for corrosive and chemically active environments; highly inert and widely compatible
-
Silver (Ag): Delivers the highest Q-factor and lowest noise; ideal for high-precision vacuum work
-
Aluminum (Al): Offers excellent thermal stability and lower stress under heat; great for high-temp or aluminum film processes
Not sure which to choose? Gold is a safe, all-purpose choice for most applications.
Packaging
Each 10-pack is housed in a cleanroom-ready tray designed to prevent contamination of the resonating region (within 3 mm of the center). Packaging features:
-
Rigid, pharmaceutical-grade PETG plastic top
-
Hand-cleaned polystyrene base
-
No anti-static additives (avoiding leaching or surface fogging)
-
Designed specifically to protect the crystal’s sensitive measurement zone
