Targets Commercial-Scale Production of AlN-Based Technologies

MORRISVILLE, N.C., Feb. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- HexaTech, Inc. announced today the immediate production release of its new 3-inch (76.2 mm) diameter single crystal aluminum nitride (AlN) substrate product. Three-inch diameter substrates are seen as a key transition milestone toward the realization of 100 mm diameter material, supporting future high-volume production of AlN-based high voltage and high frequency electronic devices. As the world's leading commercial supplier of single crystal physical vapor transport (PVT)-grown AlN substrates, HexaTech is driving cutting-edge product performance coupled with production scale.

"With this 3-inch launch, HexaTech continues to build on its history of delivering AlN material with industry-leading structural and surface quality, retaining the same macroscopic defect-free performance we have been producing for many years with our existing 2-inch platform," remarked HexaTech Manager of Research and Development Dr. Rafael Dalmau.

Gregory Mills, HexaTech VP of Business Development noted, "HexaTech continues to drive increased value by delivering superior quality alongside reduced price per unit area to our customers. This accelerating trend will enable our customers to quickly transition from device research into production."

"With our strategic focus on substrate diameter expansion, this launch is once again demonstrating HexaTech's commitment to deliver our customers the market-leading AlN substrate solution," commented HexaTech CEO John Goehrke.

HexaTech's 2-inch and 3-inch diameter products are available now with standard lead times. For more information on HexaTech's technology and products, please visit www.hexatechinc.com, or contact HexaTech at [email protected].
