A Revolutionary Approach to Sapphire Crystal Growth

FAMETEC'S AWARD WINNING TECHNOLOGY

McSAP

McSAP, or “Multi-c-axis sapphire”, is a patented crystal growth technology that offers a significant improvement over traditional approaches like the Kyropoulos method. McSAP has many features that set it apart:

  • McSAP is based on a modified version of the Heat
    Exchanger Method (HEM), optimizing heat flow within the
    furnace to control crystal growth.
  • Unlike traditional methods limited to single-crystal growth, McSAP facilitates the simultaneous growth of multiple sapphire crystals along any desired crystal axis.
  • This eliminates the need for the wasteful
    coring and grinding steps typically required
    in traditional growth methods, significantly increasing the yield of usable, high-quality sapphire material.
  • Input resources such as seeding material and crucibles are of high value and can be reused as recycling material.
McSAP Technology

In sum, FAMETEC’s award-winning McSAP technology is a more productive and efficient process than any other method. Capable of growing large diameter crystals, this process is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly than traditional methods and reduces carbon footprints.
