The Largest and Only Fully
Integrated Piezoelectric Single
Crystal Provider
CTS is the leading developer and manufacturer of high-performance
piezoelectric single crystals; specializing in lead magnesium niobate-lead
titanate (PMN-PT) based materials.
Currently the largest volume manufacturer of PMN-PT based
piezoelectric single crystal products, CTS’ materials are employed by
leading original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for use in acoustic
transduction devices such as actuators, sensors, ultrasonic imaging
transducers and active vibration controls. In addition, we manufacture
bulk acoustic wave devices for telecommunications, medical and defense
applications.
PMN-PT and PIN-PMN-PT Single Crystals Enable:
» Higher resolution medical ultrasound transducers due to higher
bandwidth
» Actuators with displacements up to three times that of PZT
actuators
» Reduced transducer size due to higher energy density
» Sensors with improved detection limits
» Unique vibration modes which are not available with PZT ceramics
The Single Crystal Leader
CTS Corporation is the largest, fully integrated
developer and manufacturer of piezoelectric
single crystals.
Capable of high volume manufacturing of both
PMN-PT and PIN-PMN-PT monolithic crystals,
CTS’ single crystal manufacturing facility utilizes
proprietary manufacturing processes and
intellectual property for large-scale production of
single crystals.
In-House Production Capabilities Include:
• Crystal growth
• Platinum crucible manufacturing (platinum
refining and crucible refurbishment)
• Chemical batch purification
• Crystal orientation
• Machining (slicing, grinding, lapping and
polishing)
• Plasma magnetron sputtering for coating
electrode
• Reactive ionized etching (RIE)
• IEEE standard electrical tests for quality
control
