Scientific Visual SA is the world leader in the inspection of semiconductors and optical materials prior to the manufacturing processes. It allows manufacturers to avoid significant processing costs related to coring, slicing, lapping, grinding and polishing initially defective material. Currently, defects in most of industrial crystals are identified at a very late stage in the process. In the case of Sapphire, from 7 to 20% of already processed items are rejected due to internal defects such as cracks and bubbles
