Heraeus Covantics

Every industry and application faces specific challenges with increasing complexity and demanding requirements. As a technology leader and leading-edge material specialist for the manufacturing and processing of the industry’s highest purity fused silica and other high-end materials such as ceramics and composites, Heraeus Covantics helps solve complex challenges of many applications. Some exciting examples include the following:

• Heraeus Covantics offers a variety of products and solutions for passive components in the telecommunications industry. The introduction of the Online-RIC^® system enables the manufacture of the world's largest preforms for easy and efficient drawing of optical fiber.
• Fusion energy, from hype to reality: Heraeus Covantics already supplies nuclear fusion research facilities worldwide with fused silica for laser optics and is closely involved in the technical progress around the development of fusion energy.
• A special technology is giving astronomers new ways to study our universe by mapping the Milky Way, determining position of a billion stars as well as exploring the dark universe and finding black holes. Special materials are helping to measure gravitational waves reaching our planet from deep space and even prove how the earth really “ticks”.
• Heraeus Covantics developed a wide portfolio of low bubble content material to address the challenges of uniform thin film deposition in semiconductor manufacturing. Achieving uniformity over the entire wafer area and the capability to deposit material uniformly on 3D structures at the nanometer scale are key drivers for new developments and requirements within semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
• Specialty optical fibers play a crucial role in modern medicine by supporting minimally invasive surgeries. They enable efficient transport of laser light into the body and provide flexibility to access hard-to-reach areas, leading to shorter recovery times and lower risk of complications for patients.
