VECTOR TXT is a base material which allows manufactures of hard crystalline materials the advantage of making their own diamond slurry for optimum performance in polishing process. Manufacturing slurry at the facility where it is used offers substantial savings compared to purchasing a pre-made slurry. Besides gaining control of performance consistency and costs, diamond slurries made with VECTOR TXT can increase removal rates of the material by up to 2X while helping to reach optimum surface roughness.
The product also contains extra lubricating qualities for difficult processes such as Silicon Carbide. The extra lubrication allows for use of higher speeds and pressures. Exceptionally accurate finishes can be achieved down to a polished defect free finish.
Typical Properties:
- pH – 7.9
- Conductivity mS – 4.6
- Specific gravity – 1.03
On-site Diamond Slurry Mixing Maximizes Process Control and Savings
- Diamond power quality is better determined from diamond producers and diamond quality/PSD are larger contributors to wafer surface quality
- Lowering diamond power percentages can result in significant savings

Diamond Polishing Systems
- Thixotropic vehicles for dispersing diamond abrasives, ideal for hard crystalline materials like SiC, sapphire, and GaN
- Available as base vehicles or ready-to-use slurries with diamond powder
- Deliver reduced scratching, improved cut rate, and flatter surfaces—while simplifying post-lap cleanup
Benefits of Vector TXT and CE Diamond slurries include flatter wafers with reduced damage, cut-rate enhancement, reduced scratching, reduced abrasive usage, stain prevention and more consistent results. Additionally, because the products are water soluble, post-lap cleaning is much easier. Lapping vehicles are also compatible with all other Intersurface Dynamics products.
