Company scope
What the company makes
OPAL Quartz is the trading brand of Zhejiang Aobo Quartz Technology Co., Ltd., based in Huzhou and founded in September 2010. The company timeline says it started out developing and making photovoltaic quartz accessories, then moved into higher-end quartz parts for semiconductor tools.
The catalogue is now grouped by process: wet processing, diffusion, epitaxy and etching. The diffusion group lists tubes, boats, carriers, carrier bases and insulation components. These parts go into a diffusion furnace; the furnace itself, with its recipe, controls and output, comes from the tool builder.
A Zhejiang science-department directory lists the company as sponsor of a high-purity quartz institute whose work covers supporting parts for semiconductor and photovoltaic use. The directory and OPAL's contact page both give the Licheng industrial park in Huzhou as the address. Grade, dimensions, cleaning and operating conditions for any single part are set in the quotation.

OPAL Quartz from PV accessories to semiconductor parts
2010: photovoltaic quartz accessories
OPAL's timeline opens with PV quartz parts, which is why its diffusion range is relevant to solar furnace buyers. Model data and output figures for today come from the current catalogue and your quotation, and each newer part needs its own check against a PV furnace. Those diffusion parts serve the doping step of solar cell production. [1]
2015–2020: semiconductor work and a clean workshop
From 2015 the timeline shifts toward semiconductor quartz. In 2020 it adds a standardised clean workshop with production and inspection equipment. OPAL says it buys quartz from the United States, Germany and Japan to suit each customer. Ask for the material brand and grade, the workshop cleanliness class and the inspection procedure that will apply to your order. [1]
2021 onward: new name and growth
OPAL reports a shareholding conversion and a change of brand and company name in 2021, followed by wider delivery and market growth. Check that any former name lines up with the current registration and the name on your contract. For staff, site area and capital, ask OPAL for current figures with the offer. [1]
OPAL diffusion catalogue
OPAL diffusion tubes, boats, carriers and insulation as separate parts
| Catalogue group | How OPAL lists it | Specify for the quote |
|---|---|---|
| Quartz furnace tube | A named tube under diffusion quartz | Tube and port geometry, grade, thermal and gas conditions |
| Quartz boats and cage boats | Their own wafer-holding entries | Slot layout, wafer format, supports and loading interfaces |
| Wafer carriers and bases | Separate carrier and support entries | What is included and the docking dimensions to the tool |
| Insulation base and cylinder | Separate insulation entries | Position, material, thermal duty and the parts next to it |
Rows follow OPAL's catalogue names. Ask OPAL to list in the quotation which parts are included and how they fit together. [2][3]
Check the 12-inch boat against your solar wafer
One boat in the catalogue carries a 12-inch label. Square solar-cell formats, slot pitch and the number of wafers a PV boat holds need their own drawing. The furnace-tube entry has no numerical table either, so both parts are quoted from a current drawing and your process conditions. Automated loaders move PV boats in and out of the tube, so add your wafer handling interface to the drawing package. [4][3]
OPAL quality page and Zhejiang institute directory
Documents to request behind OPAL's workshop and certificate headings
Certificate headings
OPAL's company page shows headings for environmental, occupational safety, quality and intellectual-property management systems, plus a high-tech enterprise presentation. Certificate numbers, holder, address scope and validity dates are not printed. Ask OPAL for copies and check them with the issuing bodies. The institute listing is a different kind of record and stands apart from these certificates. [1][6]
Product pages without data
The tube page names the part and its diffusion category. Some other product pages show placeholder template text where data would go. OPAL publishes no purity, wall thickness, temperature, lifetime or leak-rate figure, so request the tube drawing, batch and grade records, and the inspection and cleaning documents for your process. [3][4]
Website and company name
Older company records list a different web domain. The current OPAL site gives the exact Chinese company name, and the provincial directory lists a matching institute sponsor in Huzhou. Ask OPAL to confirm its registered identity today and any former name on the contract. [1][5][6]
Project fit
Match the offering to your project
Buyers who need quartz parts for a defined diffusion or related process and can send the receiving tool's drawing. The same catalogue serves semiconductor formats, so confirm PV fit model by model.
Tubes, boats, carriers and insulation are best bought as separate line items. A full hot-zone set or a complete furnace has to be quoted as exactly that.
Confirm before ordering
- A controlled tube drawing, the quartz grade and purity, the thermal range and an inspection report for the part offered.
- The accepted wafer format and slot layout for your PV cells, since the catalogue boat is labelled 12-inch.
- Current registration, the certificate holder, address and expiry dates, and a workshop audit if your buyers require one before approval.
Based on OPAL's company, diffusion, tube, 12-inch boat and contact pages and a Zhejiang institute listing. Specifications OPAL does not publish are left out.

Continue to sourcing requestBuyer questions
Is OPAL a semiconductor supplier with no PV background?
No. OPAL's timeline names PV quartz accessories as its first business, and the provincial institute listing covers photovoltaic supporting quartz parts. Whether a given part fits your PV furnace is settled against your drawing. [1][6]
Is the 12-inch quartz boat a standard solar-cell carrier?
No. It is its own catalogue entry, and its page gives no square-cell format, slot geometry or loading layout for a PV tool. [4]
Can I order the furnace tube from a published temperature or purity table?
The tube page has no such table. Ask for the grade and a controlled drawing, and state your thermal, gas, cleaning and inspection requirements. [3]
