Wafer

Manufacturing Term


A wafer is a thin, flat slice or disk of semiconductor material, most commonly made out of silicon. It is used as the base material for the creation of integrated circuits, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and other electronic components. The manufacturing process for wafers involves the growth of a crystal structure, the cutting and polishing of the crystal into a cylinder, and then slicing it into thin wafers using specialized saws.

Wafers are an essential component in the manufacturing industry because they provide the foundation for the creation of modern electronic devices. Integrated circuits, also known as microchips, are built on wafers using a complex process that involves etching tiny patterns onto the wafer's surface. These patterns create the intricate circuits that allow electronic devices to function, such as microprocessors, memory chips, and sensors.

Wafers have standard sizes, which depend on the type of manufacturing process used: 150mm, 200mm, 300mm, and 450mm. The larger size of wafers provides manufacturers with several benefits such as increased yield, improved production efficiency, and reduced manufacturing costs.

Overall, wafers are an essential component in modern manufacturing, particularly in the semiconductor industry, and are critical to the development and production of electronic devices.
