WAFER
A wafer is a piece of silicon or
other semiconductor designed in the form of a
disc. Engineers use these to complete the build
of an integrated circle. Various other thin
wafers handling systems require unique handling
tools such as Wafer Carrier, which is already
established in the market. There are different
requirements for carrier wafers depending on
requirement bonding and de-bonding techniques.

SILICON WAFER
Silicon Wafers are a material used for producing
semiconductors that improve the lives of people.
Silicon is the second most commonly used
material as it is used in both the technical and
electronic sectors. Silicon Wafer is a super
flat disc with a mirror-like surface which makes
it the flattest object in the world. It is
extremely thin and free of any impurities making
it the most perfect substrate material. Silicon
Wafer is used for the production of both chips
and microchips in electronic gadgets.

GLASS WAFER
Glass wafers thin discs of precision glass,
usually made of borosilicate glass quartz or
fused silica, and are used as a substrate
carrier for bonding silicon and other
substrates. These are used for a variety of
scientific and industrial applications. The
rising demand for wafers across several
industries boosted the growth of Glass Wafers
that are utilized in display engineering and
display glass inspection system.

SAPPHIRE
WAFER
Sapphire is a unique combination of physical,
chemical, and optical properties which makes it
resistant to high temperatures, thermal shock,
and water erosion making it a very good choice
to be a wafer. They are widely used in GaN and
thin-film epitaxial growth, silicon on sapphire,
the LED market, and the optics industry. It is
made by cutting the crystal bar and then
grinding and polishing.

SOS WAFER
Silicon on Sapphire wafer ranges from 3 to 200mm
and comes in small lot sizes making it ideal for
research and development applications. SOS
Wafers are used for the fabrication of high-
frequency devices such as RFICs, RF Amplifiers,
and RF Switches. High- quality SOS Wafers are
shipped worldwide for industrial research. SOS
gives an outstanding performance in
high-temperature environments.

SOI WAFER
Silicon on Wafer is manufactured by bonding two
silicon wafers together with an insulating oxide
layer between them. This middle layer is an
excellent insulating layer. The bottom layer is
the supporting layer and can be utilized in
sealing the structure as part of the sensing
element or the devices. SOI Wafers provides
additional design freedom, maximum device
performance, cost-effectiveness, and ease of
manufacturing.

• Coated Wafer
• These wafers are the most widely used and have a
  coating of oxide and nitride. These wafers are
  used for the exfoliation of 2D materials where
  the flatness of the object is highly important.
  The wafers are typically loaded in hot furnaces
  where they are slowly heated using oxidation
  temperature. It is then held at the desired
  temperature where it grows the ideal thickness.
  This method makes sure that both sides are
  oxidized.

Wafer manufacturing is a very less known process
but it plays a very important role in our daily
lives. Wafers have allowed most devices to get
smaller and more efficient and without this, we
might still be walking with three-pound mobile
phones. But what is most important is the
material being used to make the Carrier Wafer
or any other product such as a Ball Mill for sale
for that matter.
