What Are Silicon Wafers?

Silicon wafers are ultra-flat, thin slices of single-crystal silicon that serve as the foundation for nearly every modern electronic device. They are used to fabricate integrated circuits (ICs), MEMS, sensors, photonic devices, power electronics, and solar cells. Through processes such as oxidation, photolithography, ion implantation, etching, and thin-film deposition, silicon wafers are transformed into the semiconductor devices found in computers, smartphones, automobiles, medical equipment, and communication systems.

UniversityWafer supplies prime, test, monitor, mechanical, reclaimed, Czochralski (CZ), and Float Zone (FZ) silicon wafers with custom diameters, crystal orientations, resistivities, thicknesses, polishing options, and deposited films for research, prototyping, and production.
