A silicon wafer is a material essential for manufacturing semiconductors, which are found in all kinds of electronic devices that enrich our lives.

This ultra-flat disk is polished to a mirror-like surface, and made as free as possible of tiny surface irregularities, making it the flattest object in the world. It is also ultra-clean, virtually free of microparticles and other impurities. These qualities are necessary so it can be used as the substrate material of todays state-of-the-art semiconductors.

Polished Wafer is a thin disc-shaped single crystal silicon product manufactured from high-purity poly-crystalline silicon by undergoing melting, crystal growth, cutting, polishing and washing processes. It is produced in diameters of 200mm/300mm and is usually used in the manufacture of memory semi-conductors such as DRAM/NAND Flash Memory.
