A wafer, also known as substrate or slice, is a thin disk-like round material on which semiconductors are grown. In simple words, a wafer acts as the base to manufacture semiconductors. The first stage in the semiconductor manufacturing process is to produce a wafer. All the semiconductor manufacturing processes operate on the wafer surface to build the end product chip or integrated circuit (IC).

This report studies the Semiconductor Wafers, include silicon wafers, SiC wafers, GaAs wafers, etc.

Silicon wafers have the characteristics of controllable resistivity and oxygen-carbon content. The single crystal ingot undergoes slicing, lapping, polishing, cleaning and other processes to obtain a silicon wafer with a specific thickness & geometric parameters and a clean surface.

Silicon carbide wafers have excellent heat resistance and voltage resistance compared to silicon wafers that are widely used for semiconductors. SiC single crystal wafers can remarkably reduce energy loss during electric power control, significantly contributing to the reduction of energy use and environmental stress.

Gallium arsenide (GaAs) is a compound of the elements gallium and arsenic. It is a III-V direct bandgap semiconductor with a zinc blende crystal structure.

Silicon Carbide Wafer: currently the key manufacturers of SIC wafers include Wolfspeed, SK Siltron, ROHM Group , Coherent, Resonac, STMicroelectronics, TankeBlue, SICC, etc.
