Research Summary
A silicon wafer is a thin, circular slice of crystalline silicon used as the foundation for the fabrication of semiconductor devices, such as integrated circuits (ICs) and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). These wafers are typically produced through a process called crystal growth, where a silicon ingot is sliced into thin disks and polished to achieve a smooth, flat surface. Silicon wafers come in various diameters, ranging from a few millimeters to over 300 millimeters, with the most common sizes being 100mm, 150mm, and 200mm. They serve as the substrate onto which multiple layers of semiconductor materials are deposited using techniques like chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or physical vapor deposition (PVD). The precise patterning and doping of these layers enable the creation of intricate electronic circuits and devices, making silicon wafers a fundamental component in modern electronics manufacturing processes.
