Grade and order selection
1. State the intended application and process temperature or environment.
2. Specify grade, dimensions, orientation or polytype, thickness and surface finish.
3. Define the inspection method, defect limits and required certificate data.
4. Confirm sample quantity, annual demand, packaging and delivery expectations.
Frequently asked questions
Is the D-grade diameter identical to P and R?
No. The supplied specification lists 24 ±1 mm for D grade and 25.4 ±0.5 mm for P and R grades.
What is the usable area?
The specification lists ≥90% usable area for all three grades.
Is the wafer epi-ready?
The Al face is CMP finished. Final epi-readiness should be confirmed against the customer’s cleaning, defect and surface-chemistry requirements.
