Introduction to Silicon Wafer :
A Silicon Wafer is a thin, flat disk or substrate made from crystalline silicon, and it serves as a fundamental component in the manufacturing of various electronic and photonic devices. Silicon wafers are a crucial material in the semiconductor industry, playing a central role in the production of integrated circuits (ICs) and other microelectronic devices.
Silicon wafers are created through a process called crystal growth, where a single crystal of silicon is grown into a cylindrical ingot and then sliced into thin wafers. These wafers are then polished to a smooth surface and are subjected to various processing steps, such as doping, etching, and layering, to create the intricate patterns that form microelectronic circuits.
