What is a Silicon Wafer?

A wafer is a thin piece of semiconductor material, normally silicon crystal. These wafers are used to fabricate integrated circuits (ICs) and other micro devices. Silicon wafers are available in a variety of sizes ranging from 25.4 mm (1 inch) to 300 mm (11.8 inches).

CZ Method



 

Prof. Jan Czochralski
The β€œFather” of Crystal Growth method
 

The CZ method was discovered in 1916 during crystallization of Tin, Zn and Sb. Prof. Czochralski obtained single crystal metal needles with diameter of ~ up 1 mm in diameter and 150 mm length. This method was forgotten until the end of the Second World War.

The Czochralski process is a technique used in making single-crystal silicon A solid seed of crystal is rotated and slowly extracted from a pool of molten Si It requires careful control to give crystals a desired purity and dimensions.
