Get an academic and industrial perspective on wafer manufacturing with this comprehensive and up-to-date resource

Wafer Manufacturing: Shaping of Single Crystal Silicon Wafers delivers a comprehensive exploration of all the major stages in wafer manufacturing, from crystals to prime wafers. The distinguished authors have created a resource ideal for both researchers and developers that covers modern research and engineering practice in detail.

The book offers information on the state-of-the-art in wafer manufacturing, including new uses of wafers like Silicon-on-Insulator, Strained Silicon, MEMS, and MOEMS. It also discusses techniques that are equally applicable to other semiconductors such as III-V, II-VI, and IV-IV compounds.

The information contained within Wafer Manufacturing is geared towards relevant industry practices and allows for a refined understanding of process control and the manufacturing process. This allows the reader to implement the technology described in the book on a large scale.

Future challenges facing the wafer manufacturing industry, as well as potentially fruitful avenues of research are discussed as well. Readers will also benefit from:

• A thorough introduction to wafers and semiconductors, including discussions of the semiconductor revolution and silicon wavers used in device manufacturing
• An exploration of the generalized processes and flow of wafer manufacturing, including crystal growth and wafer forming
• An analysis of the physical and mechanical properties of a biobased composite with sisal powder
• A treatment of process modeling and manufacturing processes, including discussions of brittle materials, ductile machining, and abrasive machining
• An analysis of wafer slicing using a modern slurry wiresaw as well as other types of saws

Perfect for materials scientists and engineers, semiconductor physicists and technologists, and electrical engineers, Wafer Manufacturing: Shaping of Single Crystal Silicon Wafers will also earn a place in the libraries of professionals working in the semiconductor industry and information technology engineers who wish to better their understanding of the latest developments in wafer manufacturing.
