Wafer fabrication is a procedure composed of many repeated sequential processes to produce complete electrical or photonic circuits on semiconductor wafers in semiconductor device fabrication process. Examples include production of radio frequency (RF) amplifiers, LEDs, optical computer components, and microprocessors for computers.
In 1985, KLA developed an automatic inspection tool for silicon wafers, which replaced manual microscope inspection. [48] In 1985, STmicroelectronics invented BCD, also called BCDMOS, a semiconductor manufacturing process using Bipolar, CMOS and LDMOS devices. [49] It can also be made with Bipolar, CMOS and DMOS devices. [50]
Bottom right: completed solar wafers. In electronics, a wafer (also called a slice or substrate) [ 1 ] is a thin slice of semiconductor, such as a crystalline silicon (c-Si, silicium), used for the fabrication of integrated circuits and, in photovoltaics, to manufacture solar cells. The wafer serves as the substrate for microelectronic devices ...
Die singulation. Die singulation, also called wafer dicing, is the process in semiconductor device fabrication by which dies are separated from a finished wafer of semiconductor. [1] Die singulation comes after the photolithography process. It can involve scribing and breaking, mechanical sawing (normally with a machine called a dicing saw) [2 ...
Etching is used in microfabrication to chemically remove layers from the surface of a wafer during manufacturing. Etching is a critically important process module in fabrication, and every wafer undergoes many etching steps before it is complete. For many etch steps, part of the wafer is protected from the etchant by a "masking" material which ...
Photolithography. Photolithography (also known as optical lithography) is a process used in the manufacturing of integrated circuits. It involves using light to transfer a pattern onto a substrate, typically a silicon wafer. The process begins with a photosensitive material, called a photoresist, being applied to the substrate.
