Semiconductor Wafers: Types & Uses!
When we look around, we will see many things and objects that use silicon or other semiconductor devices in one way or another on televisions, laptops, mobile phones, smart devices, and other readily available circuitry. So, there is an increase in demand for wafer-handling equipment . Types of Semiconductor Wafers Broadly, there are two major types of wafers: Undoped Semiconductor Wafers Doped Semiconductor Wafers Undoped Semiconductor Wafers The undoped semiconductor wafers are made using glass-like silicon or other semiconductor material. They are ideal semiconductor wafers, otherwise called 'characteristic semiconductor wafers.' Doped Semiconductor Wafers Generally, Silicon semiconductor wafers are never 100 percent silicon or unadulterated semiconductor material. Instead, they are made with a contamination component of doping, which is completed during the development of the semiconductor material. The doping of silicon or other semiconductor materia
