Cleaving is a fast and simple technique used for preparing samples of silicon and other semiconductor materials; however, sapphire, despite being a single crystal material, does not cleave well.

This article shows how to prepare samples and downsize wafers in the cleanroom, without compromising the cleanliness of the wafers or cleanroom. In this article, the LatticeAx 420 scribeless cleaving ...

The elimination of sawing kerf loss combined with its ability to make thinner wafers of high quality make the implant-cleave wafering approach technically and economically attractive. For example, ...

First, it is used for downsizing the bare 2” or 3” wafer prior to fabrication of the nanostructures. Cleaving of the wafers is carried out along the crystallographic direction. Then, each wafer is ...

The SiGen NanoTec layer transfer tools and processes are built around two key process requirements: (1) strong atomic layer bonding of semiconductor wafers using SiGen Plasma Activation Technology and ...

SAN FRANCISCO–This is the dawning of the age of materials for the semiconductor industry. For process engineers trying to integrate all of the new and exotic materials in an attempt to keep ...
