Keywords: Wafer flats convention v2.svg Wafer flats convention based on Image Wafer flats convention PNG Conventional meaning of flats in semiconductor wafers Red denotes material that has been removed Wafer orientation is the orientation of the crystallographic plane in which the crystal grew Wafer type indicated the type of doping <br /> Primary flat - indicates crystallographic planes of high symmetry usually the 110 face <br /> Secondary flat - it's position relative to Primary flat or it's absence is indicating the doping type and the orientation of wafer Absence - p 111 90° - p 100 180° - n 100 45° - n 111 Wafers under 200mm generally have flats indicating crystallographic planes of high symmetry usually the 110 face and in old-fashined wafers those below about 100mm diameter the wafer's orientation and doping type Modern wafers use a notch to convey this information in order to waste less material Orientation is important for wafer cleavage and can affect other structural and electronic properties as well self-made Inkscape 2008-02-29 Twisp Wafer flats convention PNG Wafers |
