Silicon Wafer Slices in Eletronic Components in Layman's Terms
What are Silicon Wafers?
When pure silicon is sliced into thin circles it becomes a silicon wafer. These sliced wafers come from one pure silicon crystal. When it comes to the manufacturing microelectronic devices silicon wafers are considered to be the go to material.
What are the Applications for Silicon Wafers?
Silicon is widely considered the best material for most electronic devices. The electronics that silicon is commonly found in are, phones, microwaves, sensors, credit card security chips, mp3 players and many other devices. It is possible to apply silicon to all of these different devices through printing circuitry patterns on the wafers.
How are Silicon Wafers Made?
- Elemental silicon is refined from sand
- Sand is melted and then cools to re-crystallize silicon. This creates a large silicon crystal in a cylinder shape
- Thin slices are cut to form silicon wafers
- The surface is polished
- Circuit patterns are cut and polished into the wafers
- When printing is complete the wafers are inspected for issues or flaws
- Wafers are cut into chips which is considered dicing. These are a rectangle shape
What is the Cost of a Silicon Wafer?
The cost of a silicon wafer can range from <$1.00 to $50,000. There are many variables that must be considered like, polish, cut, size, purity, orientation and the printing. Visit our store for some price ranges.
Silicon Wafer Fun Facts
- Silicon wafers that are being manufactured are made from the purest material on Earth. Silicon has very few flaws and has near perfect purity.
- Silicon is transparent when exposed to infrared light.
- Polished wafers are used as protection for thermal cameras
- Silicon dioxide occurs when silicon is exposed to oxygen. This is the basic material in glass.
