We provide wafer diameters from 1” to 18” and thicknesses ranging from 20 µm to several millimeters, including standard thicknesses according to SEMI and JEIDA standards.
With our flexibility and ability to implement custom designs, we create the optimal foundation for your projects.
What is a Silicon Wafer?
Silicon wafers are disks made of highly pure, monocrystalline silicon in various thicknesses. They serve as the base material for semiconductor components and stand out due to their excellent electrical and mechanical properties. This makes them indispensable in the semiconductor industry and beyond.

What types of Silicon Wafer do we offer?
Manufacturing processes
1. CZ Wafers (Czochralski Process)
These wafers are produced using the Czochralski method and are known for their stability and uniform crystal structures. They are ideal for standard semiconductor industry applications and are the most commonly used wafers.
2. MCZ Wafers (Magnetic Czochralski Process)
The MCZ method is a variation of the CZ method, where a magnetic field (vertical or horizontal) is applied to the molten silicon surface. This enables larger crystal diameters and controls convection flow, reducing oxygen concentration.
3. FZ Wafers (Float Zone Process)
FZ wafers, produced using the float-zone method, offer maximum purity and are optimal for precision applications such as MEMS, diodes, RF devices, IGBTs, and thyristors.
Quality grades
1. Prime Grade Wafer
Prime grade wafers are the highest quality silicon wafers, meeting the strictest SEMI standards. They are used in high-end semiconductor applications where top quality and precision are crucial.
2. Test Wafer
Test wafers meet lower requirements than prime wafers and offer a cost-effective alternative for development or testing purposes.
3. Reclaim Wafer
Reclaim wafers are recycled wafers that have been reprocessed through cleaning and polishing for reuse in testing or production.
We are happy to provide personalized advice on the different wafer types to find the best solution for your application.
