If you are in the wafer business (and we assume you are since you are reading this), it’s important to know about the cleaning and reclaiming process for wafers. Reclaimed wafers can be just as effective as brand new ones at a fraction of the cost. Let’s take a look at the cleaning and reclaiming process for INP reclaim wafers.
Wafer cleaning is an integral part of the wafer industry. The cleaning process involves the removal of particulate and chemical impurities from the semiconductor. It’s imperative during the cleaning process that the substrate is not damaged in any way. Wafer cleaning is ideal for silicon-based materials since it’s the most common element that is used. Some of the benefits of wafer cleaning include:
Wafer reclaiming is just what it sounds like. Used wafers are restored and made to look new, but cost less than a brand new wafer. Reclaimed wafers can be a great cost-effective option to buying a new wafer. There are six steps that go into successfully reclaiming a wafer so that it functions like a new one.
At Wafer World, we not only offer brand new wafers but reclaimed ones as well. Whether you are in the market for a new or reclaimed wafer, we have what you need for your next project. Contact us today to learn more.
