Glass Beveling can be reviewed for Glass Substrate, but the accepted route depends on glass grade, supplied form, dimensions, feature geometry, wall section, edge distance, finish and inspection method. The assigned process record notes: Glass Beveling: source-backed external reference facts retained from V3.2.1; only numeric facts are counted as numeric capability data. The assigned product record adds: Round wafer, flat/notched wafer, carrier wafer, structured wafer or bonded panel coupon.

Feature-specific approval
Tool access, wall section, edge distance, finish, datums, tolerance and inspection method must be approved for the actual drawing.
Compatibility Between the Product Geometry and Process Route
The review separates the intended operation from product-family assumptions and drawing-specific constraints.
| Review area | Assigned technical basis |
|---|---|
| Process purpose | Glass Beveling: source-backed external reference facts retained from V3.2.1; only numeric facts are counted as numeric capability data. |
| Product geometry | Round wafer, flat/notched wafer, carrier wafer, structured wafer or bonded panel coupon |
| Typical input form | Flat sheet, blank, tube, rod or preform as applicable to the named process |
| Process limitations | Public supplier values are not universal; blank numeric fields indicate that no transferable public value was verified |
| Inspection basis | Dimensional and visual inspection; add microscopy, profilometry or interferometry when the drawing requires it |
Glass Substrate Features That Affect the Process
Product-form records describe typical geometry and inspection needs; the supplied glass grade and drawing remain controlling inputs.
| Product requirement | What to define |
|---|---|
| Geometry and available forms | Round wafer, flat/notched wafer, carrier wafer, structured wafer or bonded panel coupon |
| Dimensions and thickness | 4–12 inch semiconductor quartzware context; wafer diameter and SEMI edge/notch requirements must be specified |
| Holes, cutouts and features | Dimension holes, slots, cutouts, steps, grooves, radii and their edge distances. |
| Edge and surface zones | Ground edge, chamfer or SEMI-style profile selected to reduce handling fracture |
| Inspection | Thickness map, TTV/bow/warp metrology, interferometry, edge-profile inspection, particle and surface-defect inspection |
| Packaging and handling | State cleanliness, protective film, separators, individual packing and shipping requirements. |
Glass Beveling References and Design Limits
Numeric values appear only when verified public process evidence is assigned. Proxy-family pages intentionally suppress numeric ranges.
| Process parameter | Reference value | Applicable condition |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum Thickness | 0.813 mm | Abrisa edge grinding/polishing program |
| Maximum Thickness | 50.8 mm | Abrisa edge grinding/polishing program |
| Minimum Part Size | 19.05 x 19.05 mm | Converted from the source imperial value 0.75 x 0.75 in; the source page metric text is inconsistent |
| Maximum Part Size | 533 x 533 mm | Abrisa edge grinding/polishing program |
| Dimensional Tolerance | ±0.254 mm; up to ±0.05 mm for parts 127 x 127 mm or smaller | Abrisa edge program |
| Parallelism | ±0.0127 mm | Swift edge-finishing equipment; converted from 0.0005 in |
| Design item | What must be reviewed |
|---|---|
| Thickness and part envelope | 0.813 mm 50.8 mm 19.05 x 19.05 mm 533 x 533 mm |
| Tooling and process condition | Cat-i states that beveling uses diamond-based tooling to grind angled surfaces into glass. |
| Tolerance and finish | ±0.254 mm; up to ±0.05 mm for parts 127 x 127 mm or smaller |
| Drawing review | For Glass Beveling on Glass Substrate, identify the glass grade, datums, processed features, edge and surface zones, quantity and inspection method. |
Inspection Focus for Glass Substrate Beveling Processing
Inspect the processed feature together with adjacent edges, surfaces, wall sections and functional zones.
| Review item | Project-specific focus |
|---|---|
| Process defects | Chipping, cracking, subsurface damage, dimensional error, contamination or surface defects as applicable |
| Process limitation | Public supplier values are not universal; blank numeric fields indicate that no transferable public value was verified |
| Design condition | Define material grade, thickness, geometry, edge distances, datum scheme, surface/edge acceptance and inspection method |
| Product design risk | Edge chips, high TTV, bow/warp, particles, alkali contamination and mismatch with bonding temperature |
| Product inspection | Thickness map, TTV/bow/warp metrology, interferometry, edge-profile inspection, particle and surface-defect inspection |
| Acceptance method | Flatness Measurement: Compare calibrated result with the drawing, purchase order or approved test specification |
