Glass Wafer 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. |
