A wafer is a group of 50 to 1,500 integrated circuits all created at once on a thin sheet of silicon Wafer sizes range from 5 inches to 12 inches in diameter, and as you might have guessed the larger the wafer the larger the quantity of integrated circuits that can be made per wafer
a small adhesive disk of paste; used to seal letters
A thin cake made of flour and other ingredients
a small thin crisp cake or cookie
A small, thin, flat circular disk of a semiconducting material, such as pure silicon, that is masked, oxide-coated, doped, and otherwise processed for ultimate seperation into numerous individual electronic devices or for packaging as in integrated circuit
A thin sheet of semiconductor (photovoltaic material) made by cutting it from a single crystal or ingot
The thin ( a few hundred microns) slice sawn from a cylindrical semiconductor crystal which serves as the substrate for the fabrication of multiple individual integrated circuits or chips
A slice of semiconductor crystal ingot used as a substrate for transistors, diodes, and monolithic integrated circuits
A small, thin, circular slice of a semiconducting material, such as pure silicon, on which an integrated circuit can be formed
Semiconductor processing is done on round disks of silicon called wafers A current generation wafer is 8 inches in diameter, the thickness of a credit card, weighs about a third of a pound, and is polished to a mirror finish on one side It is silvery gray in color back to top
The substrate made usually from semiconductor material, such as silicon, that is used as the foundation to build IC's on
{f} close or seal with a wafer (an envelope); divide into wafers (Electronics); pack powdered medicine in dried flour paste or rice paper (Pharmacology)
the bread part of the Lord's Supper; often an unleavened, thin cracker; sometimes the wafer is imprinted with a cross; some wafers are large, bein several inches in diameter
another term for PV cell The panels that are installed at Spruce Meadows in Calgary are made up of 36 wafers, each 10 cm square
{i} thin crispy cookie or cracker (often eaten as a desert with ice cream); bite-size piece of unleavened bread taken during the Eucharist (Christianity); chip (Electronics); flat round bit of adhesive (as is used to seal an envelope)
All semiconductor devices are fabricated on wafers Round wafers are used in order to simplify automated handling during manufacturing CCDs are typically fabricated on 4", 5", or 6" wafers The semiconductor industry as a whole is currently moving toward 8" wafers, although one day wafers will be as large as an LP or record (12" in diameter)! The larger the wafer, the larger the number of devices that can fit on one wafer--thus reducing manufacturing costs
A wafer is a thin crisp biscuit which is usually eaten with ice cream
A disk of semiconductor material that forms the base on which a number of identical integrated circuits are built In some cases, two or more designs may be built on the same wafer In most facilities, five or more wafers are brought through each fabrication step simultaneously in a group known as a wafer lot
A thin disk of crystal semiconductor, usually silicon-based, upon which chips are fabricated   Extremely thin (1/50th of an inch) and usually only four or five inches in diameter
An adhesive disk of dried paste, made of flour, gelatin, isinglass, or the like, and coloring matter, used in sealing letters and other documents
To seal or close with a wafer
A wafer is a circular, thin piece of special bread which the priest gives people to eat in the Christian service of Holy Communion
The type of substrate often used in semiconductor chip fabrication Wafers are typically made of silicon and are round
In semiconductor technology, a very thin piece of silicon that functions as the base material for building microchips Also called a "slice "
Commonly, a slice of a semiconductor crystalline ingot whose active surface has been processed into arrays of discrete devices or integrated circuit
  A thin slice of semiconducting material, such as a silicon crystal, upon which microcircuits are constructed by diffusion and deposition of various materials   Note:   Millions of individual circuit elements, constituting hundreds of microcircuits, may be constructed on a single wafer   The individual microcircuits are separated by scoring and breaking the wafer into individual chips ("dice")
A flat piece of semiconductor material used in a construction of a chip
Small disk of unleavened bread used for Holy Communion
