Some Silicon Wafer Fabrication Services

By Roy van Rivero


A thin film company usually offers a one-stop-shop for those businesses that need wafer production service. This usually includes an array of services. Since these services come in package, getting these services provides an advantage to many companies that use wafer for their manufacturing process particularly in the issue of costs. But what are these services? (You might ask) I have listed below some specific services you can get from a wafer fabrication service provider:

Lithography - people in the semiconductor industry also called it as "photolithography"; it is used to draw patterns on the surface of a wafer or substrate. The procedure is done through the help of a light sensitive polymer called photoresist. These days, lithography services usually include engineering support for mask layout and the process development. There is also called advanced lithography process.

Wet etching - silicon wafer cleaning and etching is process that is used to chemically remove layers from the surface of the wafer (also known as substrate) during manufacturing; this is one of the most important parts of the process as wafer undergoes several etching process procedures before it is complete. Wet etching companies provide capabilities that allows the etching of 300mm and small diameters, for a wide array of dielectrics and metal films.

Kiss polishing - this system is performed to transform old and well-used wafers into a brand new one (and of course so that they can be used like a brand new one again). The service includes several steps, which include visual inspection to evaluate and separate right away those wafers with chips and cracks (they are returned to owner unprocessed). Kiss polishing (along with other wafer reclaim and recovery processes) helps prolong the life of the wafers, providing manufacturers an advantage particularly when it comes to operational costs.

The continuous improvement of the wafer fabrication system (as provided by foundry service providers) and the semiconductor industry as a whole play a key role to achieving even brighter future for many industries particularly those businesses that are in the electronic sectors. Better quality substrates used in various electronic device productions are needed for the manufacture of much better products, which will certainly fuel industry growth.
