 WAFER Definition
We define WAFER |
WAFER - A flat, round piece of silicon that is used in the manufacture of microprocessors. Fabrication plants, or fabs, typically will take a wafer and carve many microprocessors into it. Over the years wafer size has been increasing so that more chips can be fit on a single wafer, from 6" to 8" to 12" in diameter in some plants today. Wafers are created by taking a cylinder of silicon and slicing it, much like taking a loaf of bread and cutting slices, but to much more precise measurements. |
