    Silica SiO2 99.99% pure Polycrystalline Silicon

    (EG-Si)Reduction of silica with carbon and reactingthe obtained MGMG--SiSi with gaseous HCL to get

    the pure EGEG--SiSi.

    Slurryconsists ofSiO2 and

    NaOH

    The purpose of polishing isto produce a smooth,specular surface on

    which device featurescan be defined by

    photolithography.

    Wafercleaning

    Wafer cleaning is meant to clean wafers

    from any contamination source:1. Airborne bacteria2. Grease and wax from physical

    handling.3. Metals and abrasive elements such

    as : silica , diamond dust and alumina

    from lapping ,sewing and polishingprocesses.

    o Some wafers propertiessuch as: flatness,thickness, resistivity andtype are inspected to

    meet customersspecifications.

    o Wafers are then packedin cassettes and shippedto the customer such asAMD or Intel
