3-2. Scratches
Grooves or cuts below the surface plane of the wafer having a length-to-width ratio of greater than 5 to 1. Scratches are speci ed by the number of discrete scratches times the total length in fractional diameter.

1-5.Thermal Expansion Coefficient Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature. When a substance is heated, its particles begin moving more and thus usually maintain a greater average separation. Materials which contract with increasing temperature are [...]
In solid state physics, a band gap, also called an energy gap or bandgap, is an energy range in a solid where no electron states can exist. In graphs of the electronic band structure of solids, the band gap generally refers to the energy [...]
3-9. Comet Tails Comet tails have a discrete head and trailing tail. These features are aligned parallel to the major at. Usually, all comet tails tend to be of the same length. Count once per occurrence. Two comet tails within 200 microns count as [...]
2-16.Pits Individual distinguishable surface anomalies, which appears as a depression in the wafer surface with a lengthto-width ratio less than 5 to 1, and visible under high intensity illumination.
2-32.Semi-insulating Semi-insulating Doping with the impurities vanadium creates semi-insulating material of silicon carbide.
2-10.Cracks A fracture or cleavage of the wafer that extends from the frontside surface of the wafer to the back-side surface of the wafer. Cracks must exceed 0.010” in length under high intensity illumination in order to discriminate fracture lines from allowable crystalline striations. Fracture [...]
