2-5.Misorientation In wafers cut intentionally “off orientation”, the angle between the projection of the normal vector to the wafers surface onto a {0001} plane and the projection on that plane of the nearest <11-20> direction.
2-18.Grain boundaries They are interfaces where crystals of different orientations meet. A grain boundary is a single-phase interface, with crystals on each side of the boundary being identical except in orientation. The term “crystallite boundary” is sometimes, though rarely, used. Grain boundary areas contain those [...]
Total Thickness Variation (TTV): The maximum variation in the wafer thickness. Total Thickness Variation is generally determined by measuring the wafer in 5 locations of a cross pattern (not too close to the wafer edge) and calculating the maximum measured difference in thickness. The [...]
2-3.Wafer Flat Length Linear dimension of the at measured with ANSI certied digital calipers on a sample of one wafer per ingot.
2-7.Primary Flat Orientation The at of the longest length on the wafer, oriented such that the chord is parallel with a specied low index crystal plane. Measured on one wafer per ingot using Laue back-reection technique with manual angle measurement.
In optics the refractive index (or index of refraction) n of a substance (optical medium) is a number that describes how light, or any other radiation, propagates through that medium. Refractive index is the basic property of optical crystals, and it is an important parameter [...]
