2-37.Test Grade
Test Grade: A silicon carbide wafer of lower quality than Prime, and used primarily for testing processes. SEMI indicates the bulk, surface, and physical properties required to label silicon carbide wafers as “Test Wafers”.

2-22.Surface Roughness
Often shortened to roughness, is a measure of the texture of a surface. It is quantified by the vertical deviations of a real surface from its ideal form. If these deviations are large, the surface is rough; if they are small the surface [...]

1-2.Stacking Sequence
If we are going to make a laminated structure, we must know the thickness of each ply and the angle of each ply traditionally in degrees defined from the top layer down.

3-12. Silicon Droplets
Silicon droplets can appear as either small mounds or depressions in the wafer surface. Normally absent, but if present are largely concentrated at perimeter of wafer. If present, estimate the % of speci ed area affected.

A micropipe, also referred to as “micropore”, “microtube”, “capillary defect “or “pinhole defect”, is a crystallographic defect in a single crystal substrate.It is a important parameter to manufacturers of silicon carbide (SiC) substrates which are used in a variety of industries such as [...]

3-5. Backside Cleanliness
Veri ed by inspecting for a uniform color to the wafer backside. Note there is a darker region near the center of some higher doped wafers. Backside cleanliness speci ed as percent area clean.
