Diameter | The linear dimension across the surface of the wafer. Measurement is performed using an automated micrometer, traceable to the ANSI standard, providing the average value for each individual wafer. |
Thickness, Center Point | Measured with ANSI-certified non-contact tools at the center of each individual wafer. |
Surface Orientation | Denotes the orientation of the surface of a wafer with respect to a crystallographic plane within the lattice structure. In wafers cut intentionally “off orientation,” the direction of cut is parallel to the primary flat, away from the secondary flat. Measured with x-ray goniometer on a sample of one wafer per boule in the center of the wafer. |
Orthogonal Misorientation | In wafers intentionally cut “off orientation,” the angle between the projection of the surface normal onto a (0001) plane and the nearest [1120] direction. |
