Silicon Wafer Reclaim Market: Top Key Vendors, Segmentation, And SWOT Analysis By 2017 - 2025
Silicon wafer reclaim is a wafer that is processed, stripped, polished, cleaned, and reprocessed for various applications such as for the manufacturing of solar cells, integrated circuits, and more. Furthermore, it is a process that converts used wafer into a functioning good quality wafer known as test wafer at a much cheaper cost. With the help of silicon wafer reclaim, companies can prominently reduce the cost of purchasing new wafers. Silicon reclaim wafers are thinner in size as compared to unused wafers and generally offer the same performance as an unused or virgin test wafer. Basically, a s ilicon wafer reclaim process begins with sorting, inspection, and evaluation for the prevention of metallic contamination in the reclaim process. Furthermore, through the stripping process, the metallic films on the wafer are removed. This is followed by another process known as grinding process, which is used to remove the additional metallic films from the silicon wafer. Prior to...
