Isonics Silicon Products and
Services Division – Wafer Reclaim
Isonics’ wafer reclaim process starts with
100% inspection of incoming wafers. The appropriate strip and
etch chemistry is determined based on inspection results. An additional pre-treatment is applied for wafers
containing metal films to ensure all wafers remain metal-free
through our processes.
After lapping and/or grinding
and polishing to meet customer specifications, the wafers are
transported to Isonics’ Class1 clean room for multi-stage
cleaning which ensures low surface metal level, typically well below
1E10 atoms per cm2.
After ultra-pure cleaning,
the wafers are inspected using our state-of-the-art KLA-Tencor
SP-1/TBI or SP-1/DLS laser particle scanner, the same
inspection tool used by top-tier semiconductor
manufacturers.
All reclaim wafers are returned to
the customer.
