[0002] Wafer refers to the silicon chip used to make silicon semiconductor circuits, and its original material is silicon. High-purity polysilicon is dissolved and mixed with silicon crystal seeds, and then slowly pulled out to form cylindrical single crystal silicon. After grinding, polishing, and slicing, the silicon crystal rod forms a silicon wafer. The back of the wafer will be covered with a thin film, which is supported by a wafer frame we call "Frame" to form an integral sheet material. Multiple sheets of sheet materials are usually loaded in a sheet material box (Framebox), which is used as a carrier for transportation.
