Silicon Wafer Production Solutions

Silicon wafers are a critical component in the manufacturing process of most electronic devices. Electronic grade silicon, the name used for the grade of silicon employed in semiconductor device manufacture, is the product of a chain of processes beginning with the conversion of quartz or quartzite sand to "metallurgical grade silicon"

MKS solutions for enhancing Silicon wafer production include tools for wafer cutting, vacuum, pressure, and flow measurement and control, and automated manufacturing and process control.
