The silicon wafers on our website are all 0.4mm thickness and are 1 side polished. We make silicon (Si) wafers in all common sizes up to 6" diameter. For other wafer sizes, specifications please send us your requirements here and we will send a formal quotation.
Undoped Silicon (Si) Crystal Substrate / Wafers:
Crystal substrates offers quality undoped silicon wafers for a variety of applications. Our wafers are produced with high grade silicon and provide excellent resistance and uniformity. Undoped wafers are ideal for a range of research and manufacturing applications, including solar cells, photovoltaics, integrated circuits, and semiconductor devices. Our undoped wafers are available in a variety of resistivities from 0.001 ohm-cm to 10 ohm-cm. Our undoped wafers provide the highest purity and reliability, making them perfect for use in high performance and sensitive applications.
N-type, Boron or Phosphorus doped Silicon wafers:
Crystal Substrates offers quality n-type doped silicon wafers. Our n-type doped wafers are produced using high grade silicon and are doped with common dopants such as arsenic, antimony, and phosphorus. Our n-type doped wafers provide excellent resistance and uniformity and are available in a variety of resistivities from 0.01 ohm-cm to 100 ohm-cm. These wafers offer the highest quality and reliability, making them perfect for use in high performance and sensitive applications.
P-type, Boron or Phosphorus doped Silicon (Si) wafers:
Crystal Substrates offers quality p-type doped silicon wafers. Our p-type doped wafers are produced using high grade silicon and are doped with common dopants such as boron, gallium, and indium. Our p-type doped wafers provide excellent resistance and uniformity and are available in a variety of resistivities from 0.01 ohm-cm to 100 ohm-cm. These wafers are perfect for a range of research and manufacturing applications, including solar cells, photovolcaics, integrated circuits, and semiconductor devices. Our p-type doped wafers offer the highest quality and reliability, making them ideal for use in high performance and sensitive applications.
Thermal Properties of silicon (Si) Crystal Substrate / Wafers:
The thermal properties of a 0.5 mm thick silicon wafer with a <001> orientation include high thermal conductivity, typically around 150 W/(m·K), which facilitates efficient heat dissipation, and a relatively low thermal expansion coefficient, approximately 2.6 × 10⁻⁶ /K, minimizing thermal stress during temperature fluctuations.
Our undoped, n-type doped, and p-type doped wafers provide the highest quality, reliability, and uniformity for a variety of research and manufacturing applications. No matter what your needs, our quality silicon wafers are perfect for your application.
