A semiconductor wafer is a thin slice of semiconductor material, typically silicon, used as the substrate for fabricating integrated circuits and other microelectronic devices. Wafers undergo processes such as doping, photolithography, etching, and deposition to create intricate electronic circuits that power devices like computers, smartphones, and automotive electronics. The quality, size, and purity of wafers are critical to device performance and yield. With the growing demand for high-performance electronics, advanced computing, and consumer gadgets, the semiconductor wafer market continues to expand, supported by innovations in wafer production technology and increased global semiconductor manufacturing capacity.
