2026-10-23Neither option is universally better. Single-side polished wafers prioritize the finished front surface, while double-side polished wafers treat both faces and can offer better control of thickness uniformity and parallelism. The right choice depends on bonding, lithography, backside processing, and specified surface requirements.
