2025-08-10Silicon wafers are the foundation of modern electronics, serving as the base for integrated circuits (ICs), solar cells, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). However, even microscopic contaminants—dust, organic residues, or metallic impurities—can ruin a wafer's performance. Thus, cleaning silicon wafers is a critical step in semiconductor manufacturing.

2025-06-21During the annealing process of optical glass, the inevitable temperature difference between the center and the edge generates stress, also known as residual stress. Stress causes the glass to change from isotropic to anisotropic and produce birefringence.

2025-06-21What is the Young's modulus? The ratio of the normal stress to the corresponding normal strain in the elastic deformation stage of the material. In the elastic deformation stage of the material, its stress and strain are in direct proportional relationship (that is, it conforms to Hooke's law), and its proportionality coefficient is called the Young's modulus. "Young's modulus" is a physical quantity that describes the elasticity of a material.

2025-05-15The word epitaxy comes from the Greek word "epi", which means "on top of...". From this word origin, we can easily understand the common expression "GaN on Si", which is the structure of gallium nitride on a silicon substrate. In the preparation process of semiconductor materials, wafer preparation is a core link, which mainly includes two key steps: substrate preparation and epitaxy process.
