Where this wafer delivers value

01

MOS & Gate Dielectrics

Thin dry thermal SiO2 layers act as high-quality gate dielectrics and insulators. Ideal for MOSFETs, MOS capacitors, analog devices, and sensor fabrication.

02

Electrical Isolation & Passivation

Thicker SiO2 layers provide electrical isolation between device structures and protective surface passivation. Essential for power ICs, high-voltage devices, and RF device isolation.

03

MEMS & Sensors

Thermal oxide layers function as insulation, structural, or sacrificial layers in MEMS fabrication. Suitable for pressure sensors, microstructures, and silicon micromachining.

04

Diffusion & Process Masking

SiO2 provides a highly reliable hard mask for critical semiconductor processing steps. Used extensively in dopant diffusion, ion implantation, and etching processes.

FAQ

Common questions about this product

Quick answers on material selection, customization, testing and ordering.

A silicon dioxide (SiO2) wafer consists of a silicon substrate with a precisely controlled thermal oxide layer grown on its surface. It is widely used for electrical insulation, surface passivation, hard masking, and gate dielectric fabrication.

Dry oxidation produces a dense, high-quality oxide with superior electrical properties, preferred for thin gate oxides. Wet oxidation offers a higher growth rate and is typically used for thicker SiO2 layers, such as field oxides and masking layers.

Our thermal oxidation processes deliver excellent wafer-level uniformity, typically ≤ 3% (depending on oxide thickness and wafer size). This ensures highly repeatable device performance and yield.
