Material screening, process development, and machine demonstrations are typical scenarios for the use of test wafers and test chips. While product wafers are usually expensive and difficult to procure, test wafers can be produced cost-effectively and tailored to specific requirements. In addition to customer-specific solutions, ISIT also offers standardized components for typical applications.
Silicon chips with contacts connected in pairs are suitable for material screening, for example. When these are mounted on the corresponding substrate, it is easy to check whether all contacts are connected and whether there are any short circuits. Even automatic measurement of contact resistances is no problem with the measurement electronics developed by ISIT.
Glass chips, on the other hand, are suitable for verifying the positioning accuracy of machines during customer acceptance or at trade fairs. The use of vernier structures makes it easy to verify positioning accuracy without relying on automatic mark recognition.
The glass and silicon wafers offered by ISIT have a diameter of 200 mm and are manufactured on industrial production lines in our own clean rooms. They are delivered either unsawn or sawn on foil.
