Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Next generation semiconductor materials such as silicon carbide are high hardness and chemically stable materials. Thus, it takes a lot of time to manufacture wafers using these materials. In particular, the process of slicing from ingots to wafers accounts for 60 to 70% of the total manufacturing time. Therefore, there is a high demand for high speed slicing process. A wire saw is used for the slicing process. In order to improve the efficiency of this wire sawing, we propose the novel slicing technology, “Electric field-assisted Slicing (EFS)”. In this report, we describe the result of cutting efficiency improvement of 110-130% in fundamental study by principle experiments.
