SEMI International Standards
Technical Committee Charter

Charter of Global Silicon Wafer Committee




To develop international technical Standards applicable to silicon wafers used in electronic device manufacturing.

These Standards include:

      Specifications and guides for silicon wafers (bare and processed).
      Test methods and practices for wafer properties and quality.
      Specifications and guides for silicon wafer metrology.
      Specifications for wafer shipping boxes.

The International Silicon Wafer Technical Committee will also work to promote technical communication and understanding between and among silicon suppliers, equipment suppliers and users, within the framework of SEMI Standards regulations, and to maintain active liaison with other Technical Committees, e.g., Traceability regarding wafer ID.
