$Researchers Study Silicon Wafer Breakage Using Direct and X-ray Diffraction imaging Techniques$

Researchers Study Silicon Wafer Breakage Using Direct and X-ray Diffraction imaging Techniques

When single crystals, especially silicon wafers, are fractured or broken up they pose a number of serious issues. The tip of the crack spreads at an atomic scale, resulting in chemical bonds breaking, the formation of crack fronts via the micrometer-scale crystal, and a culmination of severe wafer shattering on the macroscopic scale.
