Technology Overview
Sample Requirements and Preparation
- All samples must be 4” wafers (bare or pocketed) or mounted onto a 4” wafer via Crystalbond or equivalent.
- Samples and wafers must be cleaned using the TAI (Toluene, Acetone, IPA) process followed by either Piranha or RCA cleaning as appropriate for sample compatibility.
