Wafer (electronics)
In microelectronics, a wafer is a thin slice of semiconducting material, such as a silicon crystal, upon which microcircuits are constructed by doping (for example, diffusion or ion implantation), chemical etching, and deposition of various materials. Wafers are thus of key importance in the fabrication of semiconductor devices such as integrated circuits.
