Gallium Nitride (GaN) Wafers & Semiconductor Substrates

Gallium Nitride (GaN) Wafers & Semiconductor Substrates is a semiconductor material used as wafers, substrates or device-grade crystal for electronic, photonic or detector applications. It is relevant to semiconductor wafers, substrates and device fabrication. For HANS, the machining focus is wafer cutting, grinding, thinning, dicing and lapping, with tooling selected around the material’s hardness, brittleness, geometry and required surface condition.

Machining Challenges

Edge chipping, microcracking, wafer bow/TTV, subsurface damage and contamination can reduce downstream device yield.

Recommended Diamond Tool Solutions

Use precision diamond wire/saw cutting, wafer edge grinding, back grinding or thinning, and ultra-thin dicing as appropriate. Apply fine lapping/polishing only where compatible with the material and downstream wafer process.
