Features Of SCHOTT Polished Glass Wafer Carrier-Grade Glass Wafer

  1. Ultra-flat, double-side polished surface with ≤0.1 nm RMS roughness for precision lithography and metrology.

  2. High-purity borosilicate glass composition (e.g., SCHOTT BOROFLOAT® 33 equivalent) ensuring exceptional thermal stability and chemical resistance.

  3. Low intrinsic birefringence and high optical homogeneity (Δn < 5 × 10⁻⁶), critical for advanced photomask and EUV mask blank applications.

  4. Carrier-grade dimensional tolerances: thickness uniformity ±0.5 µm over full wafer area; total thickness variation (TTV) < 0.8 µm.

  5. Controlled surface defect density (< 0.1 defects/cm² ≥0.3 µm) verified per SEMI Standard F78 and ISO 14644-1 Class 10 cleanroom handling.

Typical Applications Of SCHOTT Polished Glass Wafer Carrier-Grade Glass Wafer

  1. Photomask blanks for deep ultraviolet (DUV) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography in semiconductor front-end manufacturing.

  2. Substrates for reticle inspection systems, mask repair tools, and automated optical inspection (AOI) platforms.

  3. Reference wafers in semiconductor process control, overlay metrology, and scanner calibration.

  4. High-precision optics carriers in vacuum-compatible metrology chambers and wafer-level testing equipment.

  5. Base substrates for thin-film deposition of Cr, MoSi, or multilayer EUV reflective coatings.

SCHOTT Polished Glass Wafer Carrier-Grade Glass Wafer – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Does this product have a CAS Registry Number?

A: No — as an engineered inorganic glass substrate (not a chemical compound), it does not have a CAS number. Composition is defined by proprietary SCHOTT glass formulation specifications (e.g., BOROFLOAT® 33 equivalent), documented in Material Compliance Dossier.


Q2: What is the recommended handling protocol to prevent surface contamination or micro-scratching?

A: Use Class 10 cleanroom protocols: handle only with powder-free nitrile gloves; transport in SMIF pods or FOUPs with PTFE-coated carriers; avoid contact with metal tweezers—use ceramic or carbon-fiber vacuum wands calibrated to < 50 g force.


Q3: How does this carrier-grade wafer compare to standard float glass wafers in terms of thermal budget for coating processes?

A: It supports sustained processing up to 450 °C (e.g., Cr adhesion layer annealing) with < 0.02% dimensional drift — versus > 0.15% drift observed in soda-lime float glass — due to its lower CTE and higher strain point (≈640 °C).


Q4: Are extractables or leachables a concern during wet cleaning or plasma etch steps?

A: No measurable alkali or boron leaching occurs under standard semiconductor cleaning (SC1, SC2, dilute HF) or O₂/Ar plasma exposure, confirmed via ICP-MS analysis per SEMI F57 guidelines (< 0.05 ng/cm² Na⁺, < 0.02 ng/cm² B³⁺).
