SELECTION FOCUS
Questions that change the direction.
- Silicon or SiC; face, diameter, notch and incoming thickness
- Direct metal contact permitted, or a polymer contact insert required?
- Slurry chemistry, cleaning agent and metal-contamination limits

Stainless Carriers for Silicon & SiC Wafers
Corrosion-aware carrier selection for silicon and silicon-carbide wafer lapping, including drawing reviews for 12-inch silicon and six-inch SiC requirements.
HOW THIS PRODUCT IS JUDGED
Connect the physical product to its process function.
Wafer diameter alone does not establish compatibility. Carrier thickness, exposed metal, pocket clearance and cleaning must be reviewed against the wafer stage and contamination limits.RFQ & DRAWING FIELDS
Evidence needed before release.
- Actual wafer diameter and full machine-interface drawing
- Approved stainless grade and heat-treatment condition
- Pocket edge finish, thickness variation and flatness acceptance
- First-article checks for handling marks, edge chips and wafer motion

A practical review sequence for this product family.
Material choice
Specify the alloy or review candidate materials against stiffness, wear and the actual wet chemistry.
Drawing definition
Confirm carrier outside diameter, tooth form, pocket map, thickness and the agreed burr limit.
Release checks
Agree the method for thickness and flatness checks, and inspect the pocket and tooth edges before a process trial.
Order-specific dimensions, material grades and acceptance values are recorded in the approved specification. This sequence is selection guidance, not a pre-validated process recipe.
PUBLIC CLAIM BOUNDARY
Typical direction is not a performance guarantee.
Dimensions, materials, removal rate, roughness, life and compatibility are published only when supported by an approved drawing, material record or project-specific validation. Unverified label examples, third-party photographs and customer pricing remain internal references.
