Crystal orientation

Term · Semiconductors · MLC-T-SEM-000077

The specific arrangement of atoms within the crystal lattice of a semiconductor wafer relative to its surface. This orientation significantly influences the electrical properties, etching rates, and mechanical strength of the material. Common orientations for silicon wafers are (100), (110), and (111), each offering distinct characteristics for device fabrication.
