Dummy Wafer

What is a dummy wafer?

A dummy wafer, also known as a test wafer, is a wafer used primarily for equipment experiments and inspections, unlike product wafers. It is widely used for operational tests of manufacturing equipment, transportation tests, and mechanical evaluations (such as cutting, grinding, polishing, etc.).

Features of Dummy Wafer

Dummy wafers are often used for experiments and tests, so their sizes and thicknesses vary. Sometimes, recycled wafers are also used.

Another characteristic of dummy wafers is that they are less expensive compared to silicon wafer products that are particle-managed. They can also accommodate small-lot shipments.

In manufacturing equipment, the first few dummy wafers are often used to stabilize the process. They are also used to optimize and monitor the manufacturing process. Although dummy wafers are not suitable for device manufacturing, they are quite suitable for monitoring and testing, and are often used as substitutes for new wafers.
Dummy wafers play a crucial role in testing and adjustments at all stages of wafer manufacturing.
