Types Of Float Zone Wafer
High Resistivity Float Zone silicon wafers are the most common type of FZ wafers. They are made from high purity FZ ingots which have a resistivity of greater than 1,000 ohm-cm. These wafers are well suited for RF MEMS switches, transmitter and receiver chips and microwave and millimeter wave circuits and devices.
Undoped float zone (FZ) silicon wafers are silicon substrates that have been grown using the float zone method without the intentional introduction of dopant atoms. They are intrinsic type and they have high resistivity greater than 10,000 ohm-cm.
NTD FZ wafers are made from undoped high purity FZ ingots which have been doped using a Neutron Transmutaion Doping irradiation process. This creates N Type material with a lower, but tighter resistivity range. These wafers are used to make components for semiconductor power devices
Gas Doped FZ wafers are made from FZ ingot that was intentionally doped with gaseous dopants introduced at the melt interface. This process offers good uniformity along the length of the ingot.
