At Malvern Panalytical, we understand the importance of precision in crystal orientation, especially for wafer production. In our recent video, Application Specialist Dirk Kok shares insights into how the Omega/Theta, part of our crystal orientation range, enhances productivity and material quality through cutting-edge technology.
Crystal orientation plays a critical role in determining material properties. Different angles reveal unique atomic structures within the crystal, impacting performance. With precise orientation control, semiconductor manufacturers gain better control over product consistency and quality—essential in today’s competitive market.
The Omega/Theta is designed specifically for crystal orientation. Unlike general-purpose tools, Omega/Theta is purpose-built for wafer production, handling all stages from small crystals to large boules. Dirk highlights its efficiency: “Orienting crystals in just 10 to 30 seconds, it’s twice as fast as standard methods and achieves complete lateral direction analysis”
Omega/Theta’s unique features include a mapping table for in-depth analysis and a stacking frame that aligns up to 12 crystals for simultaneous sawing. This means fewer production steps and significant time savings for the manufacturers.
Whether it’s precision orientation or advanced mapping, Omega/Theta empowers wafer producers with the speed, accuracy, and adaptability needed in high-performance manufacturing. Watch our video for an in-depth look at Omega/Theta in action and see how it supports every stage of wafer production.
