Polish
Pure Wafer provides polishing services designed to reduce surface roughness and obtain a mirror-like finish on wafer substrates. Polishing is a Thermal-Chemical-Mechanical process which under the prospered balance, produces a surface free of damage, scratches and stains.
In addition to standard polishing procedures, Pure Wafer also provides a kiss-polishing service, which involves a light and delicate polish to remove minor surface scratches or defects.
Pure Wafer possesses single side and double side polishing process capability. Double side polishing produces wafers with the lowest TTV values in the industry.
