silicon wafers
Silicon wafers are thin slices of purified silicon crystal used as the foundation for making most electronic devices, especially integrated circuits in computers and smartphones. They serve as the substrate on which tiny electronic components are built through processes like doping and layering. These wafers are perfectly flat, smooth, and precisely shaped to ensure consistency and performance in semiconductor manufacturing. Essentially, they are the blank canvas that allows engineers to create complex electronic circuits in a highly controlled environment.
