FZ Wafer Design & Manufacturing
Pioneering Float Zone wafer technology for next-generation semiconductor applications
What is Float Zone (FZ) Wafer Technology?
Float Zone (FZ) wafer technology is an advanced crystal growth method that produces ultra-high-purity silicon wafers with exceptional electrical properties. Unlike traditional Czochralski (CZ) wafers, FZ wafers are grown without a crucible, resulting in:
- Higher resistivity and lower impurity concentration
- Superior crystalline quality with fewer defects
- Enhanced performance for high-frequency and power devices
- Critical applications in quantum computing and advanced sensors
