Well, just when you were getting comfortable with the idea of 300mm, someone has to go and start 400mm. Any thoughts on what the largest wafer could and should be? Mark

Moore Technologies shipped its MT308 epitaxial reactor to the Super Silicon 400mm project in Isobe, Japan. The Japanese research venture was formed in March, 1996, to research and develop 16-inch silicon wafers for the next generation. This involves crystal growth, wafer shaping, inspection/evaluation and epitaxial growing technologies. The MT308 will be used to develop the techniques necessary to grow a single-crystal film (epitaxial layer) on 400mm silicon wafers. DRAMs and microprocessors are increasing in size, requiring 400mm silicon wafers to be used to meet the four-gigabit DRAM generation requirements.
