Wafer reclaim is a process where, the silicon wafer that has been processed, then stripped, sometimes polished and then cleaned, can be further reprocessed for different use. Wafer reclaim comprises the process steps which are needed to transform a wafer that has been utilized and has multiple layers of several materials. This wafer can further be reused at a lower cost when compared to buying a new wafer for these purposes. Thus, a major driver for wafer reclaim is wafer cost. As wafer diameters increase, wafer reclaim has become a significant part of the fabrication strategy.
