About Epi Wafer
Epi wafers are used in the production of semiconductors used in advanced devices. There is an epitaxial process which is the deposition of silicon or other substrate layers on the conductor. These epi wafer layers are provided on wireless, photonic and other power systems for providing better electrical performance. These are generally found in optical components, high-speed systems and now their applicational is enhanced to virtual technology gadgets and devices.
