Silicon Wafer Lapping Turbine Head from Mexico
Turbine-driven lapping heads use colloidal slurries to achieve wafer flatness within 0.1μm across 300mm diameters, preparing surfaces for epitaxial growth. Classified under HTS 8411.99.90 as gas turbine parts for semiconductor wafer preparation equipment. Maintains constant pressure and orbital motion during double-side lapping.

Import Tips
• Include slurry compatibility specs and achieved total thickness variation (TTV <0.5μm) metrics
• Declare pad material (cast iron, polyurethane) and pressure ranges specific to silicon carbide/gallium arsenide
• Distinguish from CMP equipment by emphasizing lapping's stock removal vs polishing function
