Crystal Boule Grinder from Japan
Crystal boule grinders precisely shape semiconductor crystal ingots to exact diameters and flats indicating conductivity type before wafer slicing. This machine is an 'other' casting machine part under HTS 8454.30.00.90 for metallurgical preparation of semiconductor materials.
