Semiconductor Wafer Lapper from Mexico

Electromechanical lapping machine with self-contained motor that uses loose abrasive slurry on cast iron plates to achieve sub-micron flatness on semiconductor wafer surfaces prior to polishing. Critical for bringing wafers within tight dimensional tolerances. HTS 8479.89.65.00 for wafer preparation equipment.

Import Tips

Include flatness specification data (bow/warp <1μm) confirming semiconductor use

Classify slurry pumps separately if modular to avoid integral machine valuation

Certify lapping plates meet semiconductor contamination standards (ultra-pure cast iron)
