Silicon Zener Diode Wafer from China

300mm silicon wafers patterned with Zener diode structures for voltage regulation in power supplies and protection circuits. These unseparated wafers undergo diffusion and metallization processes before dicing. Fits HTS 8541.10.0040 for unmounted diode wafers excluding photosensitive or LED variants.

Import Tips

Certify wafer flatness specs (TTV <1μm) and resistivity values to confirm diode-specific fabrication

Submit process flow diagrams showing diode junction formation to prevent misclassification as bare silicon wafers

Monitor export controls; certain high-voltage Zener wafers may require dual-use licenses
