Wafer fabrication: The process whereby semiconductor elements are manufactured on the surface of silicon wafers.
Wafer lot acceptance testing: Testing of an integrated circuit wafer lot to determine its acceptability for the assembly of Class S devices
Wafer lot: A single lot of wafers processed through all processing steps including metallization together. A wafer run may consist of more than one device type, where the various device types differ only in the metallization pattern employed.
Wafer probe: Or Wafer sort,a process of electrical testing with a set of microscopic contacts or probes called a Probe card are held in place with the wafer, vacuum-mounted on a Wafer Chuck, is moved into electrical contact. When a die (or array of dice) have been electrically tested the prober moves the wafer to the next die (or array) and the next test can start.
Waffle Packs: Waffle Pack is a form of packaging designed for use with parts that are either very small or unusual in shape. Waffle pack are embossed or pocketed trays, typically made of plastic, that resemble a breakfast waffle (hence the name).
