ABSTRACT<br />

The objectives of the SIWIS project are to understand and to control the surface defect generation<br />

mechanisms governing the yield in multi-wire sawing of silicon wafers. The development activities of<br />

the project focus on analysing and characterising surfaces of sawn wafers and to develop models to<br />

predict surface damage during free wire sawing. The main motivation behind this project is to develop<br />

a multi-wire-sawing process technology that allows mass production of thin crystalline silicon wafer<br />
