Freiburg, Germany-based NexWafe, a company that produces high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon wafers, has raised €10M in its Series B round of funding.
In electronics, a wafer (also called a slice or substrate) is a thin slice of semiconductor, such as crystalline silicon (c-Si), used for the fabrication of integrated circuits and, in photovoltaics, to manufacture solar cells. The wafer serves as the substrate for microelectronic devices built in and upon the wafer.
