The new Pope is of Italian descent, regardless of where he was born or what languages he speaks. Technically, Hispanic means related to Spain or Spanish culture, so perhaps he could be said to have Hispanic culture but not Hispanic origins.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A wafer, also called a slice or substrate, is a thin slice of semiconductor material, such as a crystalline silicon, used in electronics for the fabrication of integrated circuits and in photovoltaics for conventional, wafer-based solar cells.he boule is then sliced with a wafer saw (wire saw) and polished to form wafers. The size of wafers for photovoltaics is 100â200 mm square and the thickness is 200â300 Î¼m. In the future, 160 Î¼m will be the standard. Electronics use wafer sizes from 100â450 mm diameter.
Silicon on sapphire is a hetero-epitaxial process for integrated circuit manufacturing that consists of a thin layer of silicon grown on a sapphire wafer. SOS is part of the Silicon on Insulator family of CMOS technologies. Typically, high-purity artificially grown sapphire crystals are used. The silicon is usually deposited by the decomposition of silane gas on heated sapphire substrates. The advantage of sapphire is that it is an excellent electrical insulator, preventing stray currents caused
