- A siilicon boule has been processed through grinding to provide a cylinder whose diameter = 281 mm and whose length = 899 mm. Next, it will be sliced into wafers 0.8 mm thick using a cut-off saw with a kerf = 0.5 mm. The wafer thus produced will be used to fabricate as many IC chips as possible for the personal computer market. Each IC has a market value to the company of $108. Each chip is square with 17 mm on a side. The processable area of each wafer is defined by a diameter = 265 mm.
