The existing silicon ingot slicing methods adopt contact forces in slicing that could easily cause higher kerf loss and a larger variation in the thickness of the sliced wafers. Wire-EDM is a potential process for slicing of silicon ingots into wafers. This work therefore demonstrates capability of wire-EDM in silicon wafer slicing through a RSM based experimentation involving use of molybdenum wires...
