Abstract
An integrated wafer processing system and a method thereof is disclosed. In one embodiment, a wafer stack of sliced wafers includes a base, and a plurality of sliced wafers extending outwardly from the base, where the plurality of sliced wafers are obtained by slicing a portion of a work piece, where the base is an uncut portion which is the remaining portion of the work piece or a plate attached by welding to the plurality of sliced wafers and where the work piece is mono-crystalline or multi-crystalline silicon. Further, the wafer stack of sliced wafers are treated in-situ in cleaning and wet chemical tanks for processes such as damage etching, texturization and oxide etching and also treated in-situ in high temperature furnaces for processes such as diffusion and anti-reflection coating.
