ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor wafer includes a notch or a hole used in preparing an orientation flat on the wafer. The notch in the wafer includes a side that is perpendicular to the surfaces of the wafer and aligned along a cleavage plane of the wafer for forming the orientation flat by cleaving. A hole in a wafer preferably includes an axis aligned along the cleaving plane. A sharp, non-rounded cleavage is formed by preparing the notch or hole after the completion of any etching processes or other steps that may round the edges of the flat. The sharp edges aid in achieving a precision alignment using the orientation flat.
