Notes:

* Defect limits are applicable to the entire wafer surface except for the edge exclusion area, where defects are present.

** The scratches are checked on the Si face only.

Inside the wafer case, the side with laser marking of the serial number is the Carbon face. The Si face is facing down and the Carbon face is facing up.
