 We current use p+ doped silicon, [1 0 0] with 200 nm thermally grown oxide. The [1 0 0] refers to the crystallographic axis of the vector normal to the surface. [1 0 0] wafers will break into squares. We current use p+ doped silicon, [1 0 0] with 200 nm thermally grown oxide.

 +In March 2024 we ordered a batch of wafers from Nova: P-type (boron) 0.01-0.02 ohm-cm; 300 nm wet thermal oxide; Prime grade. The resistivity is below 0.04 ohm-cm, which indicates "​degenerately doped" silicon. Degenerate doping will remain conducting even below 1 kelvin.
  
 There are 3 wafer grades: test (lowest grade), prime and epi (highest grade). There are 3 wafer grades: test (lowest grade), prime and epi (highest grade).
