Definition: 12-inch wafer


A 300mm semiconductor wafer, which is the maximum wafer size in use as of 2024. Although 18-inch (450mm) wafers have been developed, the billions in cost to change all the chip-making machinery in a plant that is necessary to migrate to the larger size is thus far considered unfeasible. See wafer.
