| Integrated Circuit Terminology |
Wafer
a round disc of semiconductor material most commonly Silicon, although Gallium Arsenide and other semiconductor materials are also used. Wafers are a few millimeters thick and are available in a variety of diameters with 100 millimeter, 125 millimeter, 150 millimeter and 200 millimeter being the most common and 300 millimeter just entering use. Many Integrated Circuits are simultaneously fabricated on wafers during the wafer fabrication process.

wafer
A thin slice of semiconducting material, such as a silicon crystal, upon which microcircuits are constructed by diffusion and deposition of various materials. Note: Millions of individual circuit elements, constituting hundreds of microcircuits, may be constructed on a single wafer. The individual microcircuits are separated by scoring and breaking the wafer into individual chips ("dice").

Wafer
In cooking, a wafer is a crisp, sweet, very thin, flat, and dry cake that is often used to decorate ice cream. Wafers can also be made into cookies with cream flavoring sandwiched between them. They frequently have a waffle surface pattern.
The word also refers to the special small round flat breads made for Anglican Holy Communion services; the word host is used in the Roman Catholic liturgy. These holy wafers often have an image of the crucified Christ imprinted on them.
In the spa towns of the Slovak Republic (e.g. Piešťany, etc.) special "spa wafers" (kúpeľné oplátky) are produced.
