Where to buy a pure semiconductor?

[Stanley514]

I do not know if this question relates to this division and would appreciate if it would be moved to proper division.

I want to buy a piece of fine, pure, highly doped semiconductor with dimensions approximately:
7 cm X 7 cm X 1 cm (2 in. X 2 in. X 1/2 in.) It supposed to be just fine and well polished piece of material without any electronic components. In which type of stores it is best to look for?
No online trade or stores please.

Here's a surplus silicon dealer. If you don't want to order online, you can hoof it to Mound, Texas:

Otherwise, try lab supply houses. No online trade, huh? Trying to evade the NSA or some kind of embargo?

cool ... I didn't know one could buy blank wafers ... I assumed it was all inhouse with chip manufacturers

haha that thought also went through my mind

BTW .. isn't pure and highly doped a bit of a contradiction ?

Yah. The operative word about the wafers was that they were 'surplus' to the chip makers needs.

I understand the importance of obtaining high-quality materials for research purposes. In order to purchase a pure semiconductor with specific dimensions, I would recommend contacting a reputable semiconductor manufacturer or supplier. These companies specialize in producing and selling high-purity semiconductors for various applications, including research and development.

You can also try contacting universities or research institutions that have advanced semiconductor labs. They may have surplus materials that they are willing to sell or provide recommendations for where to purchase them.

Avoid purchasing from general stores or online sources, as the purity and quality of the semiconductor may not meet your requirements. It is important to ensure that the semiconductor you purchase is of the highest quality to ensure accurate and reliable research results.

I hope this helps guide you in the right direction for purchasing a pure semiconductor for your research needs.
