💡 Accountant's Note

Silicon Carbide is significantly harder than standard silicon, requiring high-cost diamond wire which is consumed rapidly during the ingot-to-wafer conversion process.

Practitioner & Systems Framework

💻 ERP Architecture

Track usage through the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) linked to work orders for ingot processing.

⚠️ Audit Flags

Significant variances in wire usage per ingot sliced compared to engineering yield standards.

📄 Required Documentation

Wire spool usage logs, ingot-to-wafer yield reports, and purchase invoices for diamond wire.
