What is a silicon wafer? What is it used for?

In silicon MEMS, the silicon wafer provides both the substrate and the material for the active device layer For each type of wafer, the main requirements are

Silicon wafers after cutting have sharp edges, and they chip easily Wafer edge is shaped to remove sharp, brittle edges; rounded edge minimizes risk for
