Slurry A costs less per litre but consumes more per wafer and runs slightly slower; Slurry B costs more per litre but dilutes better, removes faster and reduces scratch defects. Even before counting yield, B&#8217;s higher throughput and favourable dilution can erase its unit-price disadvantage. Once a modest yield improvement is included, B is clearly cheaper per good wafer. The numbers will differ for every line, but the structure of the comparison is what matters: always carry consumption, throughput and yield through to a per-good-wafer figure rather than stopping at the quote.<\/p><\/section><section class=\"ps-sec\" id=\"jz-c2-reclaim\"><h2>Slurry Reduction and Reclaim<\/h2><p>Because slurry is consumed in large volumes, programmes that reduce consumption directly cut cost: optimised dispense and flow control, point-of-use blending to avoid waste, and in some cases slurry reclaim or recycling.

It is best expressed as cost per good wafer.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>Why is litre price a poor way to compare slurries?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">Litre price ignores how much slurry you consume, how fast you process wafers and what defects cost downstream. A slurry with a higher unit price can be cheaper overall if it removes faster, dilutes better and improves yield.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>What is the biggest hidden cost in slurry selection?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">Yield impact. On most lines, defect-driven scrap and rework dwarf the slurry&#8217;s purchase price, so a slurry that lowers defectivity usually wins on total cost even at a higher unit price.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>How can slurry consumption be reduced?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">Through optimised dispense and flow control, point-of-use blending that avoids waste, favourable dilution, and in some cases validated slurry reclaim or recycling. Any reduction programme must be confirmed not to compromise defectivity or stability.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>How does slurry stability affect cost?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">Unstable slurry creates scrapped wafers, extra rework, shorter shelf life and more frequent quality checks \u2014 all costs that never appear on the invoice.
