Note 1 to entry: A site map example is shown in Figure 23. The value is always a positive number and is defined for each site as the difference between the highest and lowest points within each site, as shown in Figure 24. For a wafer to meet a local thickness variation specification, all sites must have local thickness variation values less than the specified value.

Note 2 to entry: This note applies to the French language only.

NOTE All sites have their centres within the fixed quality area.
