Wafer Die Calculator

Estimate simple die count from circular wafer and rectangular die areas.

About the Wafer Die Calculator

This is a simplified area-ratio estimate for a circular wafer and rectangular die.

How to use it

  1. Enter wafer diameter and unit.
  2. Enter die width, height and optional edge loss.
  3. Calculate theoretical and adjusted counts.

Formula

Wafer area is pi times radius squared; theoretical dies equal wafer area divided by die area.

Example

A 300 mm wafer with 10 x 10 mm dies gives about 706.86 theoretical dies before edge loss.

Notes

This estimate excludes scribe lines, packing, edge geometry, defects, test and process effects.
