When classifying chemical products, Seider et al. [3] identify three categories (1) basic chemicals (commodity and specialty chemicals, bio-materials, and polymeric materials) (2) industrial chemicals (films, fibers, paper,. ..) and (3) configured consumer products (dialysis devices, post-it notes, transparencies, drug delivery patches,. ..). In the manufacture of epitaxial silicon wafers, a thin film of crystalline silicon is often deposited on a polished crystalline silicon...
