This list was taken from the old wiki. It might be outdated and is mainly targeted at buyers in the USA.
- Laserlab, Inc. (http://laserlab.com/products_and_services.php) Photoplots with up to 8000 DPI
- Harmony Cleanroom (http://www.harmonycr.com/) Lint-free swabs, wipes, gloves, etc
-

Duda Diesel (http://www.dudadiesel.com/) HCl for metal etching.
- Injectorall (http://www.injectorall.com/) Shipley SP24 positive photoresist. DNQ-novolac based, peak sensitivity at 405nm.
- Duda Diesel (http://www.dudadiesel.com/) Technical grade acetone and isopropanol. May have lower impurity levels than hardware/paint store grades.
- Local hardware store Acetone, denatured alcohol. May have lower purity.
- Harmony Cleanroom (http://www.harmonycr.com/) 99% isopropanol / 1% DI water.
- Pharmacy or some grocery stores Isopropanol (rubbing alcohol). Go for the highest concentration you can get (91% is ideal)
- MTI (http://www.mtixtl.com/) Materials science related supplies including wafers up to 6 inch diameter sold in units of one.
- University Wafer (http://www.universitywafer.com/) Has a wider selection than MTI but minimum orders are high.
- Singapore Optics Shop (http://optics.sg/main.html) This supplier does not have much of a minimum order (Keep orders above or equal to 5 wafers) but prices can be quite high for small wafers. They do have other wafers like Germanium and also has quite a lot of other cool stuff. They do ship to countries outside Singapore. Price will include SGD $30 handling fee.
- Latech Scientific Supply (http://www.latech.com.sg/) I am putting them back on here after they have updated their information. They do have a minimum order of 25 pieces for wafers of size 3 inches and above. According to their sales representative, wafers smaller than 3 inches can be bought in small quantities. If you want to get a large amount of wafers, I suggest using Latech as their prices are cheaper than the ones at Singapore Optics Shop. They also have some lab stuff that experimenters might be interested in.
