How Silicon Wafers are made

hey I see an old post of mine... why didn't I ask why they can't just have the tracing machine ignore the non complete squares instead of making incomplete chips on the edges? Seems especially wasteful. I get they make them round and all, but it shouldn't be hard to calculate how many full chips can be made and then only fill that part of the wafer?
