Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods for substrate wafer back side and edge cross section seals. In accordance with a first method embodiment, a silicon wafer of a first conductivity type is accessed. An epitaxial layer of the first conductivity type is grown on a front surface of the silicon wafer. The epitaxial layer is implanted to form a region of an opposite conductivity type. The growing and implanting are repeated to form a vertical column of the opposite conductivity type. The wafer may also be implanted to form a region of the opposite conductivity type vertically aligned with the vertical column.
