Isostatic graphite is a type of graphite with an ultra-fine grain. It is used for applications where the mechanical properties of other fine-grained graphites are inadequate.

The development of high-powered blue and UV LEDs has enabled the creation of full-color LED TV displays, as well as white LED automotive and domestic lighting. These LEDs are based on Gallium Nitride, which is deposited on substrate wafers supported by CVD SiC-coated graphite susceptor using the MOCVD process.

MOCVD is a new vapor phase epitaxial growth technology developed on the basis of vapor phase epitaxial growth (VPE).

The history of silicon carbide (SiC) dates back to 1891, when Edward Goodrich Acheson accidentally discovered it while attempting to synthesize artificial diamonds. Acheson heated a mixture of clay (aluminosilicate) and powdered coke (carbon) in an electric furnace. Instead of the expected diamonds, he obtained a bright green crystal adhering to the carbon. This crystal had a hardness second only to diamond, and was thus named carborundum. In 1904, French-Jewish chemist Henri Moissan discovered rare natural silicon carbide minerals while studying meteorite samples from the Diablo Canyon in Arizona, USA. He named these minerals moissanite, and his discovery earned him the 1906 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Graphite is vital in producing Silicon Carbide (SiC) semiconductors, known for their exceptional thermal and electrical properties. This makes SiC ideal for high-power, high-temperature, and high-frequency applications. In SiC semiconductor manufacturing, graphite is commonly used for crucibles, heaters, and other high-temperature processing components due to its excellent thermal conductivity, chemical stability, and resistance to thermal shock.

Today, Onsemi announced on its official website that it has reached an agreement with Qorvo to acquire the SiC JFET technology business and Qorvo's subsidiary.
