China SiC Coated Epitaxial Reactor Barrel Manufacturers, Suppliers, Factory

At present, the most important direction trend of substrate development is to expand the diameter. The 6-inch mass production line in the global SiC market is maturing, and leading companies have entered the 8-inch market.

The first generation of semiconductor materials is mainly represented by silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge), which began to rise in the 1950s. Germanium was dominant in the early days and was mainly used in low-voltage, low-frequency, medium-power transistors and photodetectors, but due to its poor high temperature resistance and radiation resistance, it was gradually replaced by silicon devices in the late 1960s. Silicon is still the main semiconductor material in the field of microelectronics due to its high technological maturity and cost advantages.

In the process of wafer preparation, there are two core links: one is the preparation of the substrate, and the other is the implementation of the epitaxial process. The substrate, a wafer carefully made of semiconductor single crystal material, can be directly put into the wafer manufacturing process as a basis to produce semiconductor devices, or further enhance the performance through the epitaxial process.

Silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic materials possess a range of excellent properties, including high-temperature strength, strong oxidation resistance, superior wear resistance, thermal stability, low thermal expansion coefficient, high thermal conductivity, high hardness, thermal shock resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance. These characteristics make SiC ceramics increasingly applicable in various fields such as automotive, mechanical and chemical industries, environmental protection, space technology, information electronics, and energy. SiC ceramics have become an irreplaceable structural ceramic material in many industrial sectors due to their outstanding performance.

SiC substrate material is the core of SiC chip. The production process of the substrate is: after obtaining the SiC crystal ingot through single crystal growth; then preparing the SiC substrate requires smoothing, rounding, cutting, grinding (thinning); mechanical polishing, chemical mechanical polishing; and cleaning, testing, etc. Process
