Heat treatment is one of the essential and important processes in the semiconductor process. Thermal process is the process of applying thermal energy to a wafer by placing it in an environment filled with a specific gas, including oxidation/diffusion/annealing, etc.

The Silicon Carbide (SiC) production process encompasses the preparation of substrate and epitaxy from the materials side, followed by chip design and manufacturing, device packaging, and finally, distribution to downstream application markets. Among these stages, substrate material processing is the most challenging aspect of the SiC industry. SiC substrates are both hard and brittle, making cutting, grinding, and polishing extremely difficult. This increases the likelihood of defects during processing and reduces the yield rate. Currently, major international SiC manufacturers are planning to transition from 6-inch to 8-inch SiC wafers. Overcoming the challenges associated with 8-inch substrates has become a critical benchmark for the SiC industry. This article will introduce the key parameters of SiC substrates.

Silicon carbide (SiC) crystal growth furnaces are the cornerstone of SiC wafer production. While sharing similarities with traditional silicon crystal growth furnaces, SiC furnaces face unique challenges due to the material’s extreme growth conditions and complex defect formation mechanisms. These challenges can be broadly categorized into two areas: crystal growth and epitaxial growth.

Isostatic pressing technology is a critical process in the manufacturing of isostatic graphite, largely determining the performance of the final product. As such, comprehensive research and optimization of isostatic graphite production remain essential focal points in the industry.

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a wide-bandgap semiconductor material that has garnered significant attention in recent years due to its exceptional performance in high-voltage and high-temperature applications. This study systematically explores the various characteristics of SiC crystals grown using modified process conditions.

Semiconductor materials are the materials with electrical conductivity between conductors and insulators at room temperature, which are widely used in fields like integrated circuits, communications, energy and optoelectronics. With development of technology, semiconductor materials have evolved from the first generation to the fourth generation.
