Both epitaxial and diffused wafers are essential materials in semiconductor manufacturing, but they differ significantly in their fabrication processes and target applications. This article delves into the key distinctions between these wafer types.

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.

4H-SiC, as a third-generation semiconductor material, is renowned for its wide bandgap, high thermal conductivity, and excellent chemical and thermal stability, making it highly valuable in high-power and high-frequency applications.

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.

Homoepitaxy and heteroepitaxy play pivotal roles in material science. Homoepitaxy involves the growth of a crystalline layer on a substrate of the same material, ensuring minimal defects due to perfect lattice matching. In contrast, heteroepitaxy grows a crystalline layer on a different material substrate, which can lead to challenges like lattice mismatch. These processes are crucial in advancing semiconductor devices and thin films. For instance, heteroepitaxy significantly impacts microelectronics and quantum optics, contributing to innovations like Light Emitting Diodes.

As a unit of length, Angstrom (Å) is ubiquitous in integrated circuit manufacturing. From precise control of material thickness to miniaturization and optimization of device size, the understanding and application of Angstrom scale is the core to ensure the continuous development of semiconductor technology.
