Graphite susceptor is one of the essential parts in the MOCVD equipment, is the carrier and the heater of the wafer substrate. Its properties of thermal stability and thermal uniformity play a decisive role in the quality of wafer epitaxial growth, which directly determines the uniformity and purity of the layer materials, in a result its quality directly affects the preparation of epitaxy.

A P-type silicon carbide (SiC) wafer is a semiconductor substrate that is doped with impurities to create a P-type (positive) conductivity. Silicon carbide is a wide-bandgap semiconductor material that offers exceptional electrical and thermal properties, making it suitable for high-power and high-temperature electronic devices.

In traditional silicon power device fabrication, high-temperature diffusion and ion implantation stand as the primary methods for dopant control, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Typically, high-temperature diffusion is characterized by its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, isotropic dopant distribution profiles, and lower introduction of lattice damage. Conversely, ion implantation, though complex and costly, enables precise independent control over dopant concentration and depth but introduces a significant number of point defects and extended defects into the substrate.

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.

Silicon carbide (SiC), a prominent structural ceramic, is renowned for its exceptional properties, including high-temperature strength, hardness, elastic modulus, wear resistance, thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance. These attributes make it suitable for a wide range of applications, from traditional industrial uses in high-temperature kiln furniture, burner nozzles, heat exchangers, sealing rings, and sliding bearings, to advanced applications like ballistic armor, space mirrors, semiconductor wafer chucks, and nuclear fuel cladding.

According to reports from German media, U.S. chip manufacturer Wolfspeed is pausing its plans to build a semiconductor plant in Germany.
