In semiconductor fabrication, etching is one of the major steps, along with photolithography and thin-film deposition. It involves removing unwanted materials from the surface of a wafer using chemical or physical methods. This step is carried out after coating, photolithography, and developing. It is used to remove the exposed thin film material, leaving only the desired portion of the wafer, and then removing the excess photoresist. These steps are repeated numerous times to create complex integrated circuits.

Currently, most SiC substrate manufacturers use a new crucible thermal field process design with porous graphite cylinders: placing high-purity SiC particle raw materials between the graphite crucible wall and the porous graphite cylinder, while deepening the entire crucible and increasing the crucible diameter.

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 nitride (Si3N4) is a key material in the development of advanced high-temperature structural ceramics.

As a leading upstream graphite material manufacturer in the semiconductor industry, Semicorex prioritizes the availability, usability, and durability of its materials, setting the standard for excellence in the field.

In the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, the gases used mainly include reactant gases and carrier gases. Reactant gases provide atoms or molecules for the deposited material, while carrier gases are used to dilute and control the reaction environment. Below are some commonly used CVD gases:
