Oxidation processes play a critical role in preventing such problems by creating a protective layer on the wafer, known as the oxide layer, which acts as a barrier between different chemicals.

Chemical vapor deposition CVD refers to the introduction of two or more gaseous raw materials into a reaction chamber under vacuum and high temperature conditions, where the gaseous raw materials react with each other to form a new material, which is deposited on the wafer surface.

Silicon carbide (SiC) is an inorganic substance. The amount of naturally occurring silicon carbide is very small. It is a rare mineral and is called moissanite. Silicon carbide used in industrial production is mostly artificially synthesized.

Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) refers to a process technology where multiple gaseous reactants at varied partial pressures undergo a chemical reaction under specific temperature and pressure conditions. The resulting solid substance deposits on the surface of the substrate material, thereby obtaining the desired thin film. In traditional integrated circuit manufacturing processes, the obtained thin film materials are generally compounds such as oxides, nitrides, carbides, or materials like polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, etc.

Today, Onsemi announced on its official website that it has reached an agreement with Qorvo to acquire the SiC JFET technology business and Qorvo's subsidiary.

Defect-free epitaxial growth occurs when one crystal lattice has nearly identical lattice constants to another. Growth happens when lattice sites of the two lattices at the interface region are approximately matched, which is possible with a small lattice mismatch (less than 0.1%). This approximate matching is achieved even with elastic strain at the interface, where each atom is slightly displaced from its original position in the boundary layer. While a small amount of strain is tolerable for thin layers and even desirable for quantum well lasers, the strain energy stored in the crystal is generally lowered by the formation of misfit dislocations, which involve a missing row of atoms in one lattice.
