China Epitaxial Growth Of Silicon Manufacturers, Suppliers, Factory

Within the silicon carbide (SiC) industry chain, substrate suppliers hold significant leverage, primarily due to value distribution. SiC substrates account for 47% of the total value, followed by epitaxial layers at 23%, while device design and manufacturing constitute the remaining 30%. This inverted value chain stems from the high technological barriers inherent to substrate and epitaxial layer production. Three major challenges plague SiC substrate growth: stringent growth conditions, slow growth rates, and demanding crystallographic requirements. These complexities contribute to increased processing difficulty, ultimately resulting in low product yields and high costs. Furthermore, the epitaxial layer’s thickness and doping concentration are critical parameters directly impacting the final device performance.

Alumina ceramic components have excellent properties such as high hardness, high mechanical strength, super wear resistance, high temperature resistance, high resistivity, and good electrical insulation performance.

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.

Silicon wafer surface polishing is a crucial process in semiconductor manufacturing. Its primary goal is to achieve extremely high standards of surface flatness and roughness by removing micro-defects, layers of stress damage, and contamination from impurities such as metal ions.

As a new separation technology, the core of ceramic membrane filtration equipment is the ceramic membrane (filter element).

CVD SiC coated susceptors function as specialized wafer holders in Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) processes, playing a crucial role in semiconductor fabrication. These components are vital for maintaining the structural integrity of wafers during epitaxy under extreme conditions, such as high temperatures and corrosive environments. **
