C/C composite is a carbon-carbon composite material made of carbon fibers as reinforcement and carbon as matrix through processing and carbonization, with excellent mechanical and high-temperature resistance properties. The material was initially used in aerospace and special fields, and with the maturity of the technology, it has been gradually used in photovoltaic, automotive, lithium battery, medical devices and other fields.

Silicon carbide (SiC) plays an important role in manufacturing power electronics and high-frequency devices due to its excellent electrical and thermal properties. The quality and doping level of SiC crystals directly affect the performance of the device, so precise control of doping is one of the key technologies in the SiC growth process.

In modern electronics, optoelectronics, microelectronics, and information technology fields, semiconductor substrates and epitaxial technologies are indispensable. They provide a solid foundation for manufacturing high-performance, high-reliability semiconductor devices. As technology continues to advance, semiconductor substrates and epitaxial technologies will also progress, bringing new breakthroughs and developments to the future of the semiconductor industry.

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.

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.

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:
