The thermal conductivity of bulk 3C-SiC, recently measured, is the second-highest among inch-scale large crystals, ranking just below diamond. Silicon carbide (SiC) is a wide bandgap semiconductor extensively used in electronic applications, and it exists in various crystalline forms known as polytypes. Managing high localized heat flux is a significant challenge in power electronics, as it can lead to device overheating and long-term performance and reliability issues.

Compared with the PVT method, the liquid phase method for growing SiC has the following advantages:

MOCVD is a new vapor phase epitaxial growth technology developed on the basis of vapor phase epitaxial growth (VPE).

Currently, many semiconductor devices employ mesa device structures, which are predominantly created through two types of etching: wet etching and dry etching. While the simple and rapid wet etching plays a significant role in semiconductor device fabrication, it has inherent drawbacks such as isotropic etching and poor uniformity, which result in limited control when transferring small-sized patterns. Dry etching, however, with its high anisotropy, good uniformity, and repeatability, has become prominent in semiconductor device fabrication processes. The term “dry etching” broadly refers to any non-wet etching technology used for removing surface materials and transferring micro and nano patterns, including laser etching, plasma etching, and chemical vapor etching. The dry etching discussed in this text specifically pertains to the narrow application of processes using plasma discharge—either physical or chemical—to modify material surfaces.

SiC MOSFETs are transistors that offer high power density, improved efficiency, and low failure rates at high temperatures. These advantages of SiC MOSFETs bring numerous benefits to electric vehicles (EVs), including longer driving range, faster charging, and potentially lower cost battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Over the past five years, SiC MOSFETs have been widely used in the power electronics of EVs in vehicles from OEMs such as Tesla and Hyundai. In fact, SiC inverters accounted for 28% of the BEV market in 2023.

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.
