The processing of 4H-SiC substrate mainly includes the following steps:

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.

Electrostatic chucks (ESCs) have become indispensable in semiconductor manufacturing and flat panel display production, offering a damage-free, highly controllable method for holding and positioning delicate wafers and substrates during critical processing steps. This article delves into the intricacies of ESC technology, exploring its principles of operation, various adhesion mechanisms, and fundamental structural components.

The semiconductor thin film deposition process is an essential component of modern microelectronics technology. It involves constructing complex integrated circuits by depositing one or more thin layers of material on a semiconductor substrate.

As a unit of length, Angstrom (Å) is ubiquitous in integrated circuit manufacturing. From precise control of material thickness to miniaturization and optimization of device size, the understanding and application of Angstrom scale is the core to ensure the continuous development of semiconductor technology.
