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.

There are many types of gallium nitride (GaN), with silicon-based GaN being the most discussed. This technology involves growing GaN materials directly on a silicon substrate.

In the realm of semiconductor device fabrication, the precise control of crystal growth is paramount for achieving high-quality and reliable devices. One technique that has played a pivotal role in this domain is Liquid-Phase Epitaxy (LPE).

​In the realms of semiconductor technology and microelectronics, the concepts of substrates and epitaxy hold significant importance. They play critical roles in the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices. This article will delve into the differences between semiconductor substrates and epitaxy, covering their definitions, functions, material structures, and application areas.

Etching is a critical step in chip manufacturing, used to create minute circuit structures on silicon wafers.

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.
