Taiwan's Power Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC) has announced plans to build a 300mm wafer fab in Japan in collaboration with SBI Holdings. The purpose of this collaboration is to strengthen Japan's domestic IC (integrated circuit) supply chain, with a particular focus on circuits for AI edge computing and packaging technologies.

By 2027, solar photovoltaic (PV) will overtake coal as the world's largest installed capacity. The cumulative installed capacity of solar PV nearly triples in our forecast, growing by nearly 1,500 gigawatts over this period, and will surpass natural gas by 2026 and coal by 2027.

As the world looks for new opportunities in semiconductors, gallium nitride continues to stand out as a potential candidate for future power and RF applications. However, for all the benefits it offers, it still faces a major challenge; there are no P-type (P-type) products. Why is GaN touted as the next major semiconductor material, why is the lack of P-type GaN devices a major drawback, and what does this mean for future designs?

The Silicon Carbide (SiC) production process encompasses the preparation of substrate and epitaxy from the materials side, followed by chip design and manufacturing, device packaging, and finally, distribution to downstream application markets. Among these stages, substrate material processing is the most challenging aspect of the SiC industry. SiC substrates are both hard and brittle, making cutting, grinding, and polishing extremely difficult. This increases the likelihood of defects during processing and reduces the yield rate. Currently, major international SiC manufacturers are planning to transition from 6-inch to 8-inch SiC wafers. Overcoming the challenges associated with 8-inch substrates has become a critical benchmark for the SiC industry. This article will introduce the key parameters of SiC substrates.

The most basic stage of all processes is the oxidation process. The oxidation process is to place the silicon wafer in an atmosphere of oxidants such as oxygen or water vapor for high-temperature heat treatment (800~1200℃), and a chemical reaction occurs on the surface of the silicon wafer to form an oxide film (SiO2 film).
