Wafers are sliced from crystal rods, which are produced from polycrystalline and pure undoped intrinsic materials. The process of transforming polycrystalline material into single crystals through melting and recrystallization is known as crystal growth. Currently, two main methods are employed for this process: the Czochralski method and the zone melting method. Among these, the Czochralski method (often referred to as the CZ method) is the most significant for growing single crystals from melts. In fact, over 85% of single crystal silicon is produced using the Czochralski method.

CVD SiC coated susceptors function as specialized wafer holders in Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) processes, playing a crucial role in semiconductor fabrication. These components are vital for maintaining the structural integrity of wafers during epitaxy under extreme conditions, such as high temperatures and corrosive environments. **

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.

High-purity quartz possesses remarkable physical and chemical properties. Its inherent crystal structure, shape, and lattice variations contribute to exceptional characteristics such as high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, low thermal expansion coefficient, high insulation, piezoelectric effects, resonant effects, and unique optical properties. These attributes make it an irreplaceable foundational material for the development of strategic and pillar industries.

Compression molding, isostatic pressing, and rod extrusion are the three most common methods for producing graphite rods, similar to those used for creating graphite tubes.

Epitaxial wafer process is a critical technique used in semiconductor manufacturing. It involves the growth of a thin layer of crystal material on top of a substrate, which has the same crystal structure and orientation as the substrate. This process creates a high-quality interface between the two materials, allowing for the development of advanced electronic devices.
