In their newly released annual report, TSMC Chairman Deyin Liu and CEO Chieh-Jia Wei revealed the progress related to the 2nm process.

The wafer boats, loaded with a batch of wafers to be processed, are positioned on long cantilevered paddles.

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.

At present, the most important direction trend of substrate development is to expand the diameter. The 6-inch mass production line in the global SiC market is maturing, and leading companies have entered the 8-inch market.

Plasma is the fourth state of matter, and it plays a crucial role in both industrial applications and natural phenomena.

In conclusion, both graphitization and carbonization are industrial processes that involve carbon either as a reactant or a product. Carbonization refers to the process of converting organic matter into carbon, while graphitization involves transforming carbon into graphite. Therefore, carbonization is classified as a chemical change, whereas graphitization is recognized as a microstructural change.
